Tell me your rubbish and meaningless links with the famous.

I used to hang about in town with some of the members of InMe
before they got famous and disowned all their old friends for not being cool enough.
( Shegetz Chris Kamara's comedy moustache, Mon 5 Nov 2007, 0:11, archived)

I've never heard of them.

( Bob Todd whee, Mon 5 Nov 2007, 0:12, archived)

They were famous for about eight seconds
and subsequently came back and discovered nobody liked them anymore because they'd been cunts. Ha.

They describe themselves as Essex Schmucks on the live album
Seems like this is accurate. The guy's voice is beginning to annoy me.
( zoldergoose, Mon 5 Nov 2007, 0:14, archived)

I've never knowingly listened to any of their music.
Never out of any sort of grudge, but more general disinterest.

Sugarcoma were another famous-for-four-seconds band that I knew members of by association.
They were shit as well.

Every InMe song's the same really
I was round a friend's house listening to their new album the other day, but it was only when she asked if I was going to get it myself that I realised it was new.
( zoldergoose, Mon 5 Nov 2007, 0:18, archived)

I heard that one where... erm...
I remember the video being set in a destroyed building somewhere. No idea what song it was. Some of the exterior shots of one of the Sugarcoma videos was shot at the sewage plant near me. Classy.

Michel Ancel = creator of Rayman
CoLD SToRAGE = man behind the Music series on the PSone, and he wrote most of the WipEout and Krazy Ivan soundtracks. He did the music for Sensible Soccer too.
( Bob Todd whee, Mon 5 Nov 2007, 0:16, archived)

I liked the WipEout soundtrack
I preferred WipEout 2097's one though - Future Sound of London FTW.

The word 'penis' is implied in a sentence of that structure.
Note that the word 'penis' in the above example is context specific; it isn't a catch-all for all such sentences, e.g. "My hat is the same size as Judy Dench's".

The old chestnut of once interviewing Douglas Adams
