Spotty's Little Known Facts

[Dujon]

Then there's creeks, which you lot seem to confine to streams/brooks and their ilk which run into an estuary, inlet or ria. Please note the word seem. I cannot speak on the Canadian interpretation but I'm pretty sure that many English speaking territories put a wider meaning to the word. In a broad sense where I live a creek is a stream of water or its dry bed. Just like lots of rivers many of them only serve as run-off channels after heavy rain. One of those runs down and through one side of my property. It seems that the term is not all that dissimilar from the various interpretations of barm. Please, please don't follow up on the last statement, it's too confusing.

one for the old gits on here ....

There was a gentle family based sit-com in the 80's calked "Butterflies" starring Wendy Craig, Geoffrey Palmer and a very young Nicholas Lyndhurst. Set in a v middle class home in Cheltenham with a bored housewife wondering if there was more to life.

The theme tune 'Love Is Like a Butterfly' was written by Dolly Parton but this vetsion was sung by someone else.

I discovered today that the 'someone else' was Clare Torrey ... the very same person who 'sang' on 'The Great Gig In the Sky' on Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'.

There.. I've told you all now.

Look it up.

Your idea and my idea as to what constitutes a bottle of good red wine are likely to differ, so I'll just look it up instead.

You'll find it is Torry, not Torrey - bets could hang on precision.

Your apology .... however spelt ... would be appreciated any time soon then.

Remarkable.

I guess that's why it's a "little known fact".

I like that bit in School of Rock where Jack Black gives some kid who is going to be a backing singer 'The Great Gig in the Sky' to listen to as homework.

A little know fact of no real consequence (except we're playing Blackpool today) ..is that Dublin (dubh-lin) is

If it snows in England it has certainly snowed three weeks earlier somewhere in Canada.

That, my man, is known, in certain circles, as an anti-Danism. They aren't exactly rare, but they are little known.

Everyone has heard of "Je t'aime… moi non plus" released in 1969 by Serge Gainsbourg with his lover, Jane Birkin. It reached number one in the UK, but was banned in several countries owing to its sexual content.

However it was actually written in 1967 and was written for and sung by him with Brigitte Bardot.


There ... & nowt to do with Clare Torry.

On the same tack, the Bill Haley and the Comets Film "Rock around the clock" was banned in Bolton for fear of teenagers getting carried away. They showed it in Farnworth instead and apart from kids dancing in the aisles I don't remember any trouble at all.
