It's amazing how fickle the British People are, the whole point of monarchy is you don't get a vote or a say, it's hereditory and by who they choose to marry - you can't be a monarchist and then say you should skip a generation or decide who they should marry, it's your tough shit. If you don't like it, be a republican. As Gordon said, the whole thing went wrong when the Palace tried to pander to what they thought the public would want.

Ray Davis wrote a follow-up song about Terry and Julie, the lovers mentioned in Waterloo Sunset. He also did a song that goes back into the guitar riff from You Really Got Me.

Pulp also I believe did a sequel to the fantastic Babies song, featuring the same characters further down the line.

John Lennon: "Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away" - Power To The People.

The House Of Love wrote the song "Shining On", referencing their own "Shine On", saw them play last night in Reading, they were fan-Chadwick.

Jimmy Carr was very impressive on Chain Reaction but should be awarded an honour if only for this reason:

"Row as Davidson nick-nicks Carr's gag
   
 Jimmy Carr has taken legal advice after Jim Davidson apparently stole one of his jokes.

Solicitors acting for the Distraction host have now written to the old-school comic demanding an apology after he repeated the gag on his BBC1 show Jim Davidson On The Road.

Carr cracked the joke about fat women at the televised Royal Variety Performance in 2002 ? and Davidson even congratulated him on it.

Carr?s line was: "Someone came up to me last week and complained about that joke. Quite a big boned girl. She said 'I think you're fattist'. I said 'No, I think you're fattest'."

Davidson's joke, with added bile, was: "This big fat weeble-wobbles fat-arsed bird came up and said, ?You're fattist', and I said 'No, you're the fattest'."

A source told The Mirror last night: "Jim came up to Jimmy after the Royal Variety Performance and told him how much he loved the joke.

"Jimmy was flattered, but then he heard that Jim had basically copied the joke on his TV show last month. He is not happy about it and wants Jim to say sorry and to acknowledge it was his joke in the first place."

The story highlights the gulf between modern comics, who pride themselves on  distinctive material, and the older generation for whom swapping the same gags was par for the course."

He would indeed have been a great 2000AD artist, perhaps on ABC Warriors, going on the 4 pages I still have in my posession.

Some nice big scans for you...

Star Trek the next generation,
you're loved throughout the nation,
you're my favourite show,
a buzz in every episode,
you're lucky, you don't have to wait for buses,
you just admit to the transporter,
and off you boldly go.

Mr Warf's my favourite person,
because he's very tall and large,
Jaun Luc Piccard is firm but fair,
he has to be cos he's in charge,
when I, found out that it was ending,
I wrote them all a letter,
to say they had to die,
they sent police right round to see me,
now my, whole life is rather empty,
because you only left me,
where did you boldly go ,
where did you boldly go ,
where did you boldly go ,
where did you boldly go.
Bastards! http://www.adamandjoe.co.uk/star_trek.php">

Natalia (pictured far right) thinks: "Bah, I'll show them - one day the world will be ready for a gymnast with two heads, four legs and a tiny man on their shoulder."
