Driving Miss Tickle is widely credited with being the inspiration behind JG Ballard's Crash. Both films feature a large number of RTAs; in the former because Miss Tickle can't stop tickling her chauffeur. JG Ballard develops an altogether more adult theme for his short novel.

In Mr Topsy-Turvey the Mr men and little Miss Characters sing a collection of songs by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

They call me Mr Bump was the first blaxploitation movie to star Michael Crawford.

Reservoir Mister Men featured the now-famous scene where Mr Tickle tickles the ear off his prisoner.

I see that Tom Cruise is set to take on the title role of Mr Impossible.

[BtD] Three Little Misses from school is one of the better known ones, although they looked rather odd in traditional Japanese dress, on account of their having no necks.

I never got where Pretty Little Miss Polly fitted into it, though.

Misters Sneeze, Clever, Slow, Grumble, Happy, Silly and Lazy have signed up as cast for Snow White and the Seven Mr. Men but they're still looking for a lead actress. Rumours are that Britney Spears is looking for a challenging role.

I used to be a photographer but then I snapped.

I started work as Father Christmas after they gave me the sack.

I was going to become a member of a carpentry club, but I decided not to join.

</lie>[Dunx re: Reservoir Mister Men] That is a truly astonishing idea -- I may be forced to steal it from you.

[Dunx/Riff] I was.

The least known Roger Hargreaves character is Mr Fart.

George Bush is a failed Mr Man.

[AP] He couldn't spell it.

< l i e>Hargreaves has recently had to fight to get a controversial contemporary new book published called Little Mr Miss - the publishers felt it was a little too much information for children, and bought Madonna's book instead.

Each morning I am rudely awakened by the frantic Boom tish, Boom tish of our local one man band being chased up the street by the neighbours dog

I used to be a one man band but I split up after my legs decided on a solo career.

Why are my bed springs so rusty?

I used to work in an optitians but I got thrown out for making a spectacle of myself.

[bl] I didn't completely lose it on reading your last.

[Wol] Very dull image isn't it?
Once I dreamt I was a butterfly, then I awoke and now I don't know if I'm a man who dreamt he was a butterfly, or if there's a natural reason for me to be fluttering about in midair like this.

I used to dream that I was flying in an old open biplane, but I fell out of that one.

Rudolph the reindeer had a very shiny gnome.

If you ever saw it, you'd swear it was inebriated.

We now know that Rudolph's red nose was a result of a condition brought on by alcohol abuse. Rudolph was so lonely, being cut out of all those reindeer games, that he hit the bottle, and hard. Happily, his chance to lead the sleigh in the snow gave him a new lease on life. He later joined a twelve-step program and is in his fiftieth year of sobriety. His nose is now bloated, but a pinkish grey.

In an attempt to make Dickens more accessible to the modern youth, all editions of A Christmas Carol are being reprinted with Scrooge's famous words altered to "**** that for a game of soldiers".

I love Paris in the the springtime.

Scientists sifting the rubble of a desert hillside in Ethiopia have discovered a trove of crab shells 2 1/2 million years old that may reveal the first direct link between shrimps and the earliest members of our true human lineage.
This new found crustacean species, still far more lobster than human, could include the very first beings on Earth to use sellotape. That technology marked a major turning point on the long evolutionary path toward modern Homo sapiens, the scientists say.

nuuuuuh sp= sellotape *goes to bed*

Just because it's just before three in the morning is not a valid excuse for going to bed - regardless as to what may have occurred within the last twenty four hours.

"Nuuuuuh" is the highest possible scoring word in the Turkish version of Scrabble, with a total of 540.5 points, but it's only possible to play it once every 10 years, dependent on the phases of the moon.
