Totally irrelvant TBer info share thread

Sunday nights and boredom... a bad mix.

Time to watch a Tom Mix movie..

My grandmother used to refer to 30 minuets after the hour as "half past" and 15 minutes after the hour as "a quarter past." Does anyone still do this?

I'll sometimes refer to 45 minutes after the hour as "a quarter til" or "a quarter to." But I never hear anyone say it's half past or a quarter past.
I often say both quarter of or quarter after, but use X:30 instead of half past X. Noon:30 is my favorite.
