Getting nostalgic for ‘Grexit’

Often think about when Brexit was coined from that and sounded a bit silly.

Didn’t realise until today that Summer Of 69 by Bryan Adams is not about the year 1969… it’s about the sexual position

Also didn’t realise there is a Musical Things You’ve Been Slow To Realise on the Music board

I always thought it was from Brussels Exit, TBH. I think because all the leavers seemed obsessed with Brussels like men of Gondor talking about Mordor.

I like the fact that Vallance disputes that saying it’s just about the year (and TBF the apostrophe in the title backs him up), meaning there’s a huge possibility that he and Adams were sitting there writing the song and Jim’s just writing it pure while Bryan’s stifling the giggles at the double-entendre only he is reading…

My copy of this record is called 69. It was reissued with the title as Class of '69 to be able to get played on the radio.

When I first heard it during the referendum run up the news always seemed to refer to Brussels as synonymous with the EU. I guess it was actually a clever pro-Leave framing, making the EU seem like nothing more than a foreign bureaucracy.

You might be overthinking this a bit. Isn’t it just bog standard shorthand used when reporting on foreign affairs? Like: “Beijing responded that Trump is a cunt and he can shove his tariffs up his hole.”

Detective Munch

Munch has become the only fictional character, played by a single actor, to physically appear on 10 different television series. These shows were on five different networks: NBC ( Homicide: Life on the Street , Law & Order , Law & Order: Special Victims Unit , Law & Order: Trial by Jury , and 30 Rock ); Fox ( The X-Files and Arrested Development ); UPN ( The Beat ); HBO ( The Wire ) and ABC ( Jimmy Kimmel Live! ). Munch has been one of the few television characters to cross genres, appearing not only in crime drama series, but sitcom ( Arrested Development ), late night comedy ( Jimmy Kimmel Live! ) and horror and science fiction ( The X-Files ).

Presumably he plays a big part in the St Elsewhere theory that every TV show takes place in one boy’s head?

Always found the worst aspect of Spotify is scrolling down loads and loads of album releases in weird orders for bigger artists.

Today I finally spotted I could switch to album cover mode:

Just realised Theranos is a thing and not some kind of humourous Theresa May/Thanos play on words.

Had no idea that a dental dam could be used for something other than sexual prophylaxis!
