I was reading about Mad Mike's disastrous attempt at overthrowing the government of the Seychelles. Apparently one of his cohort, with a suitcase full of guns, accidently walked through the 'something to declare' aisle at the airport. His stash of weaponry was promptly found, leading to a subsequent firefight started by other members of Hoare's team. Then they all hijacked a plane and flew back home again Beats office work, I suppose.

I am very pleased in the interest in my avatar, which the late great Dr.Zorders referred to as 'the best avatar' on the site. Or summat. I apologize for not noticing the theft, well done Cat. Actually this reminds me of a stunt I pulled on FB, going into someone's photos and pasting their photo as mine and then posting something on their wall. Oh the amusement never ended. I figured we could all do that and render FB meaningless (well, MORE meaningless) SC

Missouri wildlife officials are reporting a sad ending to a month-long effort to capture a wild turkey that had its own Facebook page with more than 4,000 followers. The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that the bird, which became known as Tina the urban turkey, was struck and killed Friday morning after wandering onto a Columbia road. Tina was known for approaching people and sometimes blocking traffic. SC

I'm afraid not. The baby that stood in for child Sgt Benton in The Time Monster when he regresses died a few weeks after filming according to the DVD commentary. (Can't mind anyone else that young, though Simon Gipps-Kent, Dursley McLinden and her off Curse of Fenric all died in their 20s.) Also the Princess in Delta and the Bannerman was believed to be a case of this, but then showed up alive again few years back. Dr Who fans are very keen to bump off actors prematurely see Kevin Stoney, Andre Maranne and many others.

This week: Lord Carrington; Karen Finch; Claude Lanzmann; Harlan Ellison. Tune in and enjoy the show.

I can't speak to Jock Scot, ..... but Butts presently has a single obit across the entire globe, and that from the Isle of Ibiza. After two weeks. How does that translate to an eventual QO? He was barely anyone of note anyway, quite honestly. But for him having the luxury of being born British, his chances would be nil. And that luxury I'll say is worth 3% at this point. I only say that to cover me arse.

Ha yes, Norton's gdamn Anthology. I do know it well. We need the Nortons Spade mentioned to drop over, and what with two of them late 80s, could happen.

Ntongani Lucia, the widow of legendary entertainer Safirio Madzikatire popularly known as Mukadota has died. If that sentence means anything to you, I feel your pain. Otherwise, you're looking at the entire story. No age, no cause of death, no nothing. SC

Butts isn't getting an obit. Get over it.

You are right about Kit + NYT. Astonishing imho. It will remain the low point for obituary writers in 2018. Indefensible nonfeasance.

Oh I understand. it was a heads up. Zero percent (0%) chance he is a Barys Kit. Or....IS he.......

Thanks to Toys R Us going belly up and this gdamn thing being 50% off, and me eye balling it for years....now all my free time is spent getting me arse kicked by this thing. Great way to waste time, while waiting for death.

Get drunk and go to the loo. When you gotta go, you gotta go. In more ways than one.

Come to an agreement on what to watch on the telly.

If you must smoke, Vape. Pretty sure (outside of Sicily) no one has ever died from an exploding fag.

Play Hide-and-Seek.

Watch your grandfather get the family barbecue under way. Grandma: "Well don't just sit there, grab the BBQ sauce and a brush and GET OUT THERE!"

Go to court to prove you’re alive......and lose.

I hope he hits 110

Teach your 22-year old who hates you a lesson.
