Amended! ?

Well I think I found that out 5 or 6 years ago and of course thinking about it it is quite believable.

Yeah I think it's only relatively recent, like the last 10 years that it has been known.

Found out recently that ex-snooker professional Steve Davis is a big fan of prog rock, particularly the slightly more obscure bands of the genre, with 2,000 albums in his collection "of a prog nature".

"I never liked Yes, ELP or Genesis, the more 'acceptable' faces of the genre - nor am I into straight jazz. But mix the two, and prog-jazz works for me! The recipe is magical". - Steve Davis

Another one - in The Good Life, the neighbours are 'Tom and Jerry'! OK, I always knew those were their names, I didn't just find THAT out, but I never really thought of their names as being the same as the cat and mouse, if you see what I mean. But perhaps it was immediately obvious to every other viewer!

I can't believe, in these supposed more enlightened times, that the matter is even being discussed.

Also, of course, the original name of Simon & Garfunkel.

Yes. He came out in 2013.

And that's the only reason I'm surprised I'd never heard it mentioned - in all that time

And no Billy I'm not homophobic and I couldn't care less if he's gay , straight or bi - you shit stirrer

On Twitter I was referred to as being a cis man. (it was said as an insult)
I keep hearing these words CIS and TERF without a clue what they mean - so I looked them up.

So.. a cis man is a man that identifies as a man. It's so ridiculous that it is funny.

As Frank would say "Hmmm, I'm a married man"

I can't believe he's Scottish.

I can't believe it's not butter.

In the Great Recoinage of 1816, the guinea was demonetised and the word "guinea" became a colloquial or specialised term. Although the coin itself no longer circulated, the term guinea survived as a unit of account in some fields. Notable usages included professional fees (medical, legal, etc.), which were often invoiced in guineas, and horse racing and greyhound racing,[2] and the sale of rams. In each case a guinea meant an amount of one pound and one shilling (21 shillings, £1.05 in decimal notation)

Bernard Cribbins played a villain in a Hitchcock film.
