22% of Britons listen to music whilst making love

I was planning this week to reverse-engineer the survey qns and post them to ILM.

Wait there, that's like 2 million frigging people!

- shagging people who later on became a "pop star"
- shagging members of local bands who you are overclaiming as 'pop stars'
- in fact both "pop" and "star" are pretty elastic words here
- simple delusion

It was also felt that pop stars have sex more than most of us.

The margin of error here may also be significant.

That it? Cheers...

Yes this is because you have to download special software from the interweb to get any volume out of the fucking thing.

Jude Law accounts for 450,000 alone.

hmmm.
