I personally think Phil died some time ago but nobody told him. He's got to be a zombie and a good candidate for the next season of the Walking Dead!

Make Kim Jong-Un the next Time's Man of the Year - then he can compare himself to another despot.

Bill Paxton might get the honour.

Can tell this is a UK site... so many whingers ... I'm an ex-pom by the way (and the lobotomy scars healed ages ago). I think the new good features outweigh the loss of things like square avatar photos.

If king fatty the third kills of all of his family he'll end up feeling sooooo ronrey

Diamonds are Forever

for those 'alleged', 'formerly alleged', and totally 'not guilty' should we not add Jim Davidson to the list?

My first hit of the year... I'm feeling smug that I've beaten the official DL off the blocks for the past three years running . Oh, and condolences to the Soares family.
