There are a number on here who work in or around the media, as I think has been mentioned before...

This is great. I think I'll order Jesus & Pope JP2 as well. Now all we need is one of Mohammad and we're sorted Now that would cause all out war Unless you mean Mohammed Al-Fayed. Now that would be an annoying toy.

I'll eat a tangerine in his memory. The headline on that BBC story reminds me of the classic (but so far fictional) "Police Probe Leeds Girl's Snatch"

Depends how crude you want it. Check it soon.

It doesn't matter. I'm just pointing out how outrageous it was that all he never got a knighthood, but only an OBE. Lazy journos always get it wrong, as do current footballers.

Is that the same Bobby Moore who was never given a knighthood?!?

Stacy Kiebler, hey.. Is she still with the WWE?

I presume you mean Chris Lowe? A quick question about the PSBs, are they both friends of Dorothy, or is it just Neil Tennant?

You've got to love the Daily Record.

But that quote from The Times isn't true - it turned out he was only about 28 stone, I seem to recall.

Hmm, thought it was him! He was featured on a programme shown last year, where he an a younger guy were vying for the "Britain's fattest man" title? I seemed to recall that the conclusion was that the younger guy weighed more than him, and he was really pissed off by this and refused to accept it. Have I got this wrong? Has the younger guy died or gone on a diet? We need to be told!!! Are "fattest" and "heaviest" the same thing - the latter would appear to be more definitive - discuss. Hopefully someone can enlighten me by the time I get back from the chippy with my jumbo fish and chips! You're right - the bloke pictured is called Jack and referred to his hairpiece as "Jack's Creation". He lived in a grim flat and kept his dead mother's room as a shrine to her etc. When he was weighed, he didn't weigh as much as he thought and started swearing at the TV crews for rigging the scales. Must be one of the greatest fly-on-the-walls of all time.

I have had a cup of tea with Cherie Blair in 10 Downing Street back in 2000. It wasn't great - she'd just given birth to Leo and the veins on her head were all over the place. Oh, and Paddy Ashdown walked into me with a cream cake on one of the balconies looking over the Thames from the Houses of Parliament. On a lesser scales, also had lunch with Toyah Wilcox and Jack Ryder (Jamie from EastEnders). Ryder was a complete ass. Oh, and played in a charity football match in a Celebrity XI v Whitstable Town XI to raise money for a health care campaign charity. Only real celeb was former England cricketer Dean Headley, who refused to smoke a roll-up at half-time because he considered it below him. Whitstable Town XI won either 5-4 or 4-3, I can't remember.

I agree, Wiki is a sham and too many people are too stupid to do anything other than take it at face value. It's heavily weighted to the Liberal-left, too.

Sorry, that's what I was trying to point out - ie that people cling to the idea of a supreme being because if you look at the Universe from a purely scientific point of view everyone might as well die now.

And this is always going to be the case because 99.99% of people in the world, etc, will live pointless lives it you look at it from outside this mortal coil. In terms of the Universe, we are all pointless because nothing we ever do will have a truly permanent impact.

Humanity already has latched on to something else - the acquisition of wealth.

Agreed, but I hope this all goes further than freedom speech. Hopefully, people will start asking questions about whether religion has any point in the modern world. From an athiest point of view, it seems crazy that so much outrage can be created by pictures of some bloke who may or may not have existed 1,500 years ago. Are we really still at the stage where we believe in fables, old wives tales and legends? Surely not, and the world would be better if the sham of religion was nothing but a distant memory of a time when we thought the Earth was flat, etc.

The so-called rule that Mohammend cannot be depicted also extends to Jesus - as the rule covers all the Prophets of Islam (although it is not mentioned at all in the Koran, nor is the Hidden Prophet that the current Iranian President seems to believe in). And, back to the main point, surely the world has gone mad if an editor has to check whether all articles in his newspaper confirm to "laws of religion". Oh how I'd be outraged if the editor of a national paper in the UK joked about coveting his neighbour's ox!

Not to worry, it was merely a picture of Ariel Sharon goosestepping next to Hitler. Just pointing out that I would feel somewhat hard done by my country was taken over by a group of foreigners because some ancient book said that was meant to be. And before anyone moans this is not an anti-jewish comment but an anti-Israel comments - there is a big difference.

Mr Dunn is very much alive. Although his eye difficulties have not been reported on since the original mention.

Technically we have the Big Poof, Sir Edward Heath, to blame for that.

Surely she would have preferred "authoress"

Is a dead winer anything like a dead wino? Or is a winer someone who dies after their feet rot following a lifetime of trampling grapes, I wonder?

I'm sure they would if members showed a basic ability to spell.
