That my milkman will deliver 40l bags of compost along with the milk... and that with the milk there's a choice of cow or goat.

That Asics take their name from the latin phrase "anima sana in corpore sano"

^ [I did know that but what I didn't know is that it is adapted from Roman poet, Juvenal (1st-2nd cents AD), Satire X (10:356)
'...orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano. ...'
[trans.] 'You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.'

I knew both, and got some entertainment out of explaining to my (retired Latin/Greek teacher) dad after he asked if Nike knew their name was a goddess. He was mildly disapproving of not going with Msics but that's a lot harder to pronounce!

I knew the ASICS thing too. It's a good fact.

Lol. One of my jobs at the weekend was shifting a couple of heavy bags of compost that had been delivered with TH's mum's milk, but if it's the same milkman then that must be a very very long round indeed.

Why couldn't they just get the goat to carry the compost?

Ours will also deliver compost, but is it peat-free?
I am also annoyed by Asics instead of Msics.
