I've just looked it up, it's spelt "Kazakhstan". I've spent the last day trying to remember "that big country between Ukraine and Mongolia".
Anyway, idley browsing Top of the Pops related stuff as the BBC have finally made it's demise official, I came across a few interesting Beatles facts:
Michael Jackson and Sony own most of the Beatles song publishing rights, but not all. Paul McCartney owns "Love Me Do", "Please Please Me", "P.S. I Love You" and "Ask Me Why". George Harrison's Harrisongs has things like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Something". But which two songs does Ringo Starr's Startling Music own?

Neither of those.
In fact, I'll give you one of them, because it's not as well known as the other: "Don't Pass Me By". One more to get!

Our friends from across the big blue atlantic still havent cottened onto the fact that football should not be called soccer cos thats a crap name for it
But where does the name soccer originate from?
