FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Friday, March 26:
» The first women were allowed on the floor of the London Stock Exchange. But egads! One had dared to wear trousers, and had to be taken aside and given a stern lecture.
» Lonnie Donegan became the first British act to enter the charts at number one, when "My Old Man's a Dustman" went straight to the top of the charts in 1960.
» 10 years ago, David O'Dell of Apple Valley, California, set a new world record by spitting a wad of tobacco 15.07metres. His folks must have been so proud.
» People stopped bleeding all over the place when the sticking plaster was patented in 1845.
» Happy birthday to: Star Trek's Mr Spock, Leonard Nimoy (73); Diana Ross (60); The Krankies' Ian Tough (57); and the original reason we tuned into Baywatch, Billy Warlock (44).
» Unrelated fact of the day: The corpse lily smells like rotten meat to attract flies.

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.
