I can't tell you why, but Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho, for a while...

Clap & Clapton (Eric)

...O wait, wasn't the latter named initially as the former? Or am I confusing them both with syphilis?

(Very British! I have the excuse that they are only ever on radio and I don't see their faces and I listen to them all very early in the morning)

Madame Bovary, Mata Hari and Madame Blavatsky. I always mix them up. Mostly I want to refer to the spiritualist fraud and say Madame Bovary instead.

Heave Ho, Wednesday, 14 November 2007 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

the earrings of madame bovary

i'm mildly dyslexic and always read "applause" as "applesauce". usually the context is a dead giveaway that i have to read that passage again.

Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold. It's a breakfast thing.

I was eating Eggs Benedict one day and said to my husband, "Benedict Arnold flew the kite, right?" To this day Eggs Benedict is now Eggs Ben Franklin.

Philadelphia & Pennsylvania - I always forget which is the city and which is the state.

Yes and Bread - no idea why, but these two bands are completely interchangeable in my mind.

Red/Brown, and Blue/Purple - cos I'm colourblind...

Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold.

A pedant writes: Of course you are aware that Eggs Benedict are not named after Benedict Arnold but various other people?

Curiously my friend confuses Eggs Benedict with Eggs Florentine. Which really should be easy to tall apart as one is delicious and the other has spinach.

You mean the belligerent blonde bellowing bassist Bob Mosley from Moby Grape??!?

Yes, I can affirm what you have acutely and astutely asserted.

"Yes and Bread - no idea why, but these two bands are completely interchangeable in my mind."

Mick Ronson and Mark Ronson. For months I had no idea why Mick Ronson had returned as a hip new producer.

Merdeyeux, Thursday, 15 November 2007 21:09 (eighteen years ago)

wait, Mick Ronson's dead? That would have been an even more impressive return than I thought it was.
