- Moustache number four is on Jude Law, grown to play Dr Watson. One is George Clooney's circa 2001, two is Clark Gable's and three is Pierce Brosnan. Movember is a moustache-growing charity event to raise funds for prostate cancer research.
- The claim was six in 10 children conceived in an MFI bed in its 1980s peak. With today's fragmented market, not even Ikea can make such a claim, and instead its estimate is one in 10 Europeans.
- Chocolate digestives will drop in price - biscuits, so classed as a luxury. Jaffa Cakes and M&S teacakes will stay the same price as these are classed as cakes (no VAT).
- It's Tony Blair - Newcastle's Sunday Sun has admitted it misquoted the former PM 11 years ago. Meanwhile, Selfridges sacked Santa after a grandmother complained he'd asked her to sit on his lap. And on Tuesday, Larry Mendte, of the Access Hollywood show, was convicted of hacking into rival Alycia Lane's e-mails.
- It's "bosses". Swedish researchers said on Tuesday that the stress of working for an inconsiderate boss may increase the risk of heart disease.
- It's "an egg", said environment minister Jane Kennedy - the only foodstuff all government departments source from the UK, according to figures out on Wednesday. Most milk served is British, but meats and produce lag behind.
- Sarah Palin named her turkey Thanksgiving. And George Bush has pardoned his last turkeys - Pumpkin and Pecan - before leaving office. The practice of a public figure pardoning a turkey before Thanksgiving goes back decades.
