This shoe-eating You'll go live on FB and invite us to watch, right?

Hmmm So sure of his own power that doubtless any long-term rejection by his Hollywood mates will only lead to a best-selling memoir in which he blows the lid on others and a controversial movie in which he's played by someone like Micky Rourke

Killed kids in a sadistic murdering frenzy Hmmm, if you were charitably minded you might count that as a misguided audition for the Jesuits

Yeah, take care, Drol.

Hmm.... wishing the best....

I'm facing some tough health issues right now. Nothing life-threatening, but still very annoying.

Bit like Time above- I’m off to Zante in a few hours. 4th time to the resort of Alykes. Temps been up around 25/26 which is excellent! Cannot wait for that sun lounger and an Alpha beer

I’m off on my holidays in a couple of hours. a week in Magaluf, so wish me luck!

No more white christmas for Bing Crosby after this day 40 years ago, aged 74.

Ah, remember the motto of life. Expect More Death Tommorow I'd add: and hope it isn't your own!

She's being a bad example. More people will believe in alternative bullshit and Drollercoaster will miss its joker.

I reckon they're saving him for November 5th!

Ghostbusters?

Word play on "effin hell"...

Gonna throw this one out there: John Astin. Does he need a few more years on the clock before he becomes an Al Molinaro-type figure or is 87 old enough? Most recent news I can find is him lending his voice to an anti-fracking radio campaign earlier this year, no contemporary photo though.

http://www.wral.com/valerie-harper-back-on-screen-despite-cancer-struggle/17011918/ Mostly a "more of the same" article but does note the cancer drug that has helped her defy the odds for so long was losing effectiveness, so she's now on a new trial. Though doesn't seem anything imminent yet.

Let's see if I can put this in a way that won't get me crucified. Meh, not a chance. There are a fair number of women like me - I have noticed they all tend to be around my age, as well - who, while in complete agreement that some men need to learn how to keep their peckers to themselves and stop being misogynistic manipulating predatory assholes, also believe that women need to do a couple of things: Stop allowing the label of "victim" to be applied to them and stop demanding special treatment in cases of sexual transgression; Fight like hell to change the world but, at the same time, understand that the current world is not what they would wish and act accordingly; Take common sense precautions to protect themselves in this not perfect world; And the one that gets the most rotten tomatoes thrown at me - remember that accusation does not immediately confer guilt. I know women who would walk through Detroit at night wearing a bikini just to make a point. No shit. No, what you are wearing does not give any man the right to lay a hand on you. Realistically, however, you just set yourself up. You are a dumbass. If you were carrying $10K in cash you would go miles out of your way to avoid South Central Los Angeles. Why is taking steps to avoid sexual assault any different? It may not make a difference - nuns in full habit have been raped from time immemorial - but wearing the bikini where it is appropriate to wear it and not where it isn't might just be common sense. If you play the victim you will be treated like a victim. End of discussion. The media not releasing your identity, you needing a safe anonymous space, merely shows your weakness to your attacker. It's OK for your accused - but not yet convicted - attacker to be named and to be smeared all over the news but you get to hide? What if you are wrong and his life is destroyed? It's been fairly well proven that recognition is unreliable in criminal cases. Oh, but it's all right because someone hurt you....bullshit. Double standards are double standards regardless of whether the crime is rape or grand larceny or arson or mass murder. If you are right, and you know you are right, and especially if you have proof that you are right, get out there and kick ass. If he hurt you make sure he knows he did not destroy you. Rape and sexual harassment are about power, and if you hide out and lick your wounds for too long you have given your attacker all the power. The only way stigma gets destroyed is to take it out of the dark and burn it on the town square. Hold your head high and make sure everyone knows you believe there is no shame in being assaulted, only in perpetuating the idea of victimhood on your entire sex. Don't even get me started on the US Title IX sexual assault on college campuses bullshit. Oh, and if you didn't protest and you kept your mouth shut or accepted a bribe when some sorry ass piece of shit predated on you, you can just continue to keep your mouth shut when the shit hits the fan and he's been destroyed in the media. You are part of the problem, not the solution, and you need to just go away and yes I'm talking to you Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow (who both have a couple of powerful parents themselves). Particularly when you continue to make money for him in film after film, year after year. This is why I am an unsuccessful feminist and likely to remain one.

Not quite buckets but I do own some very large wine glasses! I have just had a reunion in Glasgow with some friends and neighbours from my childhood days to celebrate a milestone birthday of mine and was given what I can only describe as a 'massive fuck-off glass' to drink my gin from (bottle of gin included too) , even I was daunted by it's size. Count me in for 24th March :-)

NEVER!!!!!! It was 'Shoot'

Gino Paoli. He is 83 and has a bullet in his heart. LOL.

Aye, BCS is more about Mike for sure. I 'do' want to watch https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metástasis at some point. A Columbian shot by shot remake of Breaking Bad. I think I'd prefer it to watching the original again.

Looking back at that "good analysis": 1. Peter Sallis: I thought he was a goner in 2016, I certainly do in 2017. One year I might be right... 2. Tony Booth: Falling to pieces, if he makes 2018, give him a medal. 3. Jake Lamotta – Not sure how he made his 96th year. 4. Hugh Hefner – Old. 5. Joost van der Westhuizen – Frail at Christmas, lasted 6 years with ALS now. 6. Mary Tyler Moore – Her again! 7. Errol Christie – “Year to live” sometime pre-May 2016. A cert. 8. Ian Brady – Says he is terminally ill. I say he’s a scumbag liar, but a hit here would be lovely. 9. Glen Campbell – A must for 2017, surely. 10. Liz Dawn – First time on the Deathlist, despite many years of folk asking for her. The Ali gambit once more? 11. John Noakes – Said to be very poorly with dementia when he disappeared in Summer 2015. He was found, and survived 2016, but it suggests 2017 might be a tough one for him. 12. Bruce Forsyth – Probably a banker, imo. 13. Jerry Lewis – Oh, he’s back. 14. David Rockefeller – Very old. About 9/14 there. On those numbers, a look back at those still living I suggested were in trouble: Kirk Douglas: A decent shot on age. Vera Lynn: Reportedly in frail health and unable to attend things now. A solid pick. Herman Wouk: Quite old. Leah Bracknell: Stage IV cancer and reliant on shamans. Fucked. Gord Downie: terminal glioblastoma. A cert. Leslie Phillips – Not only quiet since those strokes, but pics of him in the Mail were hideous last year. On the road out. King Michael – leukaemia in a 95 year old is probably trouble. Nobby Stiles – Said to be “gravely ill”. Jill Gascoine – Husband said she was in the final stages of dementia. Difficult to judge these things in time. Ian St John – bladder cancer spreading after surgery. Fecked. Pope Benedict XVI – Said to be in very frail health. Fats Domino – Still no idea how he’s outlived most of his contemporaries. His healthier contemporaries. Akihito – General view? If the Japanese government committee are suggesting he can abdicate, in Japan, then he’s fucked. Valerie Harper – Well she is still terminal, just how slowly terminal? Not quite the Sean list of the dead, but if there are further hits, I still expect them to come from that list above.

Mama....just killed a .... Mama? MAMA?

They're cremating the ex right now. Have to admit I couldn't face going. Think I'll go for a drink in town shortly. Raise a glass and all that...
