    I have just been watching TOTP Christmas 1975 with the subtitles on.

    I always thought the Tymes song "Miss Grace" had the lyric "Satin and the human race" which didn't make much sense. It turns out that the actual words are; "Satin and perfume and lace".

    I only took 49 years the get there.

    Our younger daughter, when she was two/three years old used to sing along to Wonderwall. We then realised she was singing, 'maybe, you're gonna be the one at Sainsbury's.' She thought it was an advertisement. Still gives me a chuckle and she's thirty years old now.
