FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Wednesday, March 17:
» Think twice about cursing if it starts to rain over the next few hours - Noah boarded the ark on this day 3446BC.
» And lo! The New English Bible did sell out its first print run of one million on its first day in 1970.
» A lighthouse balanced on the edge of Beachy Head was rolled 55ft away from the cliff edge five years ago, at a cost of £250,000.
» At the same time, Monica Lewinsky was promoting her biography in Yorkshire. She posed for photos while tucking into chips, mushy peas and a pint of Old Speckled Hen (to everyone thinking of submitting jokes about "sucking cock", please don't).
» It was reported four years ago that "Mr Benn - The Movie" was in production, and that John Hannah was set to star opposite Jane Horrocks. So what happened to it, then?
» Eurovision fact! German entrant Corinne May was kicked out of the competition five years ago after it was revealed the country's entry, "Just Listen to the Children", was a reworking of an old song and therfore against the rules.
» A former lover of Madonna, Jim Albright, hoped to make a mint by selling her old pants two years ago.
» Happy birthday to: Dallas' Bobby Ewing, aka Patrick Duffy (55), Altered Images (of Happy Birthday fame) singer and brief Eastenders actress Claire Grogan (42), and man-friendly Boyzone boy Stephen Gately (28).

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.
