   Well, "Up yours, ugly!" is from _The Young Ones_. In the episode _Bored_, 
the boys are so bored that they go down to the local pub. Vivian (sp?) 
unexpectedly discovers that the barmaid is his mother. She isn't interested
in talking to him, instead latching onto Mike. When he tries to get her 
attention, she shouts "Up yours, ugly!" Kate credited _The Young Ones_
on _The Sensual World_.

   Yeah, it seems wierd. But Kate has a weird sense of humor.
