ABBA won the Eurovision song contest with their hit song Waterloo.  They had less success with the follow up songs Liverpool Street,  Paddington and Thames Embankment.

Though Electric Company was a surprise hit in Liechtenstein.

And Water Works was rumoured to be Una Stubbs' absolute favourite.

Yeah.  Which begs the question.  What do you think of Donald Trump's plans to pass a new law to change the rules of Monopoly.  No you don't get $200 (£200 whatever)  simply for passing go.  No more hand outs.

... and that is just the start.

In Saudi, sex is only permitted in the missionary position.

Any deviation from that results in the following penalties;
Oral: punch in the face
Anal: fisted by the strongest man
Doggie style: eaten by the dogs
All three: dick chopped off

Wouldn't have thought missionaries were welcome in Saudi Arabia. Presumably they call it something else.

Freddie Mercury went into a depression after writing most of Bohemian Rhapsody because as much as he liked it he couldn't come up with a good beginning. He left his Edinburgh hotel room and went for a long walk then hitch hiked into the Kingdom of Fife and found himself in Kincardine where he visited a local disco being held in the community centre.  After 2 minutes he came up with "Is this the real life, is this just fantasy" and was set.  (He also gave a wee local radge a gam in the men's cludgie).

Before Groucho Marx had his trademark greasepaint moustache his youngest brother Enrico, or Zello as the family called him, invented a clear sticky strip of plastic to keep Groucho's false moustache on. He patented the sticky tape and didn't join Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo on stage. The royalties from Zellotape, or Sellotape as it's now known, allowed him to retire to Florida when he was only 23.

When the current series of I'm a Celebrity... was being planned, an additional ordeal for those voted out was to have been Ant driving them to the airport. The idea had to be dropped when it turned out that the personal insurance for the people involved would have been even higher than that for living in the jungle for a month.

Coronation Street was only supposed to last thirteen episodes but halfway through they discovered that the Queen was a fan and she insisted it keep going, which it has done, with increasingly desperate storylines, ever since. Word is that it will be taken off the air as soon as she pegs it.
