I thought we could do our own version on here. I'll start the ball rolling.

I'm not stupid but.. for years i thought when i saw pictures of Boris Johnson it was Matt Lucas dressed in a wig.

We've kind of already done it in that 'two great features' thread.

I used to think that the runway at the airport was a Run-A-Way because the planes ran along it

Back at school in Assembly I thought the lyrics to one of the songs we had to sing was -

"Dance Dance wherever you may be, I am the lord of the dance Settee, and I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, and I'll lead you all in the dance Settee"

I always thought the lyrics to the fatboy slim track 'Rockafeller Skank' were "right about now, the punk sold rubber"

Referring, of course, to the famous mohicaned condom vendors we all know and love.

Talking of misheard lyrics, there's a few over the years I've misheard:

The Police - Canary In A Coalmine, I've mentioned this one before but if you listen to the song it sometimes sounds like Sting sings "Canary in a korma"

Outkast - B.O.B. (which stands for Bombs Over Bagdad, although was released in 2000 a few years before the Iraq War) for years until I found out what B.O.B. stood for I thought the female/child vocals on the chorus were singing "Bob's not a bad lad" :)

When I was quite young I thought Ipswich was a country in Eastern Europe.

Head-chog. I even thought that "chog" meant "spikey" in some language but didn't know which. It wasn't really something I'd seen written down.

I used to not know what amnesty meant, 'Amnesty International' sounded like somewhere Pete Tong might play.

i used to think that only one person could have the one name, as in unique name. the man who owned the local garage was called jackie stewart, who i thought was the ex formula one racing driver jackie stewart

i used to think lisbon and lisburn were the same place

i didnt know that for a man to pee, they had to put the toilet seat up. up until i was 18 i was pissing all over the toilet seat and noone told me otherwise

But that's true. I tried to register [email protected] years ago and they told me someone had already taken my name :(

Did you go with jezza@ or jezzy@ thejezster@ in the end up? It is irratating when someone beats you to it. I tried about four or five different variations on my name to no avail when trying to register my 1st e-mail account. Ended up making one up - [email protected] . Amusing at the time but slightly embarrassing when getting asked for it.

"Eh, its [email protected]", "Pardon?", "Ahem, yes it's [email protected]", "Can you spell that?" "B,I ...."

You get the point. I now have a grown up e-mail address.
