It's Theseus' Paradox and I'm going to get ripped for this, especially considering the conversation I had with foot-loose last night, but what the hell. It reminds me of the Trigger's broom when he gets a medal:

Rodney: So what exactly is the award for?
Trigger: It's for saving the council money. I happened to mention to her one day that I've had the same broom for the last twenty years. She was very impressed and said have a medal. Twenty years. That's a long time, Dave.
Rodney: Yeah - well, it's two decades ain't it?
Trigger: Well I wouldn't go that far, but it's a long time.
Del: If you've had that broom for 20 years have you ever actually swept any roads with it?
Trigger: Of course I have! But I look after it well. We have an old saying that's been handed down by generations of road sweepers: 'Look after your broom...'
Rodney: ...and your broom will look after you.
Trigger: No Dave. It's just: 'Look after your broom'.
Rodney: Oh, that old saying!
Trigger: Yeah. And that's what I've done. Maintained it over the years. This old broom has had seventeen new heads and fourteen new handles.
Sid: Well, how the hell can it be the same bloody broom then?
Trigger: Well, there's a photo of it! What more proof do you need?

The disturbing thing is that I have the distinct feeling Topher typed all that from memory.....

Yeah, but I may not have got it word for word.

My point to Topher was that there is so much more comedy out there than Only Fools and Horses (and some would argue a lot better...). He needs to widen his horizons.

I'd agree with all of that - Only Fools was never a favourite of mine.

I could probably tell you which bits are wrong though... I'm not helping my cause, am I?

I know this (I would argue not better) and I love loads of old comedies, but Fools is the Holy Grail of comedy as far as I'm concerned.

Shut the * up.

I remember years ago reading an interview with Neil Tenant in which he said that he was considering a plan to continue the Pet Shop Boys but replace Chris and himself with different people, ie, they'd still be called the Pet Shop Boys but it could be two women, or the next year two 16 yr old boys, etc. I'm not sure why I remember that, but I'm convinced the plan has come to fruition with the Sugababes, either intentionally or unintentionally.

I like their new(ish) single and I love 'Freak Like Me', even tho I do realise that was a cover. So no, i wouldn't say they were rubbish, more like variable, probably according to who writes the songs...

I have never undestood why they (and it seems to be regardless of who is in the band at the time) seem to think its ok to sing flat all the time. I'm assuming its deliberate anyway.

Were they ever part of the music world?

I didn't mind the Sugababes to be honest, their earlier songs (when Siobhan (? & sp?) was there) was their better stuff in my opinion.

Doesn't make a huge a difference to the music world in my opinion.
