I could make a number of comments, but it would be too easy..

Suggestion is yes. She's apparently in a relationship with the woman she beat for her first gold medal. Ie this:

Impressed by the article in the Sun, it has the highest circulation of any English language paper in the world. And old Dunny gets a mention - why do I suspect members of this august list had something to do with the piece. Oh, and Rupert Murdoch says hi

I would love to know how the show was cancelled in 1984 as most of the cast were dead by then... It ran from 1968-1977.

Either way, a world divided up between the British Empire, a Greater Germany and the USA may well have turned out better than what we've got today. Ooh, controversial remarks - is there anything better.

To find out soon-to-be deaths all we need to do is find the booking schedule for this place. Should be easy!!! Rent-a-suicide Suicide...illegal in Britain until the 1960s!

Possible yes, but strangely enough the few spammers we've had here (they were dealt with PDQ) tried to flog porn or Nazi propaganda. Middle managenent now takes you back to our scheduled flaming, Hein Was that horse-flogging porn? I haven't seen any of that for a while - then again it does cost a lot. Sometimes I think I will meet my maker while watching that sort of film, one hand on the remote, the other....

Okay, this isn't a death as such - but it is the greatest headline ever written. Banana sentenced for gay assault "Although Mr Banana has denied being gay, his defence lawyers argued during the trial that consensual sodomy should no longer be considered a crime." And that is the greatest paragraph ever written by the BBC.

If anyone publishes a picture that big again I'll....publish a picture of myself naked. Really, I will. I warn you all.

Now we've heard of celebs dying while having sex with someone/thing else. But what about male celebs who have been caught in the act of, a-hem, Onanism. Or for the female celebs, tickling the kipper (thanks to Two Pints...for that one)? Personally, I reckon Princess Di was giving head when the car crashed - that's why she didn't have her seatbelt on. Stick that up your conspiracy theory!

The word Conservative - now that's changed it's meaning in British politics recently. I was the first to moan when "New" Labour stole the centre ground in the mid-90s to win the 1997 election, but surely David "Call me Dave" Cameron can do better than copy Tony Blair. The Tory Party, for all their faults, are an iconically British institution. If they go over to the bleeding-heart liberal brigade, this country hasn't got much of a future to look forward to. Perhaps I'll be going to Canada soon!

All I was highlighting is that, despite the most advance security in the world, our senior public figures have to give people prior notification of where they are going to be for publicity reasons. It would take a pretty impressive body guard to stop a bullet, so it's down the the intelligence agency to find a preventative measure, not a cure. If the CIA/MI5 want to bug my phone, then they are welcome. All they will find is the occassion order for a takeaway and some lovey-dovey talk - hardly revolutionary.

It is hard for us Brits to understand Canadian politics. The main reason for this is the reliance on coalitions, as our first-past-the-post system normally results in an outright majority. The other issue is the Liberal/Conservative split - North American politics have always shyed away from anything that is seen openly as left-wing. But, most importantly, is the two nations within a nation issue - ie the English and the French, if you will. And, of course, we in Britain are still coming to terms with our relationship between the EU compared to the old dominions. Personally, I think Canada will be fine - changes are always needed, as our Labour Government will find out in 2009/10.

I've not been charging about. I just happen to want to add opinions to current threads... And I have, for my sins, a memory that can switch between threads fairly easily.

Reg Varney is very, very ill. He's been licking windows in an old people's home for the past 20 years or so. I presume he spends his day dribbling and soiling himself. A sad end for a great comic actor.

It's in this forum. But here you go: Death Clock

You mean never let a horse have sex with you. There is a difference (of a few inches, anyway).

But lesbians live longer. Kelly Holmes will be around well into her 90s...

Dick Doll? Can men claim that when they're not getting any in the bedroom?

You can't beat Babel fish. Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy, is there anything finer?

If this is true then it's one of the best deaths in history. "The most notorious case of in delicato flagranto morto allegedly occurred in 1899: The President of France died while receiving oral gratification. When Mademoiselle realized Monsieur was stiff for all the wrong reasons, she panicked, suffered trauma-induced lockjaw, and was rushed hospital where she had to be pried from the penis of le President."

If you type in I'd like to see Bill Gates dead in the US Englsh word theasarus from a few years ago, you get "I'll drink to that" as the response. Not that it's all that interesting, mind. Windsor the Troll as good google though.

Any chance of sharing the translation?

I think he'll live to a good old age, like John Profumo has since the Christine Keeler scandal in the 1960s. And Jeremy Thorpe, come to think of it. Archer'll still be shooting his arrows in 20 years or so.

Great hairstyle - that really is the best line ever. But it won't save him when the old death-rattle starts. "Oh my God, it's Earth."
