Why would the fact you're a moron upset me?

As an aside though another Move song, Flowers in the Rain was the first song ever played on Radio One.

That could and should have been posted on me remarkably unpopular Music anecdotes thread....

Sean, if the thread had been called useless music trivia it almost certainly would have been. I have any number of such facts I could amaze you good people with.

Hit me.

Happily, the first Spice Girls Single not to go to Number 1 was Stop, it was kept off top spot by Run DMC vs Jason Nevins - It's Like That.

If you see someone alternately weeping and screaming obscenties at the Heavens it's either me or someone who's been to Bradford

If you see a man who looks like he is going on safari, that is almost certainly Galted.

If you see an exceptionally handsome man who may or may not look like he works in B&Q, that will be me.

If you see a massive, seething, wallowing blob of humanity, that will definitely be TopHat.

Unlikely you'll see me on account of my swiftness, stealthiness and ability to blend in with my surroundings.  However, I will keep an ear out for bamboozled Men of the North and point you in the right direction.

PS - in London some money is made of paper, don't sneer at it as you can buy many things with it in other parts of the land.

You're not doing the idea of Julius as a deity any good.

Ridiculous...surely the purchase of items using dog's teeth is a common practice in all parts of the land including "that there London"?

I believe so, including but not limited to:- Pearly Queens, Jellied Eels, Unwarranted Rudeness and Cous Cous salads.

Though you do get your change in sneer form...

Not a word of a lie. It breaks my heart to see visiting Men of the North using theirs for fire or shoe stuffing when they could use it to buy a delicious chicken burrito or a pair of Hi-Tecs and woolly socks.

Having tasted a chicken burrito, it's no surprsie my Northern comrades are eating woollen socks and using fancy laces to string up the filth mongers selling this cr@p and calling it food.

Went to London once (I lie, I'll never go, I heard it from a bloke who knew another bloke who once dreamed that he'd met a bloke who'd been) and saw a sign saying "All our food is cooked using VEGETABLE oil!"

It's madness...no wonder you're all on drugs

I'm not a deity, just a normal bloke. To you, that is enough to make me appear god-like.

Julius works in mysterious ways.

Ruskie auditor back in the building. Should have had my haircut.

The thread has been split again.

Jeff talking about the Spice Girls is now the OP. Happy days.

I'm learning to speak Russian. Had a bit of an advantage as I've watched A Clockwork Orange about twenty times and read the book once.

It's proof that there is a Julius and that he's a kind, loving Julius.

Just hope this fact is actually a fact and not another repeat of my unfortunate England World Cup number one snafoo.

Извините, если я пахло в последний раз вы сидели со мной, я был ужасно висела над? Это происходит только несколько раз в неделю.

Haven't advanced that far, I can say "where can I smoke here?" though I might have to take up smoking again for it to be useful.

Inspirational on here today! In-spi-rational!

It's my party. And I'll cry if I want to.

I'm afraid of the dark. Especially when I'm in a park.

I'm afraid of a ghost. Its the sight that I fear most.

I'd rather have a piece of toast. And watch the evening news.

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains

It explains your career choice Tino. Distinct lack of minerals

I don't recognise those lyrics, Shah?

It explains your career choice Tino. Distinct lack of minerals
Vitamins are needed for the sturdiest of generals

I do have a large appendage to compensate

Though the way i use it may not be great
As it involves lots of vegetables and animals

f*cking magnets, how do they work?

And Tino makes some contributions as well.

I wonder how Jeff is getting on.

My bet is he is still wandering around Waterloo looking for the exit. I might nip out later and see if I can spot an irate Yorkshireman shouting obscenities at a Barista.

"Ey up lad. Is tha putting a whole f*cking cow in that there coffee?"

I think that he's gawping at a set of traffic lights, his mouth hanging open.

Or he has been stopped in his tracks by the gap between the carriage and the platform.

Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.

Could have slipped on a jellied eel and is now floundering whilst dead eyed commuters ignore his writhings, whilst using hand free headsets on their phones for no real reason...

He could be transfixed by the London omnibuses that have no horses attached.

He probably trying to reclaim the shard for Yorkshire

Remonstrating at MacDonalds for the lack of blackpudding on the menu?

He's far too patriotic to go into a fancy foreign restaurant.

Becoming exasperated at people actually carrying a dog under their arms.

Moaning that his coffee has ice in it.
