Cheesy chips could be banned from competition venues, H&H can reveal, as research has found they can have a performance-enhancing effect on riders and horses.

The equestrian centre cafe staple has been found to improve concentration and memory in riders, owing to the effect of the combination of ingredients on the hypothalamus area of the brain. But there are also indications they can increase stride length and flexion in horses.

What about "To the front of the queue, even though you don't belong there, so you'll feel bad about it all day"?

Can confirm. I left a pub in 1999 and lifted a car off a pedestrian.
