In a comments thread under an article about Friends, someone with the username Shed7 claimed on the night the last episode was broadcast in the UK, a large bunch of students had marched into the pub he was in in Manchester and demanded the landlord put the TV in the backroom on so they could all watch it. When he declined because they had a band due to play, they all apparently flounced out. Someone jokingly asked if it was Shed 7 playing by any chance, but they replied it was actually Mansun. First of all Mansun split up the year before the last episode of Friends so there was no way it was, and secondly even though they'd probably passed their peak popularity by the time they split they'd still have been considerably beyond playing pub back rooms. Unless it was some secret gig by Paul Draper, although that's unlikely by all accounts. Anyway I didn't have the heart to question it as they've probably just misremembered, or maybe just made the whole thing up, but it still bugged me.
And I've mentioned this before but I used to work with someone who thought 'scatological' was the longer version of 'scatty', so would say ''I'm being a bit scatological today'' when she meant she was being a bit forgetful. First time she did it I'd not woked there long so didn't really feel I could correct her, and then of course it's too late if you've let it pass once, like when someone gets your name wrong.
