Really?
Is that from Canadians or immigrants?
I've lived in Canada for nearly 36years and I've met 2 people in my life that were truly antisemitic
I'm just regurgitating a news article I read, I'm from a province where it's nothing but white Irish Catholics so I don't see racism and quite frankly think it's a myth.

Little Johnny's teacher was teaching about the word 'Contagious'... and asked Little Johnny if he could use it in a sentence.

Little Johnny says; "Yes, whenever we are in the car waiting to go somewhere and mom's still inside, my dad always says 'it'll take that contagious to get ready!"'





my grampa told me that one.

The town I come from is very white and there were some problems towards Asians years ago from some stupid kids
There was a little racism towards the few black people in town but that got dealt with quickly

FormationEdit
Arlene Phillips moved to London to learn and teach developing American Jazz dance routines. Employed as a dance teacher, she taught at locations including the Pineapple Dance Studios and the Italia Conti Stage School. In 1974, Phillips started forming the core of a troupe; Italia Conti student actress Lesley Manville turned her down.[2] Hot Gossip spent two years performing in Munkberry's club in Jermyn Street W1 where Phillips and manager/producers Michael Summerton and Iain Burton developed the group's dance act. Phillips, Summerton and Burton continued to work together for eight years during which time Hot Gossip continued to enjoy wide popularity and success.

The Kenny Everett Video ShowEdit
Spotted by the British television director David Mallet, he invited Phillips to make Hot Gossip a regular feature of the 1978 The Kenny Everett Video Show, which he directed for Thames Television on ITV. The show ended in 1981 on Thames,then moved to the BBC without Hot Gossip except for Season 4 in 1986.

MusicEdit
In 1978, during their initial impact period on The Kenny Everett Video Show, Hot Gossip recorded "Making love on a phone" and with Sarah Brightman on lead vocals recorded "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper".[1] A disco song written by Jeff Calvert, Geraint Hughes,the men behind another huge hit record in 1975 called 'Barbados'. The track reaching number 6 in the UK Singles Chart,[3]They went on to record an album in 1981,called Geisha Boys and Temple Girls, produced by the former Human League and then current Heaven 17/BEF member Martyn Ware.A stand out track called 'I Burn For You' was written by Sting.[4]

The Very Hot Gossip ShowEdit
Produced by Burton and Telecast by Channel 4, the one-hour special was a vehicle for Hot Gossip, fresh from their stint on The Kenny Everett Video Show. The Very Hot Gossip Show was one of the highest rating shows for Channel 4 that year.

Hot Gossip were noted for the risque nature of their costumes and the dance routines, all designed and choreographed by Phillips, especially considering the early evening timeslot that the Video Show was broadcast in. They are often credited as one of the UK's early television dance troupes, continuing a trend which started with the Go-Jo's and Pan's People on Top of the Pops.

The group was once spoofed on The Benny Hill Show as Hot Gossamer, with references to the Hot Gossip routines 'Supernature' and 'Walk on the Wild Side'. Some former Hot Gossip dancers appeared on the show, notably Jane Colthorpe and Lorraine Doyle were members of Love Machine. Then later Lorraine Doyle featured heavily in sketches as well as part of the Hill's Angels dance troupe.
