from a Goan friend of mine that alot of Goan indians are Portugese,sorry if i appear dim but that really surprised me,his sirname is Fernandez and i didnt know that Goa was once a Portugese nation,and alot of the older folk still have dual Indian,Portugese passports,in any case it sounds a great country,but a poor one hence alot of Goans working away from home.

[axs]

i know many goans, all great people, and all very portuguese in heritage.

Which is why in Swindon all the Goan kids go to St Joe's.

I don't think it's any sort of ridiculously unknown trivia. If you want to start a thread everytime you're ignorant about something then fair enough, but I'd imagine that if everybody on here did, then the forum would get bogged down pretty quickly.

On the ignorant knowledge front, I didn't know or care that numerous films I've seen were based on books, there's always been lot's of songs which were covers that I didn't know. Normally if it's good knowledge then I tell every body as much as I can. Like Gloria Jones and Tainted Love.

Sort of required tubing really because it's one of my favourite songs.



And in my defence it was never that much of a song I was bothered about until I heard the original.

[flammableBen]

Also one of my favourite songs is Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, etc.

Here's what they sampled - . Good tune.

[flammableBen]

Oh and I actually do like Kanye West's effort over the Daft Punk effort. That's also a top tune, took me a while to not hate it though.

[leefer]

And you do most of the bogging down eh Ben!....no need to get personal mate,unknown trivia it may not be to you but then i didnt know that Kanye Wests effort was one of those tunes that takes a while to get used to....talking of ridiculous unknown trivia eh,.....also while ime having a tiz.....Daft Punk are shit,actually come to think of it so is Kanye West....but have to agree that tainted love by anybody is a great song...not bog standard!

Neville > Reg

I like to leave these open goals hanging around for Nev to score, probabaly the only chance he gets.  Does Nev come form the same place as that fella who scored for Fulham on Saturday?

Where ?  McBrideshire ?

I'd admit, I'm not as prolific as I once was, but thanks for the vote of confidence Fred !

 McBrideshire sounds horribly Scottish...whereas Nevland, has a certain Viking timbre.  (no puns about the French trying to stamp it out, ta)

[JOHNNY REEVES]

sounds like danzil to me.

I drank too much white ace last night
