Japanese singers singing Chinese songs

[edit]

I currently know of one Japanese singer who has sung Chinese-language songs: Noriko Sakai. Does anyone know of others who would fit in this category? 98.116.69.250 (talk) 07:07, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which movie is this please?

[edit]

Which film has a posh guy and his friend,(I Think), end up in jail together and his friend starts to set up the posh guy to make him stay longer in jail ,(I Think), inc getting him beat up by Nazis and Coloureds. In Jail the posh guy ends up with a gay black guy and he becomes the posh guys minder ,(I Think). When they leave jail they have to dig the poorer guy out of a grave and then the posh guy has a wine business and they all work there and make an awful wine but by using threats it gets a good write up, so they're a success. At the end of the film they're all seen in a car driving away and gradually they all start singing together?

Sorry the questions is a bit hit and miss but saw it a few times on Sky (UK) last year (2011) but can't rmember the title and haven't seen it since.

Only person I can remember what he looked like is the black guy and he was fattish and tall but can't remember his name even though i've seen him in other films but as a criminal or hard man.

Thanks

Has anyone ever won a F1 race from last on the grid?

[edit]

So Lewis Hamilton won pole at the Spanish GP yesterday and was considered the favourite to win the race, then he was disqualified and sent to the back of the grid. Has anyone ever managed to win from there, or would he literally be the first if he pulled it off? 130.88.172.34 (talk) 11:57, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of Formula One driver records#Wins from farthest back on the start grid suggests that no one has won after starting dead last. (The Long Beach race that Watson won from 22nd position had 26 racers in the grid, for instance.) Deor (talk) 12:46, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This place really does have a page on everything, including WP:WPHAAOE indeed. Thanks! 130.88.172.34 (talk) 12:48, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You guys have helped me out with nothing more to go on than a one-liner in the past; I'm trying to remember the episode where Archie, speaking about Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden, says: "God got sore, He said get your clothes on and get the hell out of here".

I know most of them virtually from memory; had that one on the tip of my tounge for ages. Thanks a lot! Joefromrandb (talk) 18:49, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There's been a plaque of people with rouge tounges lately, leaving their faces rogue. It's hard to guage how many. Anyone who can come up with the answer should get a plague.  :) -- ♬ Jack of Oz[your turn] 19:27, 13 May 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Futsal World Cup

[edit]

Where can I find anything (reports, news, videos) outside of this page regarding the 2008 Futsal World Cup semifinal match between Spain and Italy? I remembered accidentally once watching an insanely exciting and controversial indoor football game and I think this was it, but I can't find any information about it. It was shown live on ESPN3, which was where I watched it, but I can't find any replays from so long ago. Any ideas? Bzweebl (talkcontribs) 21:24, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have you not tried the FIFA website? They have some videos, news etc archived here. Nanonic (talk) 22:19, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
With all of their bits and bobs relating to the game here.Nanonic (talk) 22:24, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much, and sorry to spend your time. After seeing that the match report was dead, I gave up on the FIFA website. Bzweebl (talkcontribs) 23:29, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, FIFA are one of those sporting bodies who love to shuffle their website around with no notice. It's been infuriating Wikipedia editors for years. Nanonic (talk) 06:50, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
