Just because the scientific might of the mythbusters didn't find it, doesn't mean it isn't out there

ask members of Hawkwind about a brown note

and I've heard some stuff on X factor that'd make me want to shit out of my face !

I agree

.The only notes that I found that "turn women on" are the ones that are green here in the states,& have pictures of American Presidents & American Patriots on them,& they need a lot of those to get "exited".

Eating cheese at night doesn't give you nightmares.

The best selling film of all time is...cellophane! (yeah okay that was a trick one)

The BBC's Newsround was the world's first daily news programme for children, it started in 1972 - and it's still going nearly 40 yrs on.

Ronnie Corbett's first partner on stage was British drag-act Danny LaRue, he was teamed with Ronnie Barker by the late Sir David Frost on his new show 'The Frost Report.'

David Jason won the role of Del Boy when the producer saw him as put upon shop assistant, Granville in 'Open All Hours' wearing, an open to the navel shirt, a 'dangler' necklace made from a cocoa tin lid and sunglasses! The tin that used to fall off the shelf in the shop whenever Ronnie Barker as Arkwright shut the till was triggered by a special effects man pulling a hidden wire. Arkwrights' famous shop disguised it's real use, a hairdressing salon.

Gerry Anderson, maestro of the Supermarionation series' like 'Thunderbirds', 'Captain Scarlet' and 'Joe 90' amongst others, directed only ONE feature film to not have models in it. It was called 'Crossroads to Crime' and I've never bloody seen it - it's only ever shown at conventions. Another one was Doppelganger aka 'Journey to the Far Side of the Sun' but that had models in it. He died earlier ths year-we miss ya Gerry!

MADNESS drummer Daniel 'Woody' Woodgate turned up as drummer for Voice of the Beehive. Lead singer Suggs' (Graham McPherson) was a famous jazz singer. Mike Barson the keyboardist was the first to leave the group and then they renamed themselves The Madness.

"A man, a plan, a canal, Panama."

This sounds nonsensical, but it could apply to the principal architect of the Panama Canal, Ferdinand de Lesseps.
