This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

I'm not great at anagrams..
and I'd been a fan of the Doors for years before finding out (no great revalatory moment, I read it in a book) that "Mr. Mojo Risin'" (from LA Woman) was an anagram of Jim Morrison.

For fans of Mike Moorcock's work, I also never noticed that "Corum Jhaelen Irsei" was "Jeremiah Cornelius" either.

Duh.

I used to read Moorcock's books as a youngster and did get that anagram
but was taken in by the foreword in Breakfast In The Ruins, which stated that Moorcock died of lung cancer aged 31.

Believed it for years and would contradict anyone who talked about him as if he were alive. Bit of a shock when I saw him on TV.

Or it could be 'O Erinsborough'
like in O Canada.

That's TWO extra "o"s now!
"Neighbours" is also an angram of "our big hens" though.....


or "bring house"
