FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Wednesday, March 3:
» It was revealed two years ago that the Queen was to pay Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, £850,000 to give up their business interests . . .
» . . . and 13 years ago the very same HRHness had two stitches in her finger after an "incident" with two corgis.
» Grargh! King Kong premiered in America on this day in 1933. Censors reviewing the film demanded an English translation of words spoken by native characters in the film. Unfortunately, their lines were nonsense made up by the scriptwriter.
» Vet Catherine Roach calculated she would be 65 before she paid off her student debts of £32,000. We're sure every penny spent during her five years in London was related to her studies. Ho yuss.
» Eee-hee! Michael Jackson visited his waxwork at Madame Tussauds in 1985. Given that the models there feature real hair, we figure the difference between the two must have been negligible.
» Pop Idol Will Young hit number one with double A-side Everygreen and Anything is Possible two years ago, while at the same time contestant Jessica Garlick was chosen to represent Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest, beating Tricia Penrose from Heartbeat.
» Happy birthday to: Irish irritant Ronan Keating (27), javelin-thrower Fatima Whitbread (43), and Blackadder's Queenie, Miranda Richardson (46).

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
