@gofaqyosef How do you know?

"Augmented Reality" - is this a euphemism for the world-view of most politicians these days?

The original was by, not Blondie, but John Holt. Check it out search YouTube for John Holt Tide Is High

@The663pete Don't worry - Paris Hilton is someone who will be long forgotten when people still remember Blondie.

Rick Santorum needs to talk to some Danish people to understand why everything he thinks is bad, is actually good.

You guys should take a trip to Denmark and buy some vegetables.

@borntorideanddrive "People who hunt are well educated" - unlike your good self who is unable to distinguish between "there" and "their", "you're" and "your". I can assure you that many of the people who oppose hunting are equally well-educated.

Think I need to listen to Smiths song after this to cheer me up

Which one is the alpha and which is the beta? I can't tell.

Is that Julia Swahala standing on the far right? (not politically)

@HarryGreb1000 I've heard nonsense like it was non-white Chinese that invented gunpowder, clockwork, paper, printing, iron smelting, blast furnaces; then I've heard rumours that Indians invented our numbering system with the symbol for zero, and even (get this) that the very first human civiliza...

Nowegians watching this would be shocked at the waste of butter

@missjacko1 "no one holds or held more power then the church" - are you from 1000 years in the past?

Fun thing to do in your new Ikea kitchen.

Those were the days when you could make a groundbreaking record, sell millions of copies worldwide, and all you needed for the video was something your mate cobbled together on a BBC Micro

The UK had the world's first Republic following the Civil War in 1646 - over 100 years before the French and American revolutions.

@SydneySteve85 Britain never was a country anyway, it's a union of countries. A full federal union, dominated by a single state, ruled by a distant parliament, with a single currency. In other words, Britain is already (from the Scots' perspective) precisely the nightmare entity that English peo...

When you think just a cartoon in a Danish newspaper would trigger a bomb attack, just imagine what this would do today if it was broadcast.

Here's some tips for the journey from the UK

If you take a radio you might be able to pick up English MW radio, even right up to Esbjerg

Take a windproof jacket for going on deck and a travel rug to sit on

The North Sea can be rough - bring sea sickness tablets

Richard Branson would have the sense to refuse to go out and try to sell a load of junk. Instead he would stay behind and devise a product that people wanted to buy.

Unless you've had kids, you won't get this.

Not that it's a vastly populated niche in the pop music landscape, but this is pretty much the seminal work in the canon of Germanic post-modern weirdness

Better use of Casio VL-Tone than Trio

Definitely not Fluke. But I wish Fluke would do a cover of this song it would be superb

Fluke come from Beaconsfield, one of the wealthiest towns in the UK. Mike Tournier attended one of the most academically exclusive secondary schools in the country in High Wycombe.

Mark wrote this after he went to a hardware store where they were showing MTV on the TV. The lyrics are taken from the conversation between blue-collar customers in the store as they were watching. The reference to "faggot" is ironic. It's a critique of the entertainment industry in the US

Ditched T-mobile 2 years ago - they suck

"We'll review you model for accuracy". How do they know if the model of my house is accurate?

@dedpxl Maybe if you've been living in the jungles of Borneo for the last 6 months you won't have heard but the world's worst nuclear accident happened in Japan earlier this year. The radiation spread much further than the Japanese government claim and much of Tokyo and other areas that were not...

You can see the inspiration for Harry Enfield's character in the pub who keeps having arguments meeting famous celebrities - "Oi, Houston, No!"

A song telling the truth to the unwashed masses: "Ain't you heard of contraception?"

Just tried something similar with the video card in my Dell Latitude D810. Result: laptop now doesn't even boot at all. So as I thought, it's a new graphics card or a new machine

I have a fantasy where Captain Kirk turns to Zulu and says, "Mr. Zulu, set the controls for the heart of the sun".

The British Council in Malaysia site encourages Malaysians to study in the UK: "The UK is bursting with energy and has a fascinating heritage ready to explore. As an international student you’ll fit straight into the UK’s multicultural society, ready to enjoy a student life full of excitement, fu...
