As the man said, the trouble with the Christian Right is that they are rarely either.

War's 'Why Can't We Be Friends?'

Yeah, a Roots reference would be a really strange thing to pull out for a Brit. There are so many famous British black references that leap more readily to mind! Like… erm… Emile Heskey? Ainsley Harriott?

The original is on DVD? I've got it on my shelf, picked it up a few years ago in an HMV sale. It's excellent, William Hartnell is very good.

Many doctors (rather earlier than Victorian era though) believed that hysteria was the result of the fact* that a woman's womb was not fixed in location. Its usual place was in the belly, growing babies. But when not growing babies it could drift around the body. Sometimes it made its way up to the brain, and this is…

I am overly pleased that EVL has used the little-remembered euphemism "country matters" which manages to be a euphemism despite having the worst word in the language right there at the start. It really needs bringing back - for, my fellows, are we not all countrymen at heart?

The one saying they need to name the proto-dildo? Why, that's the delightful Ms Sheridan Smith, from the sitcom 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps', and London stage versions of 'Little Shop of Horrors' and 'Legally Blonde'. And yes, I'd Sheridan her Smith. Did I do that right?

Quite possibly, your honour. Maybe I'm just too old, but it seemed to hugely accelerate a probably already changing perception of him in the UK from 'Yes, I've heard the name, hip-hop stuff, can't remember any of his songs' to Glastonbury headlining, Mr Beyonce, music business mogul, the new Sinatra. If you're over 30…

Not perhaps massively covered, tho I've heard a couple, but I'd say 'Empire State of Mind' is up there for the other two criteria. Huge crossover popularity (thanks to getting the big Alicia Keys chorus in), which changed perception of Jay Z for people who wouldn't normally have listened to him, and…

Autotune
How autotuned is that voice? Do people not even notice this anymore? Even when he starts speaking it tries to tune him.

Well that got added to the wrong thread… damn arts degree preventing me from using technology.

I know them, but I am a) British and b) a history graduate. Both are solid PMs, if a little hawklike - Palmerston sent gunships to countries that disagreed with him, Pitt the Elder pushed for the War of Jenkins' Ear, one of the best-named wars in history. Palmerston got a city in Australia named after him, Pitt got…

There was only one war with Germany, we just had a lengthy truce in the middle. And Japan switched sides.

For all the comparisons with restaurants, clothing stores etc in these comments, El Knid's comparison is best. Seeing a movie and not liking it is like seeing a sports match and your team playing like crap. You can't get a refund for that. But you might not go again until they sort themselves out. I lost interest in…

Jesus saves, but he doesn't hold the ball, and there's the Archangel Gabriel to put away the rebound.

Toploader would love you to dance to their jazzier version of 'Dancin' in the Moonlight'. They need the money.
