FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Thursday, March 4:
» Two years ago, firefighters in Stockholm had to rescue a man that got stuck in a nine inch rubbish chute. He'd been looking for his favourite jumper, knitted by his mum and throw out by his wife, when he got stuck.
» On the same day, tourists were being urged to take out insurance against coconuts falling on their head. Readers! Contact your local MP! It's two years on and there's not so much as a warning sign in the high street.
» A businessman dropped three tons of manure on Tory minister Douglas Hogg's driveway seven years ago, in protest at the BSE crisis.
» Karen Roman from Jerusalem grew the world's largest cauliflower, weighing 10kg, in 1998.
» Crufts begins today at the Birmingham NEC. Fancy your chances? Then bear in mind the cocker spaniel is the breed with the most Best in Show titles, having taken eight of them. But not the same dog.
» The song Happy Birthday To You was published in 1924. So, happy birthday to you, particularly if it's your 80th too.
» And while we're on the subject, also celebrating today are: Astronomer Patrick Moore (81 - ooh, so close!), and slightly sinister Elvis wannabe* Shakin' Stevens (56). Oh, and it's Brooklyn Beckham's fifth birthday today, certain to ensure yet another cover shot for mum Victoria on a certain celebrity magazine.
*(in our opinion - we had nightmares)

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.
