While playing the 'Around the world in 80 days' quiz machine in my local last night the question (worth 878miles to Warsaw): Who had a hit with 'Wake up it's a beautiful morning'? came up. It p*sses me off that (a) they can't get the title correct and (b) I suspect the masses would get it wrong if they did.
That, and the aural Sun newspaper that is Talksport using the opening bars of the above and the alarm clock bit from Martin Doom! on their Sunday morning sports show drives me to despair though I'm sure Martin is grateful for any royalties he may recieve (and if he doesn't he surely should).
I suppose it's the one Boo's song in the national psyche and maybe I should let it go but Talksport presenters can seem at times horrendously right wing, obnoxious and ignorant. |

Talksport is indeed hideous, right wing, obnoxious and ignorant. And James Whale is BIG FUCK OFF TWAT of the wankiest order.
That said its Sat afternoon/midweek coverage of football games shites all over the premiership arse lickery of Radio 5 (gotta say that its breakfast show is ignorant and obnoxious as well). |

I've seen a quiz machine that had the question - which band has a member called 'Sice' in...
Before I could press the button one of my spazzo work colleagues lept forward and confidently pressed 'C - Sleeper' or something...

One quiz machine asked "Who released Unfinished Sympathy?", and I pressed the button for the Verve...
