I remember reading that years ago in my Neighbours-watching days.

In my early days on a certain skyscraper forum circa 2005/06, there was a member in the Birmingham subforum called Grendel, who had a picture similar to this as their avatar:




Well, I'm sure others will know but just today I've finally found out that the picture is from the front cover of a Marillion B-sides album called B'Sides Themselves - and the first track is called.... Grendel!

Spoiler:

That's clever. Each of the parts that make up the character on the front are from fragments of the backs of the different Marillion singles - ie. the reverse sides; the B-sides.

Yes, same, I knew this too, from then.

I watched the last episode, the first time in about twenty years I’d tuned in. Imagine my surprise to see Karl as he is now. There was Jackie doing her soliloquy. I thought they should’ve used technology to have Helen Daniels do it. Helen was Neighbours gran, Susan is a blow in.

I've just looked up on Google why so many rappers are called "Lil' [something]".

Quote :

It is a common nickname on the streets, which made its way into hip-hop as early as 1988 when Houston rapper Lil' Troy first rocked the moniker.

There are some really, really stupid names there.

A bit of an odd one out but I forgot about the British Lil' Chris, the teenager who had a short recording career before committing suicide. I guess he was literally little.

Have we ever done one of his albums?

The (extended) Channel 4 theme was released as a single!

I knew that.

"Veni, vidi, vici," was pronounced, "Wenny, weedy, wikky."

Makes you wonder how he ever managed to conquer anywhere, talking like that.

This isn't strictly true, BTW.

The Internet assures me it is.

Maybe in Essex dear.

I'm afraid it's you lot who are wrong, and it's we Trinovantes who are pronouncing it the way Caesar did.
