Sly Ronnie

Would be ironic if Shane Macgowan were to follow seeing as Ackland was in the video of the single which beat the Pogues to the punch in Xmas '87!* *PSB won the battle but the Pogues definitely won the war though.

Rex Williams would be a suitably Ronniesque name to add to the pot.

Surely Jimmy's gonna do a Debbie Reynolds?

Time to pay!

Well that was piss!

Agreed. He looks like what he is: an old, retired Doctor.

So was I. A huge loss to political discourse in the New Labour era.

One thinks of previous eras when familiar faces on election night fail to reach the start line for the next one. Richard Dimbleby died a few months shy of the 1966 election and swingometer king Robert Mackenzie died between the 79 and 83 elections.

Been looking in Youtube recently and Sir John still looks very gaunt and seems to be speaking from home a lot. Definitely something up, I'd say.

Seeing as she had a face like a slapped arse I would say that she did.

No, I think you should withdraw your team, resign from your post as host and jump off a cliff. Nah, only kidding, stick him in, I've got him as well so we can both suffer his success!

I've always thought Sunny Jim was a tad underrated as PM. Yes there was the dreaded "Winter of Discontent" but I put that squarely on the Unions. They just didn't see the wider picture. I'm all for worker's pay and rights being up to scratch but what they did was plain bloody stupid when it looked like things were turning around. Saying that, for the counter-argument that the Unions were "all powerful" back then, I've always said that if the Unions were that powerful, there wouldn't have been any strikes. They would have got what they wanted. But, would they have then wanted more? The Winter of Discontent was a public sector strike and the employers were...the Government! This argument could go on all day.

Can't top this lad though... Chancellor of the Exchequer 1964-67, Home Secretary 1967-70, Foreign Secretary 1974--76, Prime Minister 1976-79

We do have a modern day Guido Fawkes, problem is he's an Irish facsist.

Matt Taylor Sacked by Rotherham.

I thought there were 45 million British voters, not one. Who is the voter, Edmund Blackadder?

Yup. It's like asking the man who demolished your house to come back and do a bit of bricklaying....and he's never seen a brick in his life!

First time this has happened since Alex Douglas-Home in 1970: Ex-PM becomes Foreign Secretary. Definite mone towards the centre ground I'd say.

Doubt it - he hated Charlton, believing that he was instrumental in his sacking in 1986.

Neil Young turns 78 today.

Not only will gets to eat dingo dongers it will be foreign dingo dongers!

Willard Manus who wrote the 1966 novel Mott the Hoople, thus giving the 1970s glam rock band their name, died in January aged 92.

What do you call a judge without any thumbs? Justice Fingers! I am available for children's parties and Bar Mitzvah's.
