Don't like your sarcasm there Tempus Fugit. There are many people i'd like to meet and I suppose I would have liked to meet John Lennon is the flesh. No, I lost respect for Lennon when he changed his middle name from Winston to Ono.

I'm sure this thead is now so far off topic that it's more of a snickers.

Yes, John "Earthquake" Tenta is fighting cancer and only has a 20% chance of survival. I like those odds...

That's why we need to invade Iran... sh*t in Iran

It's a shame to hear about Freddie Laker, but I thought I would share a few stories about him with you all. I went to the same school as he did, in Canterbury, Kent - although a few years later. His name was on the honours board but no-one really talked about him, which seemed a bit odd. So one day we asked why. It turned out he was a tear-away at school and was kicked out at 13. Just before he left, he was called into the headmaster's office. The head told young Freddie that he had thrown his life away, and asked what he was going to do with himself. Freddie replied: "I am going to make a million pounds." The head snapped and threw him out for not respecting his elders. The last thing he shouted was "you'll never amount to anything, Laker!" Of course, he made the first chunk of his money in a pretty controversial way, it must be said. When the RAF were desperate for planes to take part in the Berlin air-lift, Laker held them to ransom and charged them ludicrously high amounts to use his aircraft as they couldn't refuse.

Thought you might enjoy the below exchange that I found.

There only going to turn the F*****g thing into a Real book!!! The world's gone mad.

I have a problem with Canada. America has Americans But Canada has CanadIans Surely, either Canada should be Canadia or Canadians should be Canadans?

Enough with the scat already! Some people just can't get enough... well, I suppose Himler is german, right? That's a pretty shocking site. Well, I thought I would be shocked but I'm engulfed by a slightly different emotion...

I've got a strange feeling it won't come to that. I envisage a Goering situation, in that he'll be "allowed" to top himself first.

Sorry if you've seen this.

Who is the Gretnagod who started the article. tried to get it banned, tried to save it and is now trying to restore it??? It's all a bit strange. I blame Himler.

Isn't it Maidenhead in Berkshire and Maidstone in Kent? Still won't find a virgin in Kent though! Particulary in the Dartford area. I'm an east Kenter so I have no idea!

Geldof lives less than a 10-mnute drive away from me, in Faversham - home of Spitfire creators Shepherd Neame. Perhaps I'll ask him. He's always polite when he's out and about, and always says hello.

Now that is very Kinksy!

I have heard that too, and am tempted to believe it. Given the sort of people he probably has visiting his flat, it wouldn't be all that suprising. I've also heard that he had his liver checked in 2001 and he had the liver of a 12-year-old (human, not single malt) so he's in pretty good order.

Edit Wiki. No. I just enjoy reading the Clive Dunn discussion page. The row abou the £1-a-bottle wine is rather amusing.

Someone should delete it immediately. Where's Canadian Paul when you need him? Or, Dr H, do you do things like this? I'm not going to incriminate myself that quickly, without clarification!!! What do you mean by the word "this"?

Agree entirely. But Wiki seems to be controlled by a small grounp. It's almost masonic. Tubal Cain here we come...

Something should be done. But I'm not sure what that "something" should be. If enough people were to want to "sort" Wiki out, then it could be done. It would have to be an amusing attack, rather than a damaging one, so if anyone has ideas then please share them.

How about a cartoon protest?

It probably will happen - because this row is not about cartoons but about the domination of a culture. Then again, wasn't it always going to happen as soon as the State of Israel was created? The UK must take a lot of the blame for the Middle East, in fact the person who drew many of the "lines in the desert" after WWI was none other than Winston Churchill, during his Liberal phase.

Removing this while I still can in case Gary Lineker sees it...

And I've never fully recovered from watching the Life of Brian. It gave me the sudden urge to don a fake suicide vest and march through London shouting death threats at everyone. Hmm..

The UK hasn't been a Christian society for decades, we're an agnostic society. Agreed. And we're barely a society at all, in the conventional sense, any more.
