    No, but in 1984 their 'Wild Boys' video equalled the 'Thriller' production cost...

    Stroller is right, Bowie spent over half a million on it. The previous record was held by the Jacksons 'Caqn you feel it?'...

    Why is the marathon distance exactly 26 miles and 385 yards?

    The marathon had to finish in front of the royal box. Thus the extra distance.

    Happy belated birthday Beth! And thank you for revitalising this thread, given that we have reached the nadir of international break quality and there is nothing else going on here.

    I'll take a guess that these are the Norse names for the months of the year....month of the wolf etc etc.

    Certainly looks to be something seasonal here. Worms breaking up the soil - seeds in April - first milking - hay etc. Could the next one (September) be something to do with fruit picking or harvest or even vines. If not Norse then Roman or Greek ?

    ...if there is a Hunter in there too might be descriptions of the moon. No idea who describes a harvest moon as a harvest moon though......farmers presumably

    Correct Stan, these are the moons as listed in the 'Farmers Almanac.'

    No mate, the perspective would have been all wrong.
