  1. OK then Guest, Reagan was not an idiot and his selling arms to Iran, a regime commited to the downfall of Western values, was a tactical masterstroke which has led to eternal peace and prosperity in the Middle East.

     

    If we may not speak ill of the dead, then howsabout saying that Vlad the Impaler was a decent chap, Hitler was kind to animals and Fred West was a bundle of laughs if you got to knew him.

     

    Nope, doesn't work does it.


  2. Fascinating bit of Benelux royal trivia there. I'd never have found that out otherwise. I shall use it during my next 'Come as your favourite European aristocrat' party next week. i'm going as Prince Alois of Liechtenstein (again)


  3. An aquaintance from Nottingham Police once told me that they used to have a seepstake to guess the difference between declared attendance at Forest home games and the real figure. Apparently this was often out by 25%, leaving a small fortune in ready cash for Mr C


  4. While in France for a medical check-up, he broke his femur by slipping in a bathroom, June 21, 2003. Rumors of his death followed both in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In an October 2002 visit to France, he had also slipped in a bathroom, bruising his ribs.

  5. Alu Alkhanov,

     

    The newly elected president of Chechnya. Given that 3 of his precedents have been assassinated and one is in hiding, his chances of surviving to a healthy old age are to be frank, fairly poor.

     

    Mr Alkhanov, a former interior minister, told the news agency Itar-Tass after hearing the initial results: "I feel an enormous burden of responsibility. I feel no euphoria. There is a clear understanding that a lot of hard work is ahead."

     

    Mr Maskhadov has vowed to kill the winner of the vote. Mr Alkhanov dismissed the idea of negotiations with Mr Maskhadov as "not necessary", according to Interfax yesterday.

     

    Hmm, no euphoria. Wonder why not.
