"As I commented on the other thread today, it's possible to get all daily nutrition from just 5 cups broccoli, 1.5 cups peanuts, and 3 cups milk." That's pretty random. Provided you're not just being facetious, wher

I remember when I started university the cap was £3k per year in England I believe. That was one of the reasons I chose to go to Scotland - no tuition fees for EU students (the fact that students from the rest of Britain have to pay is anot
