FUCK ME FACTS!

Like it or lump it, the hard drive's back up and running, so here are some amazing things about Thursday, April 22:
» Get this: In 1997 the ITC actually TOLD OFF ITV for "swamping" its output with soap operas and drama at the expense of arts programmes and documentaries in 1997. What a terrible state we'd be in if they'd actually listened.
» Saudi Arabia held the first beauty contest for camels, Miss Dromedary, in 1995. "Ooh, look at the humps on her," the judges may have said. In Arabic, presumably.
» A photo-finish was used for the first time in 1947, at Epsom. Using an Epson? Possibly not . . .
» In a 1967 poll to find the most popular Monkee, poor Mike Newsmith only attracted 7% of votes. Aww, throw the boy a peanut.
» Happy birthday to: Former Bros bassist Craig Logan (35), who met the Goss brothers in the school dinner queue. Presumably this was a few years before their reunion in the dole queue. Also celebrating is Minder and bank advert star George Cole (79).
» Unrelated fact of the day: Cherophobia is the fear of dying from laughter. That would explain the eerie silence around here, then . . .

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.
