    New Barry Cryer thread merged with perfectly suitable thread which has existed for the last thirteen years!

    [Barry Cryer] Getting on. 85. Missing a lot of "I am sorry I haven't a clue" episodes. Noticeable by his absence.  Basically on his last legs.

    Manson Family member Leslie van Houten`s bid for freedom was rejected by Govenor Brown on the 19th of January 2018. She is up for review again already in March 2019. Tax payers get to pay and pay and pay for these lawyers......

    Not a looker, but has she done a calendar? Must be some money in that somewhere.

    Update, the family are suing the council and expected to win compensation.

     

    Still think that it's a parental role rather than the council's to drill into the kids not to go playing in the crumbling public access graveyard, in the same way you'd tell them not to play near the railway line or motorway within 2 minutes walk, tbh. But that's just me.

    Aye. Whining little fuckers. Nowt wrong wit tramlines. Get run over once a week and still got a pension out of it. Wankers.
