Waka Waka Hey Hey!
Except that, way back in the golden olden days circa 1980, I met my late brother there for a coffee and browse, culminating in my revelation of the reason Iâd not been in touch with him for the preceding decade or so.
Thatâs another story!
Not while Nige has a beer in his hand, a fag in his mouth and a grand each to disappear for a month.
To the best of my knowledge Shakira Law hasnât had an album in the charts for nearly ten years. I never rated her anyway.

A friend told me he wouldnât mind Shakira telling him what to do
Just say a miniscule non entity of a place not far from that big deal of a town Reading.
Thatâll cheer you.

High Wycombe punches above its weight as a place in comedy shows. Off the top of my head, I can remember these three. Iâm sure there are more:
In an episode of Yes Minister, Sir Humphrey mentions balancing the budget by selling an office block in High Wycombe.
A hypnotised Alan Partridge takes Ursula Andress to the Moathouse in High Wycombe because of its 24 hour carvery.
Minder legend Arthur Daley reminds Dave in the Winchester that he once met Matt Munro in High Wycombe bus station cafe.

You think thatâs bad. I live just outside Leighton Buzzard. A town that when Iâm asked for its location I can only answer âBetween Luton and Milton Keynesâ. Then I consider the journey of my life and gently weep.
In the Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock Holmes heâs offered ânights of passion in High Wycombe,â as an alternative to detective work.
Parts of an episode of the same series are also filmed in Wycombe.

Sorry @Malone - Iâm not as bright as the five likers. You know how I hate not understanding something. Would you explain it and put me out of my misery, please. You seem to have gone all kimmy.
âHips donât lieâ is one of Shakiraâs hits.
The chair museum gets a mention in Gavin and Stacy.

Wycombe got a mention in The Daily Mash yesterday. Weâve officially made it.
@micra and Shakira is a singer, just in case you didnât know that bit!
Like a Colombian Britney Spears.
Britney Spears is like a late 90s version of todayâs Sabrina Carpenter.
No relation to the Carpenters.
