TV Talent show for singers with little or no longevity in their career after being awarded a contract. An easy way to get a record contract while making a bunch of rich peeps a lot fo money.
After convincing the British public that they'll watch any old shit with pop idol, Simon Cowell sailed the atlantic to the crap-tv-with-high-ratings heaven that is the United States of America. With five times the audience, he was able to rake in five times the revenue. But due to the American publics willingness to indulge in this shit (I'll admit after watching a total of ten minutes of this, and 20 of the origianal, american idol was slightly better), he made ten times that amount. This was also due to selling off the rights to all manor of countries around the world.

If he didn't do american Idol, Simon would be stuck with nothing more than a London pad and his Aston Martin. Because of American Idol, he's got a bunch of other stuff too.

A supposedly "intelligent" excuse given in business and legal affairs that translates to "we didn't do our homework and check up on what could happen, so your money is gone, have a nice day."

A myth based on several people. In actuality, only one of the charactors on whom the stories are based ever gave to the poor, after taking a share for himself. Also, maid Marrian did not exist in the same time as any of them, and Robin was in fact very merry in the company of men in tights, nudge nudge wink wink.
Today, being a Robin Hood is all about taking from the haves, to deliver to the have nots. This is actually rather communist.

The government wants to take my hard earned money to give to foreigners who haven't done a day's work in their lives. They think they're robin hood or something. Well fuck them.

Coming from Hitler's "BlitzKrieg" meaning lightening war.
The Blitz of London and other major cities in the UK refers to the period during World War II when London was heavily bombed by the luftwaffe (1940-1941).
42,000 Britons died as a result of the blitz, and over 130,000 homes were vaporised. Hitler also commisioned the V2 to attack.
Although the object of the blitz was to weaken British morale, it served as quite the opposite as Churchill focused his speaches to praising the indefatigueability of the British public, thus strenghtening morale.
With the capture of the radar, and discovery of the german radar patterns the blitz ended. German aircraft could no longer keep accuratly hitting their targets.
