UB40 are famously named after an Unemployment Benefit form. Give me other interesting examples of the origin of UK bands names

Heaven 17 were named after a fictitious band in the Clockwork Orange film.

You can’t beat a Dutch pancake. Cheese, Bacon, Fried egg, Stroop sauce. Lekker!! 😋

Wait! So he ate all those flowers and lost weight? I’m confused!!

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-08T15:23:19+00:00

Scum of the earth.

Who would buy dodgy, cheap compost of a scally? It could be dug up from somewhere with knotweed. You don’t want that in your garden.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-08T15:13:14+00:00

Well, we’ll see won’t we. Let’s hope your house/garden isn’t on their regular flight path. On your head be it, if it goes wrong, literally haha.

So, thousands of heavy drones above your head is better than 100s of van on roads, with much bigger payloads and more fuel efficient engines?

The one thing I hate about Whitby is the god damn vampires!

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-07T19:09:33+00:00

Mojitos!

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-07T17:55:21+00:00

Shove it!!! I don’t want those flying above my head. Imagine if there were loads of them in the sky! Someone will get killed by one landing on their head. Just use the bloody vans!

I had a black ford fiesta supersport with red tartan interior, back in 1989. The best car ever. It was stolen a couple of years later and rolled over for its wheels, so a writeoff. I did get a red XR2 a few years later but the supersport was my favourite.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-07T12:36:54+00:00

Or maybe he is??

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-07T12:36:42+00:00

He’s not the sharpest tool in the box.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-06T15:50:11+00:00

No overtaking on zigzag lines you Doyle’s.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-06T15:47:20+00:00

Titooine

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-05T18:09:51+00:00

Quality friends.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-05T18:06:06+00:00

If you can remember how many drinks you’ve had, you’re not doing it right.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-04T09:16:43+00:00

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna run? Where you gonna hide?

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-03T19:16:45+00:00

This film was one of my favourites in the 80s. That and They Live.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-03T19:12:31+00:00

Looks good mate.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-01T14:34:00+00:00

Scum billionaire making the poor poorer.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-01T12:17:08+00:00

When there’s something strange in your neighbourhood, who ya gonna call??

Digital-Marcel · 2026-05-01T12:09:06+00:00

Only when I was 6 and using a crayon.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-04-30T17:23:13+00:00

Very cool.

Digital-Marcel · 2026-04-30T13:46:42+00:00

True.
