A clip of Bruce McCulloch and Dave Foley in the 1980s Anne of Green Gables!

Bruce is in the debutante ball scene for like five seconds. Don't remember Foley in it though.

Is it this? It's the best thing ever. There was also a whole series of him lecturing in Manchester, but they seem to have gone.

yes it is! and it is! thank you - !

can't find a list of all the NME editors 1952-date. This follows on from an Observer (I think) article I read about Krissi Murison and a number of her predecessors.

Looking for a website which lists film soundtracks in the order they appeared in a film and describes the scenes they were in.

A picture of this where the cover has been defaced (why do I think perhaps by John(ny) Lydon/Rotten) to say 'Captain Wanker'

Reviews differentiating the various versions of the Area cds. Only recently had it confirmed that there were remasters since the late 80s.

ugh, i feel like i've asked this before, maybe repeatedly, but where is the thread where politicians are all making the "i'm sorry" face? i will bookmark it this time.

I've been looking for a high resolution version of <a href="http://tinyurl.com/cph35ns";>my girlfriend's favourite photograph</a> (google images), it must be big enough to blow up onto a canvas. Not had much luck with google.

AJD, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 16:13 (thirteen years ago)

1024x892 is bigger than the ones there but will still look bad blown up, I guess. Unless you did that posterise thing on it, maybe (what's that called, when it becomes made up of circles and what not?)

Alba, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 16:18 (thirteen years ago)

i would recommend hiring dan lacey to paint it

That is so damn cute I just spent 10 minutes looking for it as well. I could mess around with it in photoshop but the image quality is the image quality.. :(

It looks like a home scan of a print that's then been passed around lo-res around the net, so I'm kind of doubtful you'll ever get a hi-res of it.

The music video for 'Bad Sad Hill' by Kheops which is a different track to 'Sad Hill' from what I can remember. I have been trying to find it for more than a decade. It involved kung fu moves atop a French high rise. I think.

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 17:46 (thirteen years ago)

oh I tried to find the song Kingdom of Lies by Folk Implosion and it was not available anywhere legally that I could find. This may have changed; I did not re-search.

Someone posted this list, maybe even on ILX, of great songs to play for kids that won't annoy the shit out of adults. Like, instead of the Wiggles and so on it maybe had the Ramones and others on it. Does this sound at all familiar to anyone?

Some movie which is animated versions of real couples talking about their therapy. I watched it once on a plane, of all things. It was probably around 2010. Googling for it brings up one zillion unwanted references to the movie 'Couples Therapy'.

There was a British animation that did this:

median household net worth back to 1800. i realize that obviously there's not solid data once you go past 1960 or whatever. but somewhere out there, someone has probably estimated, year by year, how much a median household's net worth was back in the 1800s.

i'm looking for it because i was trying to make a neat chart showing how how rich all of the US presidents have been compared to the median. i've got the data for the presidents. not the citizens.

a pen-and-ink drawing of two men standing facing each other. the guy on the left is holding a beehive on the end of a stick, and the guy on the right is sticking his dick into the beehive. the guy on the left is saying, "WHAT FEELS AWESOME?" and the guy on the right is saying, "THIS FEELS AWESOME!", and they both have rainbow-colored confetti (or maybe flowers?) streaming out of their mouths. very positive vibe all around. I think I saw it on ilx one time. help?

plausibly correct lyrics to "Cockney Translation" by Smiley Culture. The giveaway that the lyric-site attempts are all copied from each other is that in most of them, apparently "Cockney have name like Treey", which I don't believe for a second.

anatol_merklich, Friday, 26 April 2013 19:52 (thirteen years ago)

The version I just looked at looked ok but badly-typed. "Treey" is a typo for "Terry", right? As in Terry and Arthur off Minder? And Cockney live on a drum, not a brum. Etc.

I remember there was some sort of music video that featured a horribly-animated Godzilla-like creature. Maybe it was a Ja Rule video? Maybe it coincided with the 1998 film? Maybe it was never actually released, but it was very expensive to make? Somehow my Google skills are not helping me today.

Michael Gove's appearance on 'University Challenge: The Professionals', approx 10 years ago, I think it was Times hacks vs Guardian hacks. I'd never heard of him before but I have a very clear memory of him frequently hitting the buzzer to answer a question, being told he had got the answer wrong and the camera catching then him screwing his face up in this look of 'but how can this be?' bafflement/petulance. For years afterwards when I saw him the paper/on TV I thought 'oh, it's that prat from University Challenge'.
I can't find any reference to this on the internet though, let alone video footage, can anyone else confirm if it I'm just imagining the whole thing?

There's a passing mention of it here, so at least you can be reassured that it probably did happen.

Thanks!

I'd love to see that!

will.i.an (cajunsunday), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 17:46 (twelve years ago)

I feel like I remember it quite vividly, I know I formed an immediate negative impression of him that was subsequently reinforced by every single thing I saw him do/say, but maybe my present day familiarity with Gove is causing my memory to exaggerate how badly he came across.
