Which is of course a reference to this, which famously features a cows eyeball being sliced with a razor hence the lines ‘got me a movie want you to know, slicing up eyeballs I want you to know’ etc
Of course!
When they did their Doolittle tour a few years back, they had a huge projection screen and showed the eye sequence just before they came out on stage.
I know they used imagery from the film on the album artwork and in the videos, but that was still a bit much.
It’s kind of true. It’s mainly teaching the mathematical concepts behind the supply and demand curve drawing you do in a level. Also the models they use for macro are basically rubbish.
Mono + poly = monopoly
I thought the kids TV show Brum was named because its a noise that cars make. Turns out it was also set in Birmingham.
This just occurred to me while laying in bed at 10.30pm on a Sunday having not thought about the TV show Brum for approximately 20 years.
Wouldn’t that be BritExit?
BritExit means Brexit
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
In the spirit of this thread:

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.”
