So anyway, I just got back from a gig watching the Welsh Beatles.  They closed their set with Strawberry Fields For Ivor.

I learned an interesting piece of trivia just recently, but should have known the punchline already. I was asked, "Do you know the official name for Bangkok?" and there are slightly longer versions I have seen, but the official name is 168 characters long (longest city name in the world) and takes 24 seconds to pronounce in Thai! I had to admit I had never seen that but it was no wonder it is rarely ever seen... imagine trying to place a 911 call with it, ugh.
