Billy Mitchel sings this charming man
Did anyone see Eastenders on Christmas eve? It featured Billy Mitchel singing "I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stich to wear". Needless to say I was incredibly impressed. Mo Slater came in and said "you can say that again" or something along those lines.

How ironic that Billy Mitchel was singing about a charming man. Every sensible child will know what this means.

Morrissey mentioned on Sci Fi Channel's "Farscape"
Practically nobody in the world caught this (I only did by a freak twist of channel surfing), but in a brief moment on Sci Fi channel's "Farscape", an alien version of Edgar Winters crossed with Rip Torn seems to be interogating the protagonist with questions about the nature of time. He concludes by saying "Time is meaningless, and time is all there is." To my surprise (aside from my surprise that I was actually watching "Farscape") the protagonist replies, "How very Morrissey of you." Highly amusing!

Morrissey/Smiths Songs mentioned in German novel "Junge Talente"
André Kubiczek wrote a novel about an East German Youth in the eighties ("Junge Talente", Rowohlt Verlag Berlin, 2002, ISBN 3-87134-446-X), and among various song lines and titles are: "Some Girls are bigger than others", "Still Ill", "I was happy in the Haze of a drunken Hour but Heaven knows I'm miserable now", "The Rain falls hard on a humdrum Town this Town has dragged you down" (p. 147)
Also, the Chapter on p. 196 reads: Jeder Tag ist wie Sonntag - "Everyday is like Sunday"

The book is great and fun to read - no further Smiths/Morrissey-quotes, though.

  • In tonights episode of Eastenders there was yet another line thrown into the dialogue. When asked if he was going to the club, Spencer replied "I haven't got a stitch to wear!!" surely that's too blatant, even for Eastenders

  • Morrissey mentioned in Farscape!!?? Unheard of!! How funny is that??!!! I think I might actually start watching that show, which had appeared to me to be a bit on the dull side so far..I love it when they do that, it really brings even more ridicule to sci-fi concepts, and I'm not sneering (I watched Babylon 5 for ages when it was first aired), it's just funny though, isn't it?! (girly giggle) I guess I'm easily pleased..

  • the smiths should be given prominent airtime in the manchester soap, coronation street. though I think moz was more a fan of old skool corrie and watched eastenders when tiffany was in it.
