My thoughts towards the security services was "you stopped him?"

They were probably both doing their annual phone rounds to get inside information for their DDP teams.

Hopefully this cruel illness won't rob him of his fond memories of beating the shit out of his wife.

I fear that IS have enough hostages in stock to plan a 12 Days of Christmas spectacular, or at least some other Yuletide surprise to divert the attention of us Kafirs away from the usual fare of the Queen's Speech and re-runs of Only Fools and Horses. Aye, it'll be Only Fools and Headless, then.

Doctor Who director Michael Hayes has died. Directed The City of Death which is considered to be one of the best episodes ever.

In a word - no. This explanation of the human equivalent may help. There's even a little video to demonstrate.

https://tv.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-valerie-harper-guest-star-melissa-joey-192600667.html -Set to guest star in a television series next year.I wondered how she was doing as she hasn`t been in the media recently.She looked fantastic in Signed ,Sealed Delivered and was even dancing rigorously in one scene.She might outlive Mary Tyler Moore at this rate.

This is so frustrating. It is over a month since Paisley went and at the time I thought we were on a roll after two deaths in August. There is so much potential on the list all of the top 10 could keel over at any moment. But even the deaths that are happening off-list are either relatively obscure or complete shocks (like Lynsey de Paul).I am waiting for a big one.

Another one to keep an eye on is Grace Lee Whitney who played Rand. She is 84 now, which is a miracle in itself, given that she hit the bottle badly back in her day. Old interview here: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20106998,00.html

Glen is in the final stages of Alzheimer's and just said goodbye to his career by recording a last ballad. This ballad was already recorded January last year, and to be honest, what a fine piece of music it is. A man who is aware of his fate and gives a last salute to his family. Campbell has been moved to 24-hour care, as his doctors have determined that he is in the sixth stage of Alzheimer’s (‘severe cognitive decline”). Here's the chorus. Moving stuff. Reminds me of how Johnny Cash (who passes by after 27 seconds in this clip) bowed out with an amazing cover of NIN's "Hurt". If he makes it to 2015 he's sure a candidate for the top 50 next year.

Angela Merkel is passing through customs on the way into France As she's filling in her form, the customs official asks "Occupation?" "No, just vacation for the weekend"

Don't see why they would mention the medical condition unless she needs regular medicine and they think someone took her. Then again I have heard suicide is quite high among native Americans so that could be a possibility . So you're sayin they don't have any reservations about offing themselves

Not that you'd remember... regards, Hein
