Plans to introduce new Call Centre Legislation into Parliament have been put on hold. A government spokesman insisted “this matter is important to us and we will deal with it at the earliest available opportunity”, before playing a mangled version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
Elton John stunned the music world at a glittery awards night with the frank admission that ’sorry’ probably isn’t the hardest word.
The outlandish star let slip that sorry is actually pretty easy to say, even if it’s a bit harder to mean, whereas ’floccinaucinihilipilification’ is truly difficult. Elton admitted that he’d worked hard to fit floccinaucinihilipilification into the chorus, but once it had extended past two and a half minutes he felt it was a little overlong.
Floccinaucinihilipilification is defined as something valued as worthless, revealed Elton ironically to a roomful of A-list celebrities.
