Laila Morse (OP) is an anagram of Mia Sorella (Italian for My Sister) - suggested by Gary Oldmans then girlfriend Isabella Rossellini, when she was looking for an Equity name.
The actors that play Barney (How I met your Mother) and Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) are both Gay, but not a couple.
Bill Clinton didn't sign one new or change any current law in two terms as US president.
In 1993 UK Vinyl album sales dipped to 0.3 million Units in 2011 they were 3.6 million.
In 2012 a single required approx 6000 sales in a week to make the Top 40 - the same figure was over 100,000 units in 1969.

Its from an old Mark Thomas set I think. I will try and dig it out over the weekend. Technically the US president does not make any laws its the senate - but I think the actual fact is around any "Bill" signed by Clinton was overturned by the Senate. Not the most vigerous defence of a fact ever or maybe the best source will try harder next time . . .

I thought it was like the fact 'Maggie Thatcher was never given a key to 10 Downing Street'.

Not the most vigerous defence of a fact ever or maybe the best source will try harder next time . . . The wording matters - if the wording had been that Clinton didn't make any laws then there could be a case for it but as it was about laws he had signed then obviously it's demonstrably untrue. And I think the Senate only overturn laws from the other House before they get to the President to sign - so if he's signed it, then it's become law. But that is just off the top of my head so I'm willing to concede there might be a better source which contradicts that and supports your 'defence'.

In regards to the Champagne ' Moët & Chandon' , Moët is actually pronounced “mow-ette” not “mow-eh”.
Claude Moët was born in France in 1683; however, his name is not French, it is Dutch

That's not the reason thou
You are making the mistake of using "&"
They can't say Moët et Chandon with the et being "ay" hence it's mow et ay Shan don

Whenever I have ordered bottles I have never used the full title, Only the 'Moet' part. Which I have always pronounced “mow-eh” found out last night I have been saying it wrong all these years .

I vaguely remember one particular series he did where each each episode was a different murder scenario of some sort. I was only a kid at the time but the one I remember was a vicar being blown up during his sermon. It's not one of his better known creations, but it's the one I remember him for, as I was a bit too young for the more famous stuff.

Speaking of Dick Emery, I popped over to YouTube after my last post.
Does this character look familiar to anyone?
