The fact that one of the people who sings that Lily the Pink song is Paul McCartney's brother which also made me find out that Paul McCartney is only a stage name
"You can't libel the dead." I've never heard another person say this phrase but Ricky says it with such confidence that you'd think it was common parlance.
Honestly learned quite a bit from them over the many, many relistens over the years. Philosophy, biology, history. Thanks for all the knowledge Rick, play a record.
I got a question right in a pub quiz because of the xfm shows. Question was "What presenter hosted Blockbusters?"
My team had no idea but Bob Holness just came to mind and I got it right
Helmets don’t work on motorbikes because once a feller was wearing one when he crashed his motorbike and his head come off. His head was in perfect condition but it come off
I learned that I feel we're maybe going down, about ten feet below the ground (roughly), but don't worry, it's not real, it's just the way I'm feeling.
The money split for the office isn’t equal (and Steve wouldn’t have wanted it any other way)
But you won’t know that unless you listen to one of the skaghead episodes
I wouldn't say that's the case at all though. Even Ricky, Steve and Karl didn't find it offensive, they thought it sounded tacky and sort of sad.
And I'd hardly say their reaction speaks for a nation, personally I didn't have any negative take on it and I didn't hear that from others (I was 16). I thought it was tackier when we called our "July 7th Bombings" "7/7" for a little while. It felt like the Cliff Richard to their Elvis.

That British people found Americans referring to 9/11 as simply a date offensive. I’m British but am too young to remember it.
I wouldn't say that's the case at all though. Even Ricky, Steve and Karl didn't find it offensive, they thought it sounded tacky and sort of sad. And I'd hardly say their reaction speaks for a nation, personally I didn't have any negative take on it and I didn't hear that from others (I was 16).
