@Romeo Fabulini,

Don't know, I didn't see it.
But Brian Clough did a lot of unpredictable things. Impulsive ones too.

All you folks who went to Sunday school: a question which has been plaguing me.
The old hymn tune often sung to the words "Why was he born so beautiful...."

What is the first line of the actual hymn?

@McTag,
I didn't think it was a hymn. I remember hearing it on Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence where David Bowie's character had a flashback to when his younger brother was being ragged at public school. I remember the lines,
Why was he born so beautiful, why was he born at all?
he's no bloody use to anyone, he's no bloody use at all.

@izzythepush,

Not so many hymn-singers around these days. And tunes have been re-used since time immemorial of course.

I at last remembered the second line, so was able to google it.
For anyone interested, it's
Hosanna, loud hosanna
The little children sang

@McTag,
I think it's disgraceful, using hymns to call poor old Anna a whore, and with an American accent to boot!

@izzythepush,

Your knowledge of bawdy songs appears to be more extensive than mine. Smile

@McTag,
I did buy this book at a tender age.

I particularly liked, The Old Brown Cunts Of England.

@Magnet,
I didn't know there are that many normal people Maggi.

It's 0.01% in my experience. And there was something odd about her come to think of it but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was.

And they don't vote anyway.

Disastrous fire yesterday in the Glasgow School of Art, Mackintosh's masterpiece.

Assuming that's the person who made the graphic, and it's not just someone who is linking something that he or she found on the web.

When I was posting high resolution pictures of Trayvon Martin's corpse on the gun control threads, I had to explicitly clarify every single time that I was not the creator of the pictures. One of the pictures contains a rather unfortunate spelling error, and I'd really hate for people to think that I was responsible for it.
