Misheard Lyrics

Thursdays website review was all about "misheard lyrics". Check out www.kissthisguy.com . It is nothing to do with smooching and is in fact the site gets its name from the often misheard lyric in Jimi Hendrix hit “Purple Haze” when he sings “Scuse me while I kiss the sky” – which is often misheard as “Scuse me while I kiss this guy”. You can read up on a whole host of other misheard lyrics at this site, some of which are highly amusing.

A Pictoral History

A little history now, but not the classroom type - this is a pictorial history of working life in Britain.

Workinglife.org.uk is a charming site - and although not very sophisticated, it does seem to capture what life was like in 20th Century Britain. The pictures date back to the early 1900s, but many of them are from the 60s and 70s when industrial businesses were booming.

Browsing these pages is a fascinating walk back through time into the lives of the people who built the British economy - rail workers, miners, fishermen and factory girls.

Click a link on the left and then open the thumbnails to full size by clicking them. Each section has a little blurb beside it to add to the atmosphere.

Where are they now?????

Have you ever wondered what happened to certain minor and major celebrities of a few years ago? The ones who seemed to disappear off the face of the planet, like Macauly Culkin from Home Alone, and the men from Miami Vice?

Stop wondering and get yourself along to www.thebubbleburst.co.uk. It is not a particularly sophisticated website, and many of the fallen stars are from the UK, but it is the curiosity factor that caught my interest here, and the overwhelming attraction of a nice bit of gossip.

There are certainly a few international stars that you are bound to have heard of at some point. You can browse the content by category, era, or just take a look at the latest additions and updates. Try taking a look at the cast of The Breakfast Club. A hugely successful movie - even today - but where are these fresh-faced teen stars now? Well some have been doing OK, while others vanished into obscurity, apart from appearing on this website that is.
