Make sure you don't bite the thermometer too hard, or you'll get shards of glass in your mouth and a few drops of mercury down your throat.

Freddie Mercury

God's gift to 80s-90s music. No one thought to sing Opera, Rock and Pop in a single song. Well-known for being, the singer of Queen, he is only album is also great piece of music. A true legend.

What's the best rock song ever? Bohemian Rhapsody, written and sung by Freddie Mercury.

Merrick and Rosso

A comedy duo from Australia who are seen (and heard) mainly on radio and in newspapers. Are pretty funny and have some classic CD's out, available from ABC shops. Have a liking for the New Zealand accent and once rang a pizza shop in NZ to pay out the poor guy there.

Have you heard Merrick and Rosso? They are very funny.
