TIL I learned that the son of Dutch former soap actor/current media tycoon Reinout Oerlemans sings on Orphans

Hey, a tourist here. I am not necessarily a Coldplay fan, (I generally like but not love them, but there is so much music out there, and generally I prefer my music to be more bleak) but I have to say that I really like Everyday Life, and at the moment it is on the current roster of records I am listening to. Anyway, as I was looking at the credits of Wikipedia, the name "Ben Oerlemans" caught my name as a Dutchman, since Oerlemans is a Dutch name, particularly common in the area I am originally from. Anyway, after a little bit of googling I find out that Reinout Oerlemans, who was one of the most popular soap actors when I grew up, and then founded a tv production company that became one of the biggest tv companies in the Netherlands, and which is expanding now abroad, has a son called "Ben", and some Dutch gossip sites mention that his children go to the same school as the children of Chris Martin and Gwennyth Paltrow, and one site even brags that one of the other children is the best friend of Apple Martin. Anyway, I thought that was a nice little tidbit.

EDIT I didn't really know which flair was best for this post, I thought News, but I thought some people might think that this would be big news (I have never been on this subreddit before) which it isn't, so I choose Discussion even though it doesn't really fit.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚
