There's an old English music hall song, the chorus of which exploited the double-negative to comedic effect:

"I don’t not know no-one who don’t want no nine inch nails.
I don’t not know no-one who don’t want no nine inch nails.
I know the King, I know the Queen,
I know the Prince of Wales,
But I don’t not know no-one who don’t want no nine inch nails."

Whether Trent and Co were aware of that is another matter.



You have to post that at least once a year don't you?

There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia."

Be a bugger to hammer, they would...
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!
