Welsh poet Dylan Thomas came up with a fictional place llareggub for his famous playand poem of Under Milk Wood-now read it backwards
And he also told a story that one day he met a man on a bicycle, wearing a Breton jumper and had a string of onions around his neck. He stopped the man and said "bonjour monsieur", and the man said "Ah, there's French isn't it?"

Until coffee gained popularity, Beer was the breakfast beverage of choice in parts of the US.

Dad's Army actors, Arthur Lowe(Captain Mainwaring) & Clive Dunn(Cpl Jones) brought out music albums in the seventies. Clive you might remember had that nauseating tune Grandad in the charts back then.
The word for the inside of your elbow is 'chelidon'
To 'poon' is to prop up a piece of wobbly furniture with a wedge under the leg.
The smell of Play-Doh is trademarked.

Oh Christ that hideous Clive Dunn song. It’s been 48 (?) years since I first heard it and it still makes me want to scream and vomit simultaneously.

Yeah but not a patch on that other affont to music "There's No-one Quite Like Grandma" from the St Winifred's (Factory) School Choir-with a very young Sally Lindsay, now a successful actress. It almost makes your eyeballs bleed with the tweeness and just nausea-inducing so crap was this song. The moppets singing it must have just had their heads turned being on Top of the Pops-mind you that was also the time that songs like these were vying for No.1 and bone-headed optimists that wanted a Christmas No.1 too.

You’ve got quite a knack for bringing up toe curlers of songs bud. I’ll see your St Winifred’s monstrosity, and raise you Disco Duck by Rick Dee and his cast of Idiots from 1976. Check it out on YouTube if you’re not familiar with it. You’ll be cringing in no time.

Oh no I know it mate - what about Save Your Love by Renee and Renato-how the sneg did that rubbish make a Christmas No.1 and for a modern toe-curler I site Stay Another Day by East 17, yet another dour, wrist-slasher that was a Christmas No.1#
Speaking of No.1's Wham's Last Christmas is tghe most successful No.2 record at Christmas never to be No.1 (Band Aid's Do They Know Its Christmas kept it off but George Michael was part of it so he got a No.1 out of it anyway.)(not including the Band Aid remake)

Renee and Renato eh? Fuck sake, you trying to make me wish for death? OK...so its like that is it?
Try this for size....Keith Harris and Orville with 'I wish I could fly'
That sold 400,000 copies!!
