Was watching Orange Playlist the other night, Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters was on and it was great! That is if you can bear to watch a hugely talented individual being interviewed by a thick geordie.

While I was watching Mr Shears (not his real name one suspects) mentioned his love for David Bowie, this lead to a quick montage of Bowie moments, one of which bore the following subtitle.

Compass? Interesting concept, what happened there then? Was he concentrating on traveling North and ended up walking into something? Perhaps the magnetic field of the compass caused some kind of mutation? Or could it be that they’re just really fucking stupid and actually meant pair of compasses?

While we’re at it the phrase ‘enhanced by an unfortunate school accident’ makes no sense, for three reasons. Firstly it should read ‘unfortunate accident at school’ and secondly how can something be unfortunately enhanced, an enhancement suggests good fortune to me.

Finally the whole wonky eye business has been the basis of his look for his entire career, so it wasn’t that unfortunate anyway was it?

Former ‘glamour model’ Middlemiss clearly had a hand in this.
