    And now out and about chillin at the golf course. Admitted to having 'the worst lifestyle possible" so this was a warning to him, and he is changing his ways. We shall see.SC http://www.u.tv/News/2015/05/30/Peter-Robinson-attends-Irish-Open-38157 3 stents? Within the week? When I had my minor heart attack in January, it was March before they offered me even an investigation as to whether to get a stent. (I declined, I had a premonition that I would take an allergic reaction to the stuff they put through you). He's on my DDP list now, the privileged so-and-so, quicker you get your stents, quicker they fur up imho! Enjoy being added to DDP next year!

    If true, a crying shame. I remember him from Tutti Frutti in particular, but he always seems to have been around. I used to know the girl that played his still game onscreen wife, and she would talk about having to go to his local in Kilmarnock so they could appear as a couple It's confirmed. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/still-game-stars-lead-tributes-5789769 RIP Jake.

    There's a report here of his death. I'd rather await something more substantial to confirm. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/05/29/hollywood-filmmaker-who-made-a-positive-impact-in-our-culture-for-christ-dies-his-legacy-will-continue-to-influence-the-world/ Looks like his death is confirmed.

    Sepp Blatter

    He has to deal with sponsorship issues, political pressure, the legal authorities and try and root out corruption (if he is so minded). Came across this little gem when I was reading Plato on the loo the other day: "Take a doctor who has been given the entire body to treat. Will he ever get good results if he neglects the individual limbs and tiny parts in spite of being willing and able to look after the major organs?...Nor yet will helmsmen or generals, not statesmen or anybody of that ilk, succeed in major day-to-day matters if they neglect occasional details." The Laws The strain of juggling everything he has to, I expect no more than a year or two.
