    'Tisn't. Also, it's not the lyrics that caused the rumour (Well, not most of them), which would be a more believable rumour. It was that "squinting" like Japanese person is the same face you make when you are about to ejaculate.. :D

    Daftest rumour i ever heard.

    Never realised that the Roches Stores logo was an R. Always looked like a squiggle.http://eurografx.com/sitebuilder/images/RochesStoresLogoPhilipO-249x74.png

    Also never realised the first symbol in the Disney logo was a D. I still have to force myself to see it!

    I though that the signs at islandbridge were pop art no tie-fighter signs put there by some unknown awesome person, Then one day I copped it was no 5 axle trucks and a bit of me died inside.

    Phew! Brother in law is home from London and he mentioned it when he asked did I take a dash of red in my whiskey. Then he went on to state the above. He lives in Kensington? He's passed out now, I'll ask him later! :pac:

    A few years back there were shootings in Mumbai, all over the news
    And I hear about Mumbai now and again, mainly something to do with businesss stories

    Never put any thought about where in India it was

    Then I learn it's the new name for Bombay, when did that happen? :eek:

    I went to school in the nineties, we always said Bombay

    Feeling old :(
