 * Hi,
 * I want to put what appears on the default “Recent Comments” widget elsewhere 
   in my blog, on a non-widget area.
 * I’ve looked around and wasn’t sure how to locate the code? There’s some other
   code around for different Recent Comments, but I specifically want the default
   WordPress style.
 * My blog is lukehimself.net and I want to put it at the bottom in a <div>.
 * Thanks,
    Luke.

 * I worked it out using this code, for anyone who searches the same thing.
 *     ```
       <?php
       $number=5; // number of recent comments desired
       $comments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT $number");
       ?>
       <ul id="recentcomments">
       <h2>Recent Comments</h2>
       <?php
       if ( $comments ) : foreach ( (array) $comments as $comment) :
       echo  '<li class="recentcomments">' . sprintf(__('%1$s on %2$s'), get_comment_author_link(), '<a>comment_ID) . '">' . get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID) . '</a>') . '';
       endforeach; endif;?>
       ```
