    Only stage 4 for this religious man. That is the stage where Jesus meets his mother Mary. Another 8 until he dies.

    I think he was more pointing out that you posted an obit from The Daily Fail when someone else had already posted an obit from a much, much more respected source (Guardian) in the same ~15 hours aka the daily fail link was redundant, could've just provided an opinion maybe.

    What are you going to do when someone really popular like Sean Connery dies? Declare that just the first posting counts & berate all the fans who dare to post a link to other websites? For many people like myself, who were children during the 1970ies, Peter Wyngarde was some kind of cult star. Department S & Jason King were two of the few shows for grown-ups my parents allowed me to watch & this actor gave me great pleasure.

    Notorious groupie Barbara Cope, AKA The Butter Queen, has been killed in a Dallas house fire. She was namechecked in the Rolling Stones song Rip This Joint. I like this bit from her wiki page: Whoever said that romance is dead...

    Adam Woodyatt - still in EE 33 years later. Susan Tully now Sue Tully - successful TV director. David Scarboro - found dead at bottom of Beachy Head 1988. The future - it's hard to predict!

    I'm sorry for kids growing up now in the witch-hunting 21st century, when almost anything is deemed 'offensive' by somebody, harmless flirting is outlawed and people are vilified for minor misdemeanours 30 or 40 years ago, or have their reputations ruined over unproven allegations.

    He's extremely deathlisty, to the point if he'd went public about is cancer weeks earlier he'd be on this years list. If he makes it to next year - which is possible - he'll be in top half of the list for sure. The only people who would consider question his deathlistyness are dirty foreigners invading our board.

    I'll have you know that there is currently an Archers storyline featuring young Freddie Pargetter dealing mushrooms and ecstasy in order to get his burgeoning DJ career off the ground. Not exactly the soporific fare sought by insomniac pensioners.

    Surely Lesley Seaward of the Archers is the longest serving soap star though?Continuously played Christine Barford since 1953.Patricia Greene has played Jill Archer since 1957 and June Spencer has had about 60 years of the last 67 in the Archers.

    Marks & Spencer food sales slide over Christmas I'm not a fan of M&S but they do have some nice food items. However I rarely go into their shops, and as they don't do normal grocery deliveries they don't show food on their website, apart from special orders. So I can't browse at home and think "Aha, that looks nice, I'll go in and get some." For instance, last Christmas somebody gave me a M&S rogan josh curry kit which was excellent. If I'd been able to see what other styles were on offer, I'd have gone in and bought some more. But I couldn't, and then forgot about it. If they showed their full range online they might tempt more people in.

    If the Edinburgh branch of Debenhams is representative of the company as a whole, it's had the stench of death for some time. If we're ever passing my friend and I make a point of going in to marvel and laugh at their horrendous offerings. Jacques Vert (mother of the bride clothes) and Star by Julian Macdonald (trashy Footballers' Wives-style 'glamour') are two of our favourite lines. The menswear floor is utterly depressing. A basement full of ugly, ill-fitting shirts and jeans for 50-plus men to potter about in on the golf course or at the garden centre, Pringle socks for their uninspired wives to buy at Christmas and hilariously out of place Calvin Klein pants. House of Fraser is similar, with the added bonus of seemingly trying to eliminate as much natural light from the shop as possible and cram as much merchandise in the smallest amount of floorspace as they can. To make things worse they bought up Jenners, the Scottish equivalent of Harrods, about 15 years ago and have turned it into a clone, so that it doesn't appeal to the former high-end customer base or the middle and lower tiers.
