That's what that article writes: "he would be ready to resign like his predecessor rather than ruling for life." I have two thoughts about that. Good. Governments, like nappies, should be changed often and for the same reason. I hope he stays on for a few more years. He seems a decent bloke, as popes go.

**checking Baskin's name off my list of 'famous theater managers in Estonia'**SC The guy was absolute legend in Estonia. Everybody knew him. You don't need to be sarcastic because you don't know anybody outside your little island.

Joan Rivers for sure. BTW that guest "Rad" was me.

And Simon makes the only scorer so far for mine, but he was just the right side of 60 and is my joker, so not such a bad start, then.

Muhammed Ali already has his own thread, it's pointless creating another one for him.

There are also rumours about a botox injection gone wrong, or that some powerful people in the background (ex-KGB) might try to topple Putin because his economic course has led to disaster. By the way, I like that in the top 5 "Most read in news" in the Mirror they seem to have a special news category for "boobs" (which, of course, is at the top at the moment).

You don't need to be sarcastic because you don't know anybody outside your little island. I understand the sentiment but if I am correct SC dwells in that Little Island that is North America. Either you understand the sentiment (agree) or you don't. Don't dance on the head of a pin. Not sure how my being from NA is relevant. SC I think that Eesti was trying to suggest that you hailed from Blighty hence the correction with a small touch of irony.

I am really sad to see Terry Pratchett has gone a big miss for the DL. I wonder why he was taken off the list given that he had to withdraw from public life last July. Alzheimer's is extremely aggressive, from personal experience my father went from being able to speak and hold conversations to not being able to do much more than repeat what we said to him in the space of 12 weeks and stopped speaking entirely 6 months later. It's an extremely nasty disease. 5 months before my dad died he was unable to feed himself, recognise his surroundings or communicate at all, it was so fast, he was bedridden and in the end started to aspirate when being fed as he had forgotten how to swallow. It was a lower respiratory infection that took my wee dad and I see the official cause of death for Mr. Pratchett is 'chest infection', much the same thing. In response to questions about where to start with Terry Pratchett's books I don't know, how long is a piece of string. I can give you my experience and it's up to you where you want to start. Back in 1987 I was off work with full on dose of flu, still living at home and I was bored and miserable and making my parents and my siblings lives misery. One of my brothers, chucked The Colour of Magic at me and said 'you should read this it might make make you smile and give us all a break'. I retreated to my bed and read it and just could not put it down, I loved it thought it was great. I passed it onto my dad who thought it was brilliant and then to my mum who just loved it. My brother was happy to pass on the sequel to us 'The Light Fantastic' and we all eagerly awaited the release of Equal Rites in paperback. I was almost first in the bookstore in Glasgow - no internet then it was John Smith's in St. Vincent Street and greedily took it home when it was first released. I was disappointed, I have never reread it and perhaps I should. I have had over the years had a hit and a miss love affair with Pratchett's Discworld. I loved Guards! Guards! and hated Soul Music. I adored Mort and enjoyed Wyrd Systers and Moving Pictures. I grew tired of a new book every 6 months and stopped getting them for birthday and Christmas presents well over 10 years ago. They lay in my bookshelves unread. When I moved most made their way to a local charity shop but I have kept my brother's original copies of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic that he lent me 28 years ago, they are squirreled away in my collection. My mum recently picked up a copy of 'The colour of magic from a charity shop and enjoyed it just as much as she did in 1987. Not sure if this helps with choices of where to start.

I read the colour magic and the gnome series, might delve into some of the other discworld series.

Is The Engineer is a bit keen to qualify for the Champions League? Submitting two teams? His 1st team & his 'B' team, initiating Greg Dykes vision on the future of English football. Its my dream to play with myself in the champions league final . Aw fuck, I did that last year too. I'll sort it.

We can't see him? (sorry) Edit to add: We can't see him.... making the end of April I guess.

DARK HERE, ISN'T IT

It's possible Zsa Zsa is dead as like i said in my previous post i wouldn't put anything past Von Anhalt but i do think she is still being kept alive as in December Francesca just before her own death released a photo of her with Zsa Zsa to radar online and also haven't the courts said the "Prince" and Zsa Zsa can live in there house until she dies. Most crucially the real Owners of the house who inherit it once Zsa Zsa dies pay the "Prince" about £300,000 a year to look after her surely they will get some sort of proof she is still alive as surely they wouldn't pay someone all that money every year unless they knew for certain that she was still with us. You're right, she must have been alive while her daughter was alive. "Prince" von Anhalt couldn't stop Francesca from seeing her mother. Though now the "prince" can do whatever he wants with her. Gross bordering on the necrophiliac It may seem gross, but it's a fact. Old codgers do rodger. Roger that. I heard a story of a care worker local to me who had a 92 year old male client with significant hearing loss, which was - sort of - the main reason she accidently walked in on him pleasuring himself! She heard him coming more than he heard her coming, or summat. Which reminds me of the lady of the night who had a client who asked to use a different orifice. She suggested he use her ear so she could hear him coming. Or summat and I'll get me coat.

That is fucking brilliant.

Laugh your tits off at this
