Mundane 5? Are there even five of them or is it a "clever-clever" name?

Aye, like The Thompson Twins ( ), The Chemical Brothers ( ) or The Sisters of ...

Equally there's only three people in Ben Folds Five, they're not all called James in James, some of The Waterboys are in fact girls and there's four people in, er, U2.

And nine millions bicycles in Beijing.

Is that a fact?

[Bartek]

Yes, if Katie Melua sung that, then it must be true. I believe in everything I read in newspaper or see and hear on television.

Yes, if Katie Melua sung that, then it must be true.

A quick check on Wikipedia (before anybody mistakes me for a fan) reveals she also says I Think Its Going To Rain Today.

Sorry Katie but the sun's out and the skies are clear where I am so, basically, CHECK YOUR FACTS!

You know Phil, you're such a pedantic person. Maybe that day when she wrote that song there was raining, or maybe, but that's long shot, rain it's a metaphor, a symbol, did you consider that Phil? Gosh, what a people you have to deal with, like Sie Germans - uptight, with lack of humor whatsoever.

There's 9 million bicycles in Old Peking
Mack the Finger's phones don't ring
You'd better bring the donuts if you want Patricia to sing
And I've slept with all the girls in Berlin.

four-and-twenty virgins
came down from Inverness
and when the party ended
there was four-and-twenty less

I'll let it go but mostly because she's a looker; the kind ofstudenty girl with posh parents but happy to mix it with plebs like me and drink snakebike. Probably not up for a quickie in the toilets, though. Maybe there's a song in that.
