Right then[edit]

I have made the article readable, but I draw the line at the following paragraph.

"The album was preceded by the single Sueperman's Big Sister intentionally spelt wrong so to avoid any copyright issues with DC Comics, the 7" release including an exclusive track 'You'll See Glimpses' while the 12" included the album's final track 'Fucking Ada', the single was Stiff Records' 100th Single and the label had the label for their very first Nick Lowe's Heart Of The City with those track names crossed out and the correct titles and artist (for Sueperman's Big Sister) written in as if by biro. Laughter was released the same month (November 1980), the album was not well received by critics and its sales were mediocre, the Soft As A Babies Bottom tour to support it however, was a sell-out success, regardless Stiff and Ian Dury parted ways afterwards and he signed a short-lived deal with Polydor Records without The Blockheads."

Unless someone pays me, or praise me in some way, I refuse to touch this kind of stuff. Wikipedia has lengthy, readable, and useless articles about trivial singles by one-hit-wonder American Idol graduates. On British subjects it has nothing of value. Laughter does not amount to a hill of beans, but this standard of English and logic reinforces my suspicion that Britain simply does not get the internet. What is it? The schools? The water? Or it is that British people have busy and active social lives, with no time for the internet? -Ashley Pomeroy 22:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
