FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Friday, March 19:
» The world's largest omelette was made in Yokahama, Japan, using 160,000 eggs.
» Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson announced their engagement on this day in 1986. But six years later, to the day, it was announced that Sarah, Duchess of York, was seeking a divorce. Four years later, Nelson and Winnie Mandela were granted a divorce. What is it about March 19 and couples?
» Two years ago, a team of researchers from Aberdeen University were awarded £30,000 to investigate what makes beer go off. But we don't think they ever got it to detonate.
» A winner of £16,000 on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? was arrested for non-payment of fines after being spotted on the show five years ago. D'oh!
» Happy birthday to: The first Bond girl, Ursula Andress (68), very-good-at-being-scary actress Glenn Close (57), and actor Bruce Willis (49).

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.
