Topic: You are X and I claim my five pounds


  
  You are X and I claim my five pounds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You are X and I claim my five pounds
You are X and I claim my five pounds (commonly abbreviated to YA X AICMFP, YA X AICM£5 or AICM5UKP) is a British stock phrase commonly used in online discussion forums such as Usenet.
The phrase is supposedly used to reveal a poster's secret identity, but in practice it is used ironically to make a humorous comparison between the poster and another person, either a third person who frequents the same forum or a celebrity.

 Amazon.com: Five Architects: Eisenman, Graves, Gwathmey, Hejduk, Meier: Books: Peter Eisenman,Michael Graves,Charles ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Five Architects, originally published in 1975, grew out of a meeting of the CASE group (Conference of Architects for the Study of the Environment) held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1969.
Collectively, their work makes a modest claim: it is only architecture, not the salvation of man and the redemption of the earth.
Now back in print, Five Architects serves as a reference to the early work of some of America's most important architects and provides us with a glimpse back at the direction of architecture as they saw it twenty years ago.

 Winston Churchill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Once, in 1886, he is reported to have proclaimed "My daddy is Chancellor of the Exchequer and one day that's what I'm going to be." His desolate, lonely childhood stayed with him throughout his life.
Churchill managed to escape from his prison camp, resulting in a long running criticism and controversy as it was claimed that he didn't wait for Haldane and another man who had planned the escape but who were unable, or unwilling, to risk slipping over the fence when Churchill did.
In 1995, a row erupted after the National Lottery spent 12 million pounds of its 'good causes' budget on Churchill's personal papers after his descendants said they were tempted to sell them to American academics.
