ouch. that was some timely sharking Mattb.
originally the band was called spice then the redtops subdivided them along the lines of which builders would like to shag first and the spice girls had been created. the band absorbed the publicity and the following week the spice girls were at number one. over to you.

As a man of the cloth, it is my duty to forgive you, my child.
Right, shall I be the first one to put my foot in it and say the Garden of Eden?

Yes, thats a classic error
There is no reporting that the tree in the garden of eden bore apples....its just a common misconception. It's a slightly obscure country though, and is in the middle east.

I wrote the book about obscure Middle Eastern countries...
Is it The Lebanon?

Why did i say the middle east.....i doubted that as soon as i wrote it. It's still obscure though, and is one of the 15 biggest nations in the world. It also borders 5 other nations, and is part of Europe and Eurasia.
My apologies again for that appalling geography!
