Little Britain - The Scottish hotel
Eccentric Scot Ray runs the Ye Olde Hotel in Scotland. Like most Scottish people, Ray's not easy to communicate with, but in his case it's because he's a bit mad. Living in some sort of fantasy medieval world, he's incapable of giving a straight answer to a straight question, preferring instead to express himself through the medium of dance.

New Zealand National Anthem sung by Benjamin McHugh at the
Telstra Stadium, Sydney on 13/08/2005.
E Ihoa Atua,
O nga Iwi matoura
Ata whaka rongona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa.
God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.
The All Blacks' Haka
L&P
Here is an old L&P commercial that was on TV for years. The words are as follows: It ain't famous for its Grand Prix; well, it ain't famous for its flashy department stores; man, it ain't famous for its stunning architecture; well, it's not famous for its cathedral; it ain't famous for its royal family; it ain't famous for its railway station; well, it ain't famous for its fine restaurants; but it is famous -- L&P, World Famous in New Zealand

Susan Boyle, the unlikely singing sensation
Susan Boyle, the singing church worker who starred on Britain's Got Talent, has now become a YouTube sensation!!! The clip of her audition has been viewed 2,485,245 times in 72 hours.
The 48 year old charity worker from West Lothian, announced from the stage that her dream was to emulate West End star Elaine Paige.
Her eccentric ways and less than polished appearance drew sniggers from the audience when she initially appeared but they were mesmerised from the moment she broke into song and gave her a standing ovation.
Simon Cowell pronounced her voice "extraordinary" and Amanda Holden was reduced to tears by hearing her sing.

Man about the house
Man About The House was a very popular British sitcom during the 70s. Its basic premise concerned a young male student sharing a flat with two girls - hardly a radical concept now, but something that was considered revolutionary and improper. The young man in question was Robin Tripp, a catering student from Southampton. His room-mates were Chrissy Plummer, with whom Robin wanted to be more than friends, and dizzy blonde Jo. The other main characters were their landlords, George and Mildred Roper. Whilst George was very uptight and disproving of the situation, Mildred was more relaxed.
Man About The House spawned two separate spin-offs - Robin's Nest, in which Robin started his own restaurant, and George and Mildred about the Ropers.
