I thought The Stereotypes were Welsh ?

Conrad Stanislavski did not trouble the Rap Charts until he changed his name to Method Man.

Scouser Ian MacNab was working at a Winter Wonderland on the Wirrall prior to his musical career back in the 70's. Although there was fake snow, the reindeers were real and one deposited a huge pile near the entrance to Santa's Grotto. Tasked with removing this quickly, and the shovel being deployed elsewhere, he grabbed a large thick polystyrene icicle and successfully removed the dung. Turning to one of the dwarves, he commented, "Well, the Icicle Works". The rest, as they say, is history.

As Rock Stars get older they move into other associated fields. Ronnie Wood paints, Rick Wakeman and Ringo have become grumpy old men and Bob Geldof and Bono have gone into politics. Keef has taken to manufacturing snuff. In the USA some of their iconic Bands have diversified too. The Isley Brothers opened up a chain of Opticians who are doing very well, however not so Def Jam. Their trolley carts in Shopping Malls selling Hearing Aids and a range of Chutneys and Fruit Spreads is proving too confusing for the sophisticated US consumer.

Bluesman Walter Trout is a frequent guest of both the past and current SNP leadership.

Dr Hook and the Medicine Show have been struck off the BMA Register and will no longer be allowed to practice. Patients complained of eye tests being only partially completed with lenses being dropped onto the floor. Singer Ray Sawyer commented, "If we aren't allowed to practice, I guess we'll just have to jam all the songs"

"Oh, we're going to Barbados " Band Typically Topical are guest editing Radio 4's Today programme the first week in January 2015.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has cancelled Dr and the Medic's sabbatical and scrapped their current Tour. He commented, "Given the increase in waiting times in A&E's around the country, it is vital all trained staff are fully deployed. The NHS is safe with this Government".

Funksters "Brass Construction" are calling it a day. Band Bassist Wade Williamston explained " When we started out Copper and Zinc were relatively affordable, but now spiralling commodity prices have made it uneconomical to continue". However the falling price of oil has meant that Plastic Bertrand will be adding to their line-up and touring again.

Slightly OT I know but "People selling stuff that they do not own"...isn't that how the Bankers and Financial Sector operate worldwide?

US Hip-Hoppers "The Black Eyed P and Q's" were on a downward spiral due to their polite nature: the US public did not feel they were "ghetto" enough. Then they dropped the "Q's", William added punctuation to his name, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Thanks for that, just need to find a bucket now...!

Title says it all, I cannot fathom a way that works. I'm sure it is very simple....? Help anyone?

Rave-fave Keith Flint showed no interest in music growing up although he did have a Scouts Badge for laying and lighting fires.

Despite eating the eponymous superfood from birth, "After Midnight" Singer J J Kale died last year aged 74.

Given the critical mauling that this thread has recently endured, today's fact is more reflective and philosophical. As Luther Vandross sang, "A house is not a home", yet I find the addition of a small practise combo helps me turn one to the other. Indeed, looking at the components of a house in more detail, I find walls contradictory. Take Phil Spector's famous "Wall of Sound". It was made up of layers of multi-tracked instruments and voices, yet it won't support the weight of slates,roof beams or trusses. Ironically Phil is currently closely surrounded by 2 different types of walls as he spends time in custody. The physical walls are those of a prison hospital ward and he has now lost the ability to speak too. The wall of silence he endures also afflicts Adele, who has not sung live for 3 years. Be it a "Wall of Sound", or a wall of silence, neither can offer the ultimate support.

Nah, that doesn't look genuine and I bet it weighs a ton....

[u]IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT[/u] Many of you will know me as a Pro Bassist who uses a stand, but I'm also an A&E Consultant, UKIP New Policy Advisor and Shelf-stacker at Lidl ( well I say shelf-stacker but what I do is empty a box of plastic garden clogs into one of those wire cages, whilst swigging on a can of Red Cow look-a-like Energy Drink. Then I like to carefully undo the cable ties on the clogs and mix up the sizes, say I mix a 45 with a 44 so that people only notice when they get home and have to come back again to change them! I also crush my can up and put it in the bottom of the bin, that seems to discourage shoppers delving deep down too! Anyway, I've just got myself a Handruid Phone and it occurred to me, this thread could become an "ap"! So look out for more exciting news as we get closer to Christmas.

Strictly Finalist and "Mamma Do" Pop icon Pixie Lott has a theory for her surprise departure from the BBC 1 Saturday Night stalwart show. Pixie explained exclusively to Basschat, " Yeah, well, me old fella Wyn and me bruvver Lance went darn Chigwell on that Black Friday and got a cheap widescreen from Asdas. Mind they add to wrestle it off some old granny! Anyways, cos they were so cheap Lots of the Pixels were damaged on the screens so when I went through my routine at home I couldn't see the moves properly. So come the performance, I wasn't quite on the ball. Yeah, me I'm gutted, can you pass me me fags?"

Following Bassist "Fusion Proglide" throwing a strop at Rocky Sharpe, Rocky Sharpe and the Razors have broken up. Guitarist "Hydro 5" and Drummer "Mach 3" were phlegmatic saying, "We used to be leading edge, now we are bleeding edge". There is talk however of female guitarist "Venus", drummer "Quattro for Women" and bassist "Intuition" joining Rocky in the not too distant future for a post modern look and sound.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1418737311' post='2632807'] Mr Loaf drew inspiration for his magnum opus from footballer Demba Ba, who, in the days before he earned Premier-League wages, used to sell tickets at inflated prices at venues around the Humber estuary. These activities earned him the nickname of Ba, tout of Hull. [/quote] Ah yes, Demba Bah, the player Honest Arry managed to tell the world had a get out clause of £7m...Demba spent many of his formative years in Ilkley Moor before movin to East Yorks.

In shock news, "Mysterious Girl" Singer Peter Andre has stepped down from the Iceland Christmas Ad campaign. Speaking exclusively to Basschat, Andre confided" It's bad enough me, a No1 in New Zealand, No 8 in Australia and No 2 in UK Star has to walk around Iceland with a trolley smiling at random shoppers whilst pretending to buy a 3 Bird Roast, now they want me to endorse their new "5 a Day" range. Iceland decided following the success of the 3 Bird Roast, they'd do the same for fruit and vegetables: so a cauliflower, is stuffed with a cabbage, then an onion, a sprout and then a pea, and on the fruit front its a grapefruit, stuffed with an orange, a lemon, a lime and a grape. They look like 'effin phalluses, no-one is going to want to eat them! So I'm off, there must be a vacancy on the Bisto ad by now?" William Hill have confirmed that Bjork is now a strong front-runner for the gig.
