Anubis the Jackal

Scotty makes old bones.

Uh-oh, unanimous 'nice-guy' thread alert. See also Pete McCarthy

Goodness gracious, that's an extreme reaction to a weather forecast. Mind you, that Ian Macaskill.... excuse me... ahem..you weren't thinking of 'Mad' Lizzie Webb were you?

You'd have to ask an astrologer, not an astromoner.

Bill Brown The last survivor of an Australian team to have lost at Lords (cricket ground) "Brown is the fourth-oldest Test cricketer, behind the New Zealanders Eric Tindill and Jack Kerr (both 94) and South African Norman Gordon (93). A very correct player, he averaged 46.82 from 22 Tests and 51.44 in first-class cricket. "I nearly came to England but my ticker plays up a bit. I will be watching, though. I don't know why England don't do better at Lord's. I think it's a combination of things but playing there lifts everyone."

Uh-oh, tautology alert!

No doubt the world stopped turning on its' axis for a second there.

NO, WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW? DID SHE LIVE NEAR THE LATE EDWARD HEATH? IN BEXLEYHEATH?

In the same spirit that caused a group of Welsh to beat up a paediatrician under the misapprehension that he was a paedeophile, I wonder how long it will be before someone gets the wrong end of the stick and beats the living daylights out of a group of Yorkshire Terriers?

OK, everybody stop hmmm-ing RIGHT NOW!! I was only wondering if his music was some kind of weird substitute for sex. And there was I thinking you were accusing the ex-PM of being a buggerist.

Hmmmmm And just what are you Hmmm-ing for? Do you have something you want to share with the rest of us? I was hoping someone might share something with me.... Lifelong bachelor you say? Hmmmmm.

Laurel Aitken Ska Pioneer, and nice old boy...

Shame his death wasn't more violent, we could have had 'Blasted Heath'

Nasty. A man has died after apparently engaging in anal sex with a horse at a farm in Seattle, Washington. An autopsy revealed that the man, who has not been named, died due to perforation of the colon, said Sgt John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff's department. Washington is one of 17 US states where sex with animals is not illegal, though sex with smaller animals can be deemed to be a form of animal cruelty which is a crime. A police spokesman said the horse involved in the incident was not harmed.

Let's not wake the mods and see how long we can sustain it! mmphhww..argghlle..Hey...what...do you mind, it's only just gone noon.

This team is named "Impaled On The Antlers Of Doom" Is this your team Anubis the Jackal? Currently =18th with 17pts it is a bit more mid table than my entry sat in =42nd place with the Rude Kid himself on just 13 points, but then IotAoD has already used the joker to fair effect. Not my team, I passed on this one (i.e.forgot about it until too late)

He had a "private funeral" (does that mean no-one turned up?) and there will be a memorial service in September Can't wait to see his tomb stone - its bound to be Countdown related in some way. 'Here rests RWHHCDIEEYLRTAI'. (Could this become a cheap spin off of the anagram thread?) Wry death, rich lie. Is there a message here? A Reggie Perrin style disappearance perhaps?

But he is in goold health for his age, still working on theater plays I believe. So certainly not checkmate yet...

Not necessarily, merely placed out of harms way like my mother used to do with my air rifle. (p.s. If you really want to find it, try looking at the back of my mums cupboard, just behind the coats...)

Mr McGowan has his own thread here

I once had a discussion with Dave Vanian about having kids and living in Harrow. Ah God bless The Damned and their suburban ways.

Was that Crimewatch by any chance?

Grooming too? It's the 'Naughty Man' register for you Sir, and no mistake.

That's 2 years inside, I'd have thought.
