The line in Squeeze's Cool For Cats is

"The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go"

not 

"The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause they've got nowhere to go"

as I've thought since 1979 ☹🤦‍♂️

I always wondered why they got a gang of villians seeing as they had nowhere to go,thanks for clearing that up.

Almost all of Frasier’s radio phone-in callers were voiced by celebrities.

At the end of every series they'd do a roll-call of that season's celeb callers. Dunno if they include that on the repeats.

Fat people float on water better than your average weight person. I thought they would sink quicker but there you go. Eat up before go on a cruise just in case.

Didn't help Robert Maxwell much

When Cap'n Bob fell off his yacht I was first year at Aberdeen Uni. The Uni had taken some nicked pension money off Bob for the Robert Maxwell Conference Centre and there was a brass plaque at King's College with this on it. On Bob's demise some students nicked the plaque and sent a photo of it allegedly chucked in the Don to the student newspaper saying in effect "We nicked it because he was a cnut" 

There's some 50 something out there with a brass plaque in the attic.

heard on the radio yesterday that the clock on Elizabeth Tower doesn't have an "X" at  10/11/12.

It has an "F", supposedly because the designer thought X was a bit "Satan-y".

 

checked it out and its true

Shiny Happy People was nearly chosen to be the theme tune to Friends.

Sylvester Stallone wanted Another One Bites The Dust to be the main song for Rocky 3 but couldn't secure the rights.

Instead he asked Survivor to come up with a song that sounds like it.
