COMEDIANS are often shrewd observers of life's inaccuracies, aren't they?

In Manchester on his current Laughter is the Best Medicine tour, former Bolton hospital worker Dave Spikey highlighted among "the world's worst lyrics" the Pink Floyd hit Another Brick in the Wall and its kids' line "We don't need no education."

"Yes you do", he insisted. "That's a double negative."

PS. How come Harry Hill's pathetic TV programme got two BAFTAs? The man's as funny as haemorrhoids.
