Jay Z is a person? I thought it was like Cillit Bang.

I read that as Double dogging and was about to ask you loads of questions ... you can imagine my disappointment now i've re-read it tried double dogging, can't say I enjoyed being in the middle much

What world are you living in??? You don't know who Jamie Foxx (one of the biggest actors in the world) or Ed Sheeran (one of the biggest pop stars in the world) are? I genuinely can't believe that, you live in Barry not lands end! Well, it is genuinely true. Really not PFE. Of the 5 films quoted that Jamie Foxx did I have only seen one and I didn't pay any attention to who was in it. I bought it in Morrisons for a fiver when I was staying away in a hotel and had done all the shuffle one cock could take. I watched it because it was a tarantino film. I've just googled him and I am actually quite surprised, he's done over 30 films. But again, I've only seen one of them. I'm not trying to claim I'm an intellectual or have better taste than anyone , I'm not and I don't. But I've never seen 'Booty Call', or 'Spider Man 2'. I don't listen to modern R&B and whilst I can now see he has won awards for 'best ringtone' and best hip hop collaboration you have to believe me when I say I don't download ringtones and hip hop after the Beastie Boys is a bit of a blind spot for me. If it's not stuff you are interested in, then it just floats by without being retained. Ask me a question on Primal Scream, lambretta, Aston Villa, double digging, wishbone suspension, Architecture etc and I'll give it a good go. In my job, I need to know all the current trends in architecture and physical retail space and what's 'fashionable'. If I didn't know who Jeanneret-Gris was I'd look like a fool. Everyone in every practise in every country knows his work. He is as famous as it gets. There are books, films, documentaries, posters. He is an industry on his own. How many people in the X Factor queue would know him if asked? Just a different world. It's just different sub sets and sub cultures. It's not being clever, far from it.

Spot on, and I think most of it is bollocks posted for effect. Unless people genuinely haven't turned on the TV, read a newspaper, been in a taxi/shop with the radio on, spoken to any kids etc, then how genuinely can you not have heard of him? Obviously the Moon Man lives in his 60s cave with his Dansette, so that's OK, but everybody else....c'mon. yep, you've sussed out the hipsters There's really only one way to live your life and that's watching yoof programming on the telly and listening to pop radio whilst reading the celeb news in the Daily Star sat in the back of a taxi. Personally, I haven't used a taxi in this country in about 10 years, if I read a newspaper it'll be the Independent, if I watch the telly it won't be a programme with pop music on it. Believe it or not I don't listen to radio 1 or follow Graham Norton on twitter. I have two kids - I have a house full of drums and guitars and a piano - I had heard the name Ed Sheeran but not knowingly listened to his music. I don't believe I'd heard the name Jamie Foxx - my guess on him was that he was Jamie XX that worked on the last Gil Scott Heron album. You are familiar with all of GSH's and XX's work I'm sure? Incredibly famous. Different strokes for different folks innit. This might be why I wouldn't do very well on a Saturday night TV quiz show.

I've seen one of those five! Django. Perhaps I need to broaden my interests, I've got sort of stuck in what I know, VW Beetles, fairly obscure reggae and masturbation. Best day of my life, I was sat in the back of a 1303 listening to the Heptones.

ha ha! I have never heard of Jamie Foxx. I guess it just shows there are lots of people in the world and we all presume our own little universe we have created is the main one. American sports, that's another blind spot for me (this is where you tell me Jamie Foxx has owned all basket ball since 1987). I guess it's only right that 'the kids' have a world I know nothing about. Oh, and computer games and films based on comic books. The alternatives would be awful, either da kids blindly following the previous generation, or me in my dotage with Nikes on my feet and wrapper music on my walkman.

Genuinely didn't know all that about Ed Sheeran, best of luck to him. I almost don't dare ask this....is he a product of a TV talent show? There's another world I know nothing of. I don't watch much telly, but I have never ever seen a single episode of X factor or the one with Ant and Dec. I don't even know the format of these programmes other than in the early rounds they just laugh at nutters. I have been in the room whilst The Voice has been on and watched bits over the top of my laptop. Anyway, if ever he plays the bar stage on a week night in Clwb Ifor Bach I'll try and give him a listen. Is there a route any more from club circuit to world domination? Or do you just have to get lucky on a tv programme?

It was who I thought it was - Seat has already said it all, just the current inoffensive offensive pop product - which isn't automatically a bad thing, just maybe not for me. Is he really incredibly famous? Or is he pushed relentlessly on Chorley FM and ITV? Because he can have his own ITV channel and a 6 hour daily radio 1 show if he likes, that won't register at all with the vast majority of the population.

this is totally genuine now, this isn't put on - I'm going to have to youtube this Ed Sheeran chap I've definitely heard the name, and if its the one I think it is, he has gingerish hair and a guitar? absolutely no inkling of an idea what music he does though, not played in this house and the kids don't have his CD in the cars ......I'm going in....

I just don't understand the £60 stadium gig experience, regardless of the artist. Being a mile away from U2 / Rolling Stones / The Tweenies / Ed Sheeran whilst some clearing in the woods with glitter paint on their face bounces a huge inflatable earth around the crowd. Worst concert I ever attended was a free ticket with free transport and free drinks, but I had to sit side on, at the back of the hall 'watching' INXS or a large video screen of them anyway, at the NEC. Eeuurrgghhh

Nearly picked him too, he was on the wish list tsk tsk

Finally bought new headphones today, they appear to be perfectly fine for the top class ear honey that I listen to. I doubt these ones will last 30 years like the last pair, but we'll see. Got them in TK Maxx of all places, I thought they only did picture frames and thin tee shirts with penguin logo's on for £30.

Was it by any chance an asian guy asking to deposit £2,500,000 in your account and all he needed was your details?

caveat: if you go out drinking with your mates and spot a small white china vase of real flowers - do not presume your missus will appreciate the gesture of flowers as we left the place I discreetly lifted the little bud vase and tucked it in my shirt turns out they were real flowers, in actual water, the stupid club owning bastards by the time she arrives to pick me up and take me home the vase water has poured down my shirt and pants like I've had the worlds highest self pissing incident, and all the petals are stuck to my stomach so she gets presented with a stolen vase of stalks and I'd thought that night was a guaranteed happy ending

Which governing political party is going to outlaw (sizeable) donations? plus, I guess the alternative is we find something we can cut in public service so we can fund them out of our taxes perhaps they should get a cut of the idiot tax instead of giving it to sport?

Have a pop at the mother?

one for Rugeley, doesn't really get going for 2 minutes.... possibly the best alien themed song of the 1990's by a white south wales rap band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na3EUbEFN1s

Clearly a fake. The money received for these listings will be funnelled through to Boko Harem still raising funds for a follow up to Whiter Shade of Pale

come on I'm not falling for that, it absolutely has to be a fake for a start he hasn't mentioned improving the weather by stopping gays doing bum sex

is it ok to 'like' toilet stories? what's the etiquette there? anyway, my variation, which is a variation on a theme I organised a college party and was very nervous that it be a success. So nervous I went for a pre party pint, fell in with a bunch of random builders I didn't know and drank like a lunatic for about an hour or so. But in that time I was drinking pints and chasers as fast as I could. The upshot of which, I was paraletic drunk before the evening had really begun. For some reason I decided being seen that drunk that early and needing to puke really really needing to puke, would be uncool. So obviously, I jumped in a taxi to get home and be ill in private. By the time the taxi gets to my house I'm properly struggling to hold it all in. Chuck money at the cabbie, bound up the steps, key in door, leap up the stairs and kick open the bathroom door at the same time as projectile vomitting in the general direction of the toilet. My mum was on the loo.

ha! It's another variation on that theme from the other day discussing Jam albums. The stuff I like I have multiple copies of, I have Japanese imports, German pressings. A Canadian album with same tracks in a different order, I've got the translucent yellow floppy disc, free with a magazine of 'Pop Art Poem', possibly my prized possession it took me years to find. But 'Setting Sons' meh, there's better stuff out there so I don't have a copy. It does drive some people nuts.
