A bit like this entire site. Come to think of it, Joan would have loved it here.

Bobby Vinton unable to perform at Joan Rivers funeral due to bout with pneumonia. Worth keeping an eye on.

What will the Uk call itself once it's no longer united? Untied Kingdom?

The expression "reach out to" when people mean "contact". It seems to have taken a hold recently. Makes me cringe. What's wrong with contact, speak to, write to, call etc? Reaching out to somebody suggests to me an unpleasant situation, like trying to rescue somebody who's fallen off a cliff or into a lake, or summat. It can also suggest offering sympathy, like a hug, which presupposes that something unpleasant has happened. Not picking on you in particular, Phantom, you just reminded me of it. You said: "I can reach out to the company that governs that server to find out who their administrator is." I would say: "I can ask the company that governs that server who their administrator is."

A 'Yes' vote up here and you are fucked for eternity We would actually move into quite an unreal situation. Scottish independance would not actually occur until 2016 but the election would happen in 2015. It is possible that Ed Milliband might end up leading the UK with a majority shored up by Scottish Consituencies but come 2016 he might lose his majority.

Yeah but here's the really important thing: She's the second star of "Spaceballs" to stuff it after John Candy.

R.I.P Joan. I thought you were brilliant.

Fucking hell, he has a "constant companion" an ex priest, who roams planet earth with him ( and looks after his properties too) and he also went out with ( loose term) Sue Barker.If that doesn't scream "GAY!!!!" what the fucking hell does??? My Dear old Dad used to tell us about the early days, Adam Faith, who they used to call Spotty Nelhams and Cliff Richard, to name but a few, starting out on the road to stardom getting booed off the stage and having anything to hand thrown at them. Cliff Richard had lots of rumours circulating about him even then ( pertaining to his sexuality) so its hardly old news. My Dad played in a band in the early 60s, knew loads of people and told us loads of stuff, he was in that kind of circle, loads of people trying to be famous, which he could have been if he hadn't tea leafed from a fag machine with his band mates one night. A night in the cells and a massive bollocking from his mum ensured that he became the wonderful dad he was. I know that's got fuck all to do with the thread but, bollocks, just remembering my Daddy, or summat.
