The image seems to have been stolen from the flickr group of "people travelling on the Eurostar" for some arcane reason.

Not stolen. The original uncropped photo was uploaded to Flickr with a Creative Commons license allowing free use (including 'adaptation', i.e. cropping in this case) provided attribution to the photographer is given. If you click on the photo on Wikipedia, it credits the photographer and there's a link back to the original work.

OK stolen was the wrong term but you know what I meant.

Sorry, I just thought that because you used the word 'stolen' you were under the impression it had been used without permission. I agree it's a ridiculous photo to use, especially in that cropped form (and I get the impression that the kind of people who are unaware that something like that looks ridiculous are over-represented on Wikipedia), but the reason they have used it is presumably because there are no other photos of him they could find that weren't subject to usage restrictions, i.e. requiring payment of a fee to use them.

Volume 5 (2000s)

Elliot Roberts and Neil Young have said that the Archives project will extend into a fifth volume, which should include songs from 2009's Fork in the Road and the unreleased Toast album, which was recorded with Crazy Horse in 2000.[3][5][9] However, since it will likely take Young another three or four years to complete Volume 2, the probability that he'll get to a Volume 5 in his lifetime is remote at best.

Probably true, but still kind harsh.

who knew there were so many riboon-worthy things to be aware of?

black ribbon is no joke:

Wiccan/Pagan rights and awareness[111]
9/11 - This ribbon is a sign of mourning for those lost in the 11 September attack
mourning and remembrance of the Virginia Tech massacre[112]
melanoma awareness[113]
black lung awareness
transgender hate crime awareness
awareness for suicide, bulimia, anorexia, self-harm, etc.
sleep apnea awareness
violence against men awareness and support, for the ones where men are abused in home violence.

i love ribbons

In the first six episodes of the series, a person whose hair covers his face appears in the background of some scenes, such as to the left when Neil gets hit by Vyvyan with a kettle in "Bomb". This was never explained, though it could be suggested it's simply a projection of Neil's isolation from the group. However, such a thought can easily be debunked.

Mark is not the brother of actress Laurie Metcalf.

On Jimmy Page's website, he lists this song as one on which he plays.[10] However, someone on a forum site said that Page himself has never claimed to have played on the track and has also said that Alan Parker was the guitarist on the session.[11]

Texas State Trooper Corporal Shawn McGee and Corporal Jesse Stewart have stopped the Wienermobile twice in the past two decades for speeding through the small east Texas town of Henderson. [Full articles in Henderson Daily News][citation needed]

Like the Wienermobile speeding down through East Texas.

hahah wait this has the makings of a great Dukes of Hazzard type TV show, these small town cops and their ongoing war with the Wienermobile, Corporal Stewart throwing down his hat in disgust, Corporal McGee's eyes narrowing, while two college kids enjoying their wacky rad summer job high-five in the speeding wiener's front seat, and a souped-up Southern rock version of "My Baloney Has A First Name" roars to life on the soundtrack.

SGT. BYNUM: How come you boys so hot to take down this thing? Speedin's a local issue. Let the sheriff and his deputies take care of it.

Well, I just checked "Bomb" and there's nobody else in the scene apart from Neil and Vyvian

One can assemble a vintage rock music collection in the format, for 25 cents per tape in some cases, and the warm "analog sound" is preferred by some listeners over digital CD, MP3- especially when played through tube amplification units. Players that once cost $300–$400 new in 1970, can be purchased today for only $50. Typically these players exhibit the excellent "Made in Japan" quality of the time, being visibly and electronically superior to the new "Made in China" CD/MP3 electronics available today.

You can see him just to the right of the red couch:

Are you sure this isn't creepypasta? That actually freaks me out quite a bit.

I think it's appropriate that our image links are broken now. Now you see 'em, now you don't.

No. Is he on the floor to the left corner, just when the camera cuts back to Vyv/neil?

I will say his hair seems much blonder than I remembered.

mmm.

Will reserve judgement.

Iha was often considered the "quiet one" in Smashing Pumpkins, but he was known to engage in ad-libbed jokes and rap sessions at live performances. His humor was encapsulated in his use of the catchphrase, "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all," originally from the Bon Jovi song "Wanted Dead or Alive".[7][8]

well, i'm laughing

The railway attempted to buy the land it occupies. A bid of £1 was submitted in view of the high cost of removing asbestos covered pipes alongside the line. The bid was rejected by M-real.[4] English Heritage is considering whether or not to list the 118-span Milton Regis Viaduct. As well as the railway, the future of three feral cats that live under the café at Kemsley was also threatened. It was announced at the National Railway Museum on 4 September 2008 that the railway had won the 2008 Small Group award from the Heritage Railway Association.[5]

In November 2008, the railway was contracted to remove asbestos pipes from a 200 yards (183 m) section alongside the railway.

Reopening

The Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway was originally planned to reopen on Good Friday 2012 but discovery of asbestos at the lineside caused a postponement to Sunday 27 May when the line between Sittingbourne Viaduct and Kemsley Down stations was finally reopened.

just checked Youtube and the extra housemate is definitely there in Young Ones, wonder if it's Lise Mayer?

Any other sightings?

unless somebody's hacked the videos (can't be bothered to check my DVD) this is unambiguous

I didn't hear about the Young Ones until I was in eighth grade when they started showing them on MTV. One of the seniors couldn't get through telling us about an episode without dying in tears, laughing so hard. And one of the bits he made sure to mention was "And in every episode, there's this dude that looked like Reggie Sleenrod sitting like THIS that no one even acknowledges."

I was kinda mad to find out later that he wasn't in every episode.

i don't think most of them stand up very well in terms of funny, tbh, but the sets are always dense with peripheral stuff going on so i'm sure lots of us have noticed this before and then forgot about it

Zeke wears his hat throughout the entire film because he does not struggle to pry open the cellar when the tornado approaches the farm. Hunk (Scarecrow's alter ego) closes and locks the cellar with him when Dorothy arrives at the farmhouse. Zeke and Professor Marvel (The Wizard's alter ego) are the only men wearing hats when Dorothy awakens from being unconscious.

For geneticists, "Chuman" therefore refers to a hybrid of male chimpanzee and female human, while "Humanzee" or "manpanzee" refers to a hybrid of male human and female chimpanzee[2] (cf. tigon/liger). This distinction is not always followed in popular speech.
