Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?

t bounces around on perfectly solid ground

AFAIK, only Jeff and Anthony were part of The Cockroaches, which would make them half of The Wiggles, not three quarters. I refuse to blame the other half, Murray and Greg, for insufferable cuteness that they didn't even take part in. I further refuse to diminish their contribution to The Wiggles by implying that Jeff and Anthony can obtain optimal Wiggletude without their brightly coloured bandmates.

Now Megan and I are going to go dance like big uncos to a Christmas album by a certain much discussed band.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I now own a Wombles videotape. I always thought of them as British Banana Splits. Of course, I had their LP already since I needed it for the book. Mike Batt did The Wombles music and wore a womble suit for an entire week to get into character.

The Wiggles are a regular presence on the Disney Channel now and Emmett likes them a lot. Their songs are pretty catchy, but the one without eyebrows is a little freaky looking.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Ah, videotape? They're much odder than the banana splits - they were early eco-warriors (and have given their name to one of the main #Reclaim The Streets crews) . You'll love them, David - and if you do, I recommend the equally brilliant Flumps.

I find it slightly disturbing that I now know the first names of all four Wiggles. This doesn't do much for my 'I know nothing about pop culture' street-cred. And doesn't exactly help me get 'I know about pop culture' credit either.

Am-Chau, I think you'll be ok, as long as you can't tell me which colour skivvy each Wiggle wears. If you know that, then I'm sorry, your street-cred card will have to be cut up. t waves scissors in a vaguely menacing fashion, sure in the knowledge that I won't have to use them but admiring the shiny

I'm blaming Hec for my current Wombles earworm, by the way.

I think I'm out of danger as long as I remain ignorant of what a 'skivvy' is.
