Fifty years ago today. Still a classic album.
One of the very best.

Dalai Lama: Hello Fish, they tell me I should see this film you recommend. In USA they call it "Show Me Love"' What do they call it in Swedish?

Fish: Errr, err, "Fucking Amal"' your Holiness

Dalai Lama: Oh thank you Fish, I will remember that. When I visit Sweden I will say "Fucking Amal. I am so fucking pleased to see you all"

Fish: Err, yeh right cobber. You got a bamboo stick there to stir me G&T with?

Boys who wore skirts to school in a protest have won the right to wear shorts to lessons from next year.
The boys from Exeter's ISCA Academy had been told shorts were banned because they were not part of the uniform

Now that's some epic trolling.

Bloody little revolutionaries.
Ya gotta love 'em!

"Is there a rule about boys wearing skirts, Sir?"
