Its most famous use was in the Sun in the early 1980s when football manager Brian Clough was attacked by Nottingham Forest fans and started fighting; two pictures of fans attacking him and him hitting back were captioned "Fans hit the shit" and "Shit hits the fans". Completely unrelated thing; I am currently compiling a list for "Positive Vibrations" of weird things which fans have given to Robyn as presents; if anyone has any stories could they let me or Aidan know?

To: fegmaniax@ns2.rutgers.edu Years ago I had some solo 45s by Kimberly Rew. One was called "Stomping All Over the World" and I forget the title of the other one. I do remember that they had members of the dB's playing on them. If anyone has the Kimberly album "Bible of Bop" could you tell me if the dB's play on the rest of the tracks. Any details of the sessions would be appreciated. Also, did the Soft Boys and dB's play any gigs together?

Marks Esq. mellotronned: >Help me figure out what they're saying on this line in the chorus of >Duke of Squeeze (Portland Arms) > >And we sang [fow de drap??] This is basically nonsense language. I think "fol de drat" might be a better phonetic transcription. Since the song is a spoof of an "olde englishe" (sic) folk song, the expression "fol-de-rol" comes to mind (well, to my mind, anyway)(darned if I know what it means, though--if anything). "Drat" is a well known expletive (mild) such as you might say when you've just sealed an envelope and suddenly realize you forgot to enclose the letter--though of course too mild for such occasions as hitting your thumb with a hammer (unless your grandmother happened to be present). The combination of these idioms results in the chuckleworthy phrase you mention. I trust you find this valuable information of assistance in your scholastic endeavors. the bellman __________________________________________________ "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would you have appeared to them to be otherwise" -Lewis Carroll ------------------------------ From: "Winkworth, Nick SJ" To: Vyrna Knowl Cc: Terry Marks Subject: RE: That Poll Date: Thu, 16 Nov 95 18:42:00 PST Most interesting to me was the fact that (apart from REM) so few artists got more than a couple of votes.
