105 year old Sir Nicholas Winton is getting some column inches today on the back of being honoured in the Czech Republic for his work saving Jewish lives in the war. Still fairly chipper and alert for one so old, but never-the-less, in our sights, eh?

I'm not sure I remember how the scoring goes, but four words out of five incorrectly spelled and ALL CAPS is a reasonable attempt at a "bollocks in brevity" record surely? (allowing that GAZZA, is not a mis-spelling of course). Succinct of you to point out the purpose of your post in advance for those that might somehow miss the point however, kudos for that.

Well, I'm fairly confident that Olivia will live to see 2016. But okay, we might as well replace some of the men you mentioned instead. The DL is already too male dominated. Undoubtably because men don't live as long as women. I call it playing it too safe. It's way disproportionate.

That's going to be a rarity, he will have to blow his own instead of getting a young girl to do it for him.

Yesterday when I was out shopping, a clown held a door open for me. I thought that was a really nice jester.

With enough money people can always find a doc who'd give the OK. I guess it was actually his own decision. They might tell him about the risks, the side effects, the slim chances of success - but if Sam still insists he'd wanna go forward with it, then they can't stop him. Sam's tweets, especially earlier this year, revealed a very determined, combative attitude towards his disease. And the fact that he & the earlier chemo rounds had seemed to fare much better than initially predicted could have fuelled his false hopes that he might even stand a chance against the cancer. Now he might be resigned to his fate (though I'm not sure), but if he wants to prolong his life as much as possible, he has to pursue an aggressive course of treatment since the cancer should become more and more resistant to chemo and affect more and more organs. So basically you're saying: Cancer's gonna cance.
