He's not a newspaper, he's a former newspaper editor.. He wasn't fleet enough crossing that street....

What odds will you give on it being Ronnie Biggs?

Frankly, I don't fancy his chances of cheering on his closeted wurzel diving boy to 2012 Olympic gold, having seen this documentary. Shock horror! It's Tom Gayley Slow news day. It was pointed out on twitter that this news is equivalent to Barak Obama coming out as black He's BLACK!???!!!

Amazing day Opened the second door on my advent calendar and Tom Daley came out!

An Irishman went into a bar in Glasgow the other week and said to the landlord, "I'm very impressed with your charity jar, there aren't many coppers in it!"

Maybe they do need the money. After all, Python is a cult, they didn't make a massive amount of money. The records sold OK, but not Led Zeppelinesque standards. The films were more labours of love than commercial money spinners, which might explain Cleese/Idle's poor movie choices for the bucks. Their last film together was in 1983. Last significant set of gigs (Hollywood Bowl) was in 1980. Last TV series, 1974. And there's five of them, quite a bit to split. That's a while ago now. Throw in a few bad career moves/business deals/divorces/new family and it soon adds up and the money soon runs out. If they want to cash in on their success and add to their pensions, then let them. Sooner them than fucking Michael Mcintyre any day of the week...

Godfrey Stafford the Physicist, right? If so, you might want to reconsider that pick in the light of his death last summer. The Raymond Hewlett clause wouldn't apply in his case. Welcome to my World...

Today's episode of MHGTotN is inspired by Remebrance Day, if a bit late. My cycling tour though the westernmost part of Brabant was interesting, because there it was a foggy day. This made navigation difficult and the shifting landscape surprising. The most exciting sight was that of a buzzard perched on a lamppost, obviously not the bird on this picture. Anyway, my ultimate cause was Steenbergen, a small town of little importance for people who don't live thereabouts. Late in the evening of 19 September 1944, RAF Mosquito B.XX KB267 crashed near Steenbergen in farmland that is now an industrial area. On board were two airmen, navigator Sqadron Leader Jim Warwick DFC and pilot Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC, DSO and Bar, DFC and Bar. The remains found in the wreck were a nasty potpourri of parts of torso and bits of knee and were buried in one grave at Steenbergen's Roman Catholic cemetary. I visited the grave today. It is in perfect condition. I suppose because of Remembrance Day fresh wreaths were put on the grave. The dog doll, supposedly a tribute to Gibson's dog N-word, is still there. regards, Hein

Suggestion is yes. She's apparently in a relationship with the woman she beat for her first gold medal. Ie this:
