I try to pick my battles. At the moment I am waging war against "ATM machine", "hot water heater", and "today's soup du jour".

IP address definitely not from Tibet.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who thought Macaulay Culkin’s character in Home Alone every time I see his name.

No one has raged here about Americans saying they "could care less" when they mean the opposite. So I will.

Lloyd Bridges picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue 20 years ago, aged 85.

Well, now in jail for fraud with his hedge funds. Top target for the next seven years for anyone who suffered from his pill price rise. Worth $70m too, so another reason he might not last.

As an unashamedly poncy, middle class, Southern-English grammar nazi, this one gets right on my tit ends.

As I said in "Ideas and Possibilities for 2018" last year.... And this suggests those who listened to me could be heading to the pay window soon:

Kennedy points nullified. No sub as first notice of death was on the 3rd of the month, and this is now the 10th. That's luck (or not) for you.

It would fit as a ridiculous argument but Cat is right. There's a more specific thread.

I am enjoying 'American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace'. Although it feels wrong to enjoy because it's true, and real people were murdered. However I am loving the sheer campness of everything, the gay clubs, the music ... . And the guy who plays the serial killer is absolutely mesmerising. Penelope Cruz is a bit shit as Donatella though - thick non-Italian accent, can hardly understand a word she says.

He would have some of his moments but it seems he has gotten progressively worse over time. I remember he kept on spamming "user name is a cunt" until he got banned for a week.

Wong Chow calls into work and says, I no come work today, I really sick. Got headache, stomach ache and legs hurt, I no come work. The boss says, You know something, Wong Chow, I really need you today. When I feel sick like you do, I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex. That makes everything better and I go to work. You try that. Two hours later Wong Chow calls again. I do what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon. You got nice house.

Once worked with two men who ended up being pre-school teachers. Their argument was about: Whose college major was best? Philosophy or Psychology? (Better than women`s and gender studies though. ) After the argument they didn`t speak to each other for weeks.

Essentially, yeah. Or, to try and put it slightly more clearly in Leah's inimitable prosy style: I was lying in my Shaman friend's tipi enrobed in rags stylish looking like a fucking 15th century clairvoyant then he came in found me composing my shit told me impassioned let's perform carnal happy fun times neath the scintillating night sky stars glistening glimmering dancing spectating the bloody perverts behold we connect like Katie Hopkins that time with her ex in that field fear rises in my belly hoping no one nearby is brandishing a camera

Okay I admit it, this is bothering me. I presume that this is instructions to a woman from a man. Also I presume that the word 'heals' is simply atrocious spelling and the correct word intended is 'heels'. But then I imagine being a woman lying on her back trying to point her heels at Jesus (who again I presume is in heaven) and I worry that my wife is simply not flexible enough. (plus I presume that in the final line the reference to handbags the intention is not to link the fact that the bottom of a handbag has more germs on it than a dog's anus). So much to think about in three lines it's ruining my afternoon at work.

Convicted, life will mean life. I doubt he'll last long, one way or another. Life will also mean some more intrusion by the police, who have this nagging feeling that the largely unknown periods of his life in the late seventies and the unexplained vanishing of a few young ladies at the time may be linked. That'll do nowt for his health either. Not just the 1970’s but the 1960’s too. He’s in the frame for the Bible John series of murders in 1968/69, possibly Glasgow’s most famous unsolved murder cases. I certainly can remember knowing about Bible John as far back as 1972/3 when I was 5 . He was the bogeyman to us kids and was often mentioned in the school playground, quite understandable as the last murder he committed was about a mile away from where I grew up. Should Tobin manage to get murdered in prison next Friday he'll score me 19 points in the DDP, catapulting me into the top 100, unlikely I know, but perhaps I should be sending Xmas presents to the other inmates in HMP Peterhead..... Scotland seems to have produced a few of the UK's worst serial killers - Peter Manuel, Ian Brady, Dennis Nilsen, Robert Black and now Peter Tobin, of whom only Peter Manuel is dead, having been hanged in HMP Barlinnie in 1958. Another possibility is Angus Robertson Sinclair, a suspected serial killer who has only been convicted of 2 murders; police are convinced he has committed many more. There was an interesting, if a bit sensationalised, documentary on BBC2 last week about him. He is due for parole in 2016 and the powers that be do not want him released as everything points to the certainty of him re-offending. They are desperately trying to find a way to retry him for the notorious World's End murder case - his original trial for that collapsed on a technicality. He is the reason for the current review of Scotland's Double Jeopardy legislation. If this fails, he may well find himself transferred back into the general prison population as his parole date nears. He's been convicted of 11 child sex assaults and has admitted that he has committed many more, possibly hundreds, this will hardly make him popular among the 'hard men' in the Bar-L or Saughton and he may find himself the victim of a ‘Jeffrey Dahmer style’ accident.
