    TV facts

    1. Fredor was celebrating his 50th birthday when the television was invented.

    2. Apparently Sunderland were once a great football team, although there are no records in the TV archives to back this up.

    3. Gok Wan created the TV show "How to look good naked " after deciding that Albert's suggestion of "How to look good in mustard chinos" was a challenge too far.

    TV is mind-controlling, popularist rubbish designed to make the average person talk about banal and irrelevant things rather than question problems in the way our society is run. Read a book and march on Parliament.

    Also, 'being televised doesn't make you a big team but commiting lots of fouls whilst under the extra scrutiny will be your undoing' - Fredor, 7:19

    The next episode of The Time Team will be a special feature where they unearth some original remains of Nev's Prediction League, which have somehow been preserved in a thick layer of a Neanderthal man's arse scratchings.

    TV is only good for four things - Watching Scarface, Goodfellas, The Godfather and Casino.

    TV Fact.... in the 60's (when Obi was born) he was spotted by the TV cameras jumping off the end of a pier.... everyone shouted TSUNAMI!!!! and the fat get mistook this for Toon Army and his love of the Toon (only second to copious amounts of food) was born.

    I came in from the dogs last night and watched a quick five minutes of a BBC show about the Philippines president having drug pushes bumped off.

    Must watch it later, intense TV viewing, fact.

    Absolutely, the film also (unwittingly) provided the backdrop to the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr.....<only in America>

    ACS misheard a film review of how "Al Pacino looked great in The Godfather " and inadvertently started a doomed fashion craze because he thought they had said "Albert, chinos looked great in the Godfather". FACT
