FFS. Thanks so much for that delightful mental image...

I’m into conspiracy theory as much as the next person, but people must be either mad or crazily naive to think Harry didn’t have a DNA test as soon as he was born - no WAY would the Royal Family have accepted a baby born as the result of an affair to be so close to the crown (remember Harry was third in line when he was born, if William had died early he’d have been the actual heir). If anything other than Charles’ DNA showed up Harry would have been toast and the first and last we would have heard would have been about a tragic royal stillbirth. Anyway, take away the not-quite-all-there dozy look Harry has and the (Spencer) ginger hair and he looks a lot like Phillip and Charles...

Going for Leah for the simple reason she’s gone so quiet - her character Zoe also got a little mention in an Emmerdale episode last week which is unusual for that soap as characters who leave tend to never be mentioned again...

As a Villa fan this one has really shocked me, very sad

I’m gobsmacked every time I hear/remember Stanley Baxter is still alive

Just read in a tweet from Sky News that Barbara Windsor has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. The diagnosis was four years ago and according to her hubby has been managed with meds since then, in recent weeks her ‘memory loss and confusion have grown worse’ though...

Unnamed ‘friends’ say Fergie is awake and talking to doctors - nothing official though http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5701063/Alex-Ferguson-talking-doctors-results-Salford-Hospital-brain-haemorrhage.html

Personally the only interesting thing for me about the ongoing 24-hour borefest that is ‘Harrys wedding’ is whether Prince Phillip will be there. He’s supposed to be very close to William and Harry, if it really IS just old age hip trouble then he’ll be there - he’s more or less the frigging king, even if he’s too embarrassed to use sticks/a wheelchair then I’m sure there are 100 ways the Royal family could get him into the church without him being seen (or being seen to struggle at least). If he’s not there then I think he’s on the way out even as we speak.

Australian actress Cathy Godbold has died after suffering from a brain tumour for ten years. Must admit her name didn’t mean anything to me but I remember her dying on the beach in Home and Away with Blake back in the 90s. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5693751/Tragedy-Saddle-Club-Home-Away-actress-Cathy-Godbold-dies.html

Could have sworn he died a couple of years back...

Going with suicide personally. Really sad news

Looking rough as fuck for Aintree ‘Ladies’ Day...

As a total anti-royalist I’ve got to say PLEASE Racist-Phil do NOT die tomorrow (it’s the anniversary my dad died and I would hate him to share it with this chinless parasite...). Or, on a lighter note, the things people do to get out of a wedding!

Shit, sorry, sorry - just posted this in another thread and now can’t work out how to delete my 4 hours late post!

All round disgusting human being Benjamin Netanyahu has been in hospital for tests following a very high fever and a cough. Let’s hope it’s not Ebola, eh?

Thanking you! I don’t think the phrase ‘corpsey status’ will be out of my head for a while...

Is this one still running for 2018/19?

Just heard on the radio that Phillip won’t be there tomorrow to hand over the role of Colonel of the Grenadier Guards to son Andrew due to being ‘under the weather’ - Buckingham Palace are apparently refusing to comment on the Duke’s health. No link for source, not even sure what radio channel I heard it on tbh although was a press preview kinda segment so sure it’ll be in one of the papers. Edit: The good old Hate-Mail has it http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5533857/Unwell-Prince-Philip-pulls-rare-public-engagement.html

Cremated yesterday apparently (photo from Daily Mail)

Carlton Gary (aka The Stocking Strangler) executed on Thursday in Columbus, Georgia. Big question marks over his guilt, allegedly DNA results 'prove' he couldn't have been the killer but these were sat on by the legal beagles - also the footprints at the crime scene were a size 9 whereas Gary had whopping size 14 feet. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5513621/Injustice-lethal-injection.html

Totally disagree. I'm a 5ft-nothing mum of four - cunt has an AMAZING effect on anyone who is being, well, a cunt while I'm out and about. Grown men have stopped their silliness and looked at me with open gobs when I've let fly with a daintily worded 'fuck off you cunt'. Sometimes I say 'prick' but usually 'cunt' is the one I pull out of the bag...

*waves* Thanks for the welcomes! You can buy the mould for the skull fried eggs on Amazon (UK anyway) - not bought one myself as I don't really do fried eggs, but it's very cool...

His wife wrote on Facebook that he will 'have to' undergo chemo so I'm guessing he's been told he doesn't have long at all without it - what you say when you think you're all better I'd imagine is totally different to what you do when told you're actually going to die sharpish. I'm really sad about Stefan Karl, my daughter was a huge LazyTown fan when she was a tot - I was amazed when I saw a photo of him these years later that he's such a fanciable bloke, now I've seen him without the chin!

Just for reference, a conspiracy theory forum I mooch on is half convinced John McCain doesn't have cancer at all. I'm reserving judgement but apparently his 'hurt leg boot' (whatever you call the thing) has mysteriously swapped from one leg to the other - people are wondering if he's not ill at all and the boot is actually hiding an ankle tag bracelet. Terminal cancer would apparently be a good way to avoid awkward questions about his naughtiness in the past. Just putting it out there!
