FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Thursday, May 6:
» Hooray! Boy George appeared in an episode of the A-Team on this day in 1986. Our recollections are fuzzy, but we remember George helping Murdoch dress up as pregnant woman "Not that hat; it loses your eyes" and the whole gang clapping along somewhat uncomfortably to a rendition of Karma Chameleon at the end.
» A postman bitten on the knackers by a dog was awarded £4,750 in compensation four years ago. But it's not clear who had to deliver the cheque.
» Boo! Gondoliers were forced to stop singing to their customers in 1996 following a ruling that if they sang they would be classed as freelance musicians, and liable for state pension contributions.
» It's 10 years since the Channel Tunnel opened. Or the Chunnel. Or whatever it's called these days.
» Happy birthday to Australian actor Alan Dale, who for some reason we detested as Jim Robinson in Neighbours* (57); and Roseanne star George Clooney (43). Okay, he's been in a few other things as well.
» Unrelated fact of the day: Grasping your ears is a sign of repentance or sincerity in India, and appreciation in Brazil. Or keeping them warm in Scotland.
*mainly for the fact the show always cut to scenes of him sitting in the kitchen just in time for the punchline of a joke, e.g. " . . . so then there WEREN'T any left! Ha-ha! Anyway, Todd, where are you off to in such a hurry?"

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.
