Budget labels like Saga and Boulevard specialised in reissuing out of copyright classics and jazz and cheap easy listening and selling them off the 99p racks in Woolworths - but occasionally, and usually by accident, they'd create a classic.

The thingies on boats that you stick the oars through....are they pronounced 'rollocks' or 'row locks'? Well here's a way to remember:
There once was a fellow called Follocks
Endowed with magnificent bollocks
He went for a row
In a dinghy you know
And caught the damn things in the rowlocks

Endowed with magnificent bollocks

Call me pedantic but it bugs me when TV anchors say "I'll see you after the break." They WON'T see me, I'm on THIS side of the screen. I'll see THEM. (Unless I change channels)
