See, I always thought that that was a Cook quote, but while googling my other favourite Cook-on-Frost put down, the remark that he 'rose without trace', I instead found an article attributing that quote to Alan Bennett, and the quote I was looking for to Kitty Muggeridge.

Wait a minute… that guy you reposted wasn't an a7x fan!

With some of the jobs it's been doing lately I think the internet is due a talk with management to review its position.

It's riffing on Ocean's One?

Is she still being worshipped by Rastafarians?

Plus The Times' "I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape".

Killdozer - Man Vs. Nature. Inspired by the Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake and the Towering Inferno.

Softly with their song?

Yup, that was what I linked to. It really is magnificent, isn't it? Up there with Peter Wyngarde's, erm, contribution to music.

It is great, isn't it? After posting about it I went off and listened to it, and various Mark and Lard clips online, and I take back the 'probably aren't at all funny' bit - they were hilarious. If editing 'Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart' into 'Something's Gotten Hold of My Arsehole' isn't funny, I don't know…

Also, it has a lot of topical references, and even…

I'm afraid that even appearing on Monty Python wasn't Reginald Bosanquet's finest hour - that'd be this. He was also a pretty legendary drunk, and, for fans of long-running British sitcoms of the late 80s/early 90s that were a bit too clever to be massive hits but a bit too square to become cult hits, the inspiration…

Hey, the Teardrop Explodes were awesome!

When I was young 'un in Britain, my Mum had an album by a group called the Shirehorses, who were in fact a radio double act called Mark and Lard (Lard being Marc Riley from the Fall, for those of you that don't have the requisite free month or so to find out what each ex-member of the Fall has been doing for the last…
