William the Conqueror died on this day 936 years ago, aged 59. - William is also sometimes referred to as "William the Bastard" due to the fact that he was born out of wedlock- his mother Herleva was a mistress of his father Robert, who was the Duke of Normandy. Despite his illegitimate status, he managed to succeed his father as the duke thanks to the support of his great-uncle (who was an archbishop) and King Henry I of France (where he lived). - William was nearly ousted from his position when he was 18- continued attempts to do so were made until 1060. - William is best known for his invasion of England in 1066, as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry- this led to the end of the Anglo-Saxon kings, and began the Norman dynasty of England, which lasted until 1135. - Despite his takeover, William would usually stay in Normandy from 1072 onwards. He would still take residence in England for months on end, however. - In 1085, William ordered a census to be taken in order for him to properly tax landowners- this was compiled into the Domesday Book, which listed over 250,000 heads of households. - During the summer of 1087, William led an incursion into Mantes, but soon either got sick or was injured by falling from his horse and got an infection from his wounds. Immediately after his death, those who tended to him stole the clothes and jewels off of his body. During his interment, his bloated corpse did not fit into his sarcophagus, and his innards ruptured when his body was forced in (a similar thing occurred during the funeral of Henry VIII in 1547).

See, I'm past that stage. I'm at uni, with my first serious girlfriend, having the time of my life. Wasn't big on contemporary music growing up, preferred older stuff, dabbled a little in my teens but I've never listened to Radio 1 as much as when I was with her, so lots of these capture that moment in time...

I lived in London during that time so a lot are familiar to me from the cabs and clubs. Lots to upvote, lots to downvote. Kid Rock: I always hated and I still hear and wish it was Warren Zevon instead.

I'll vote in the morning but I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this list. Sure, there's plenty of shit on it, but this is a complete nostalgia fest! I know most of these without even having to think about it and there's lots of memories associated with them. And I count 7 X Factor relayed tracks, plus Rage Against the Machine, which was a direct challenge to X Factor and stops Joe McElderry appearing on the list by a single week.

I actually saw Mike Yarwood on stage in Summer season at Blackpool in 1980. Supported by the Nolan Sisters. Impressionists have a difficult job not only do they need to do an accurate impression they need to find something funny to do with it.

Eh? Dusty's been a gay icon for sixty years now, and that song is great.

Viva La Vida was my favorite song when I was 6, and I remember begging my parents to buy Break Your Heart from iTunes (they got me an iPod Nano around that time).

Downloading music by Kazaa, each song took forty minutes at best to download. You knew someone who insisted Metallica did Paint it Black because it was named a Metallica song on Kazaa.

A System of a Down fan and a Black Eyed Peas hater. I may need to reappraise my previous opinions about your lack of taste in music.

Here in Brazil most people love this song, and so do I, I don't remember a song by The Black Eyed Peas that I didn't like, I don't see the lyrics of the song, but the melody and rhythm I don't know if it's because of the lyrics that you don't like, or because of everything, but if it's because of the rhythm and melody I can't understand

Troll.

Buthelezi, Zagallo and Thimmakka all discharged, Zhang Lixiong out of ICU. No one in danger right now. Fucking miracles after fucking miracles.

I’m on a deathlist forum. I am in a real life in person deathlist league where we draft celebs like fantasy football. To suggest I am concerned about speaking ill of the dead is actually impressively ignorant. My only point is that you seemingly are not depressed. You don’t know what it is like to be severely depressed. It is a genuine mental illness but you have taken the stand that they should be in a rational enough state of mind to simply get help, as if it is that simple.
