Oi! Leave me out of this.

Too good not to share. http://examiner.com.co/rockeractivist-ted-nugent-found-alive-age-66/

More than we currently do?

Shame.

It's true. He's dead http://www.tmz.com/2015/02/23/ben-woolf-dead-dies-american-horror-story-hit-by-car/ Lots of good material here. 1) "[TMZ was] told Ben's organs are being donated and will help about 50 people" Do they for into normal size people? Who wants a mini-kidney? 2) It's gonna be tough beating this for strangest death of 2015 "dwarf gets hit and killed by vehicle side view mirror while crossing the road". Sir C What about other midgets? Verne Troyer used to be a raging alchie, he might need a liver transplant at some point. I think Old Man Ecclestone* might suffer some sudden organ failure from shock, if/when F1 goes his-daughter's-tits-up some time this season (which I'm highly anticipating). *You don't know who that is. But we don't know who the legendary Chippy "The Torque" de Torquemada (or whatever his name is) was either so, y'know, swings and roundabouts

Two points of added information, off the top of my head: 1) Plummer is still acting full time, he has four or five films either filming or in post-production currently. 2) He really, really, really hates The Sound of Music. For Julie Andrews most people just remember her from Sound of Music or Mary Poppins whereas Plummer's been working solidly on at least a couple of movies a year playing a variety of roles. But because he plays a variety of roles you don't generally automatically see him and think "oh that's the guy from Sound of Music". Andrews usually plays characters where there's a passing reference to Sound of Music or Mary Poppins, or she's parodying either character. Yeah, but she had a spell of getting fed up with that and countered the cute image by getting her tits out on screen, didn't she? That was in 1981 in the film S.O.B. I thought it was Victor/Victoria? You see, I also thought she got her baps out in "Victor/Victoria", but apparently memory was playing tricks on me. Thankfully, the internet's got us covered:

Someone told me yesterday that he believed CND in the eighties were funded by the KGB and the current anti-fracking protests are bankrolled by the oil industry. Although his attitude to conspiracies makes Muhammad Al-Fayad look like a laid back guy.

I dunno if this has been posted anywhere else, yet, but American Horror Stories star, Ben Woolf, has died, from injuries that he got, while being hit by a car, a few days ago. TMZ announced it.

Ben Woolf's not an option for 2016

Oh dear. Poor guy I think he's approaching "The Final Frontier". Whether it will be as painful as watching that movie I don't know.

He's screwed now! Paul Napier, who originated the Mr. Goodwrench character for General Motors, died Saturday. He was 84. "Napier had more than 400 commercial credits along with TV credits on “Kojak,” “Knots Landing,” “L.A. Law,” “Taxi,” Coach” and “Dynasty,” on which he had a recurring role as a gardener." http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/paul-napier-dead-originator-of-mr-goodwrench-1201439647/#

Did she have a stroke, or was the stripper too far away (arf!)

JTS 'talking' isn't medical certainty, but this was a bad pick from the get-go, see my post 1-1-2015. Committee shat itself with this one. Of course this means I'll be reading his obit later today. Sir C

Bad? Not particularly. Let us merely say it is cross-Atlantic badinage. And on that note, the language is actually called English, this site is in the UK and therefore as a matter of courtesy if nothing else, one should not attempt to stomp all over local customs with ones own version of them. When and if I post to a site in the US, I shall happily spell the likes of color, medalist, or even heaven help me, aluminum as asked (if it ever comes up). One word to surely make me cringe everytime, especially when it comes from the mouth of a newsreader, is "winningest".

A friend of a friend of mine was a train driver who quit his job after several occasions in which the train he was driving killed a suicidal. As they say, he couldn't take it anymore and it affected his skills. I don't remember him mentioning becoming suicidal himself, but I can't imagine a lorry being cheered up by the prospect of a collision with a footballer. He may not have been its first. I understand the delight with which the rags report this unfortunate vehicle's plight, but they could be more considerate with its emotional condition. Why not bother the footballer who started all this? regards, Hein

Man, the No campaign really pulling out all the stops, aren't they?
