FUCK ME FACTS!

We're knackered, and the week's only just started! But we're propping open our eyelids to bring you these astounding facts for Tuesday, August 10:
» It was reported that one woman in eight drank more than the recommended weekly alcohol limit in 1998. And we think we were there when she did it.
» On the same day, it was claimed pedestrians were ten times more likely to end up in hospital after tripping on uneven pavements than after being hit by a vehicle. But what the chances are of tripping on an uneven pavement into the path of an oncoming car, we're not sure.
» Is it hot where you are today? Just one year ago, the highest ever temperature was recorded in Britain, when the mercury reached 37.9c at Heathrow.
» Fancy scaring the kids before bedtime? Just let them know that on this day in 1998 (again!), it was reportd Toyota were genetically engineering trees to eat smog.
» Two chicken packers took their employers to an industrial tribunal after they were sacked for being too tall. We're sure there's a joke in there somewhere . . .
» Paul and Linda McCartney were fined £800 for possession of cannabis in Gothernburg, Sweden, 32 years ago today.
» We worry that those dictionary bods are just a little to eager to please users of short-lived phrases. New entries in 2000 included the following: bleeding edge, cybersquatting, flexutive, lookism and screenager. What a bunch of silly twunts.
» Happy birthday to: Singer Neneh Cherry, whose backing singers in Buffalo Stance still make us laugh, (40), TV gardener Charlie Dimmock (38), and Dynasty/Bad Girls actress Kate O'Mara (65).

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.
