Alonzo Mosley, FBI?

Thankyou, it tasted very nice and thank Valerie for knowing that I like a splash of milk and one sugar.

Have an upvote for reminding me of Control and Tony.

Please, call me Garry.

She may well have played upfront for Fulchester.

I agree with Brandt that the William and Kate thing is pretty standard stuff for a major Royal Wedding in this country, fueled by papers like the Express and Mail. Diana's death was just plain crazy. I remember, at the time (probably the funeral), thinking, "What the fuck is going on?".

I really don't like Mad Men. I gave it a huge try because people whose opinion I respect raved about it and I watched waaaay more episodes than I should have done knowing that I wasn't enjoying it. I think I disliked all of the characters I was supposed to be rooting for.

Don't get me started on Shakin' Stevens - Google him please - The UK's 80's foremost Elvis impersonating 'entertainer'.

Your instincts serve you well.

Over here in England this list would full of Slade, Wizzard, Mud and Shakin' fucking Stevens.

I regularly relisten to Harris and Adam Scott doing the Jack Sjunior/Brian Pieces bit from the first Farts and Procreation and it never fails to have me crying with laughter, which is, after all, what motherfuckers just want to do.
