Gallows humour

For some reason a couple of people were doing impersonations of Hutch in the staff room this lunchtime. It occurs to me that this might be a reason why our categories for pop & rock CDs are:

• Pop Group
• Pop Instrumental
• Pop Singer

(If you insist on pretending you're too young to remember him, have a look at http://www.tales.ndirect.co.uk/HUTCH2.HTML but do remember to come back.)

Somebody tells me a story: T. Aldous is packing his car in Tesco's car park when he spots an old lady struggling with a pile of carrier bags.

"Can you manage?"

He shouts. She turns to him in scorn and replies:

"Sod off. You made the mess you can sort it out."
