One song to the tune of another Aug 16

Nine years too late I know, but have you noticed that the lyrics to the verses of the Blur song Stereotypes can be sung to the tune of Squeeze’s Cool for Cats?

Blur Squeeze
The suburbs they are dreaming, they’re a twinkle in her eye
She’s been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye
She wears a low cut t-shirt, runs a little B&B
She’s most accommodating when she’s in her lingerie
The Sweeney’s doing ninety cos they’ve got the word to go
They get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They’re counting out the fivers when the hand cuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names

Sudoku Observer update Aug 15

Yeseterday’s Observer sudoku took me 2 mins 51 secs to complete – possibly my fastest time for any sudoku. It’s been going for three weeks now – time to make it a little harder, I think.

The Independent‘s Super Sudoku on Saturday (try saying that without your teeth in) took 110 minutes – pretty good, I reckon, for such a large puzzle.

Readers Wifes save pop Aug 12

Readers Wifes save pop (and promote their single in the process).

I should probably have mentioned before that the video for Nostalgia was directed by Bryan Bartlett who works for none other than The Mill (yes, that Mill).

Jamie Kane Aug 12

Possibly one of the oddest things the Beeb have ever put online: the life and death of Jamie Kane. Does this link to a new TV show or is it completely random? (Via.)
