FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Thursday, April 8:
» Prince Charles lost his cool 21 years ago and swore when a gust of wind blew away the speech he was preparing to deliver to Australian school children - on the use of bad language.
» Clint Eastwood was elected Mayor of Carmel, California, in 1986. An ageing movie star gaining a position of power in America? The very thought!
» Rachel Hunter got her paps out in Playboy five years ago, despite a plea by estranged husband Rod Stewart not to do so. We bet she was really bad at leaving the cap off the toothpaste as well, just to wind him up.
» Creepy fact of the day: It's ten years since a contractor fitting a burglar alarm at Kurt Cobain's house in Seattle found his body three days after he had taken his own life. Tch! And we understand the quote was going to be quite reasonable as well*.
» The first British fire escape was patented in 1776. We have visions of it being made of dry timber and goosefat, but that may just be us being small-minded here.
» Research carried out two years ago showed that one in three 16-year-old boys had tried cannabis, and two in five were regular drinkers. In addition, almost half of school children aged 11-17 had commited a crime. But if Mary gave two apples to Tom, who gave one to Steven, how many apples did Mary have if both boys had an equal number of apples and there were 12 altogether?
» Happy birthday to: Explosion-in-a-box-of-Quality-Street designer, Vivienne Westwood (63), Blur drummer Dave Rowntree (41!), and the lady who turned the letters round on Wheel of Fortune, Jenny Powell (36).

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.
