Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

I've been getting the name of one of my all-time favourite albums wrong for more than thirty years.

I saw someone misquote the title on a website and smugly decided to search for their version to see if it was a common mistake. Turns out they had it right. Genuinely spinechilling Mandela Effect moment, but I'm obviously just a smug idiot rather than a multiverse traveller.

Name your top four absolute party animals

Not an absolute top four, but a nice start off the top of my head: Hunter S Thompson, Bill Murray, Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton

Yes, it was called "It's Party Time" by Jive Bunny, not "Party Time"...

Three times Platinum.

People like to make fun of the Germans and Japanese for their taste in music, but the UK charts have always been full of utter shite.

Just back from a night in a bar that had karaoke and the crowd was mostly German, it was better than a UK karaoke.

Tam Cowan used to say he'd invite Lenny Henry, so he wouldn't be the least funny person in the room.

Rather invite Lenny Henry than Tam Cowan personally, but neither would make any top 4 guests

The Dutch are the worst.

Alright Nigel Powers, calm down.

I'm not familiar with the Netherlands' current output, but it's funny how 2 Unlimited and the Vengaboys would make them either the best or worst thing ever to happen to pop music, depending on who you ask.

I'm talking the early eighties, Mr Blobby would have been seen as too highbrow.

I once worked with a Dutch guy. I had no idea that there was some sort of rivalry with the Belgians, but apparently there is. His big joke was:

"How do you know who the Belgian is at a wife swapping party? He's the guy that picks his own car keys out of the bowl."

Weird folk.

Whilst in the Museum of Modern Art last week, I was surprised to hear the Vengaboys blasting from the gift shop. 

The Dutch fans’ brass band playing No Limits at a match at USA ‘94 was amusing.

Not uncommon to mock neighbours. US/Canada, UK/Ireland, Spain/Portugal.

The funniest is the English/German thing. The English are convinced they are massive rivals and everything is about England/Germany. Ask a German and it Netherlands or Poland are their rivals. They really don't rate or care about England.
