At the risk of either incurring someone's wrath, or looking like a dunce, what exactly is post-whoring? Is it like posting random crap that's not related to the topic or something?

Blimey, I'm genuinely shocked. Suicide perhaps? I feel a bit sad for the little baby girl though.

-27c. That's neat weather. Makes our -1 with snowfall this morning seem a bit puny. Still, just enough for a good sledge on Box Hill before the rain came. I thought it would be empty but it was like student city: all these kids who should have been working. I was working, I should add for anyone who might have caught a whiff of hypocrisy. It was thinking time. The one in Wiltshire? I be just down the road.

Then why mention it? Because it might be of interest to someone else perhaps?

You've got the http:// in twice. I've left it on your post, but corrected it on this post. Would you prefer me to correct yours? Ah right, thanks for that. I knew it would be something simple that I had missed, I'm very much a technodunce. I'll go and have another play and see if I can get it right next time.

Is it because I am using Firefox, or is it because I am thick and doing it wrong? Here's an example That should be a link to Pedro Knight's death. But when I click it it goes to a page of guff.

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/16618059.htm Pedro Knight dead. Never heard of him.

I taught a lad called Constantine, he used to get called Tino. His brother was called Franzsiskus, he called Franz. I don't why they didn't just name him Franz to start off with. It drives me mad when my mum calls me Ana. If she'd wanted to call me that why not name me that and not Andrea? I agree. I work in the old people sector, and loads of them have completely different names to what they were born with, for instance they will say 'my name's Dorothy but I'm known as Peg'. Why? Peg is nothing like Dorothy. And a friend of mine has two sons who she calls by their middle names, if she wanted to call them their middle names, why not just make them the first names? My favourite old people's names are from father's who really wanted a son badly but got a daughter. For example - Williamina and Andrewina (Minnie and Ina). Why? Another one would be Constance (Connie) That's a bit like me - my dad's name is Stephen and I got the middle name Stephanie, although I suppose it's not as bad as Andrewina or Nigella. And along those lines, I always cringe at I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here loser Malandra Burrows' name - a mixture of her dad Malcolm and mum Sandra. How vile.

Heather? Is that you? I went to school with someone who looke like a brunette Mavis Cruett just checking it wasn't you. The person I get told I look like most often is Gina McKee and Mary from the cartoon Mary, Mungo and Midge. Not me I'm afraid, although my sister-in-law is called Heather and is a dead ringer for the dark haired one out of Abba. And my brother looks just like Phil Mitchell.

I have been compared to both Jimmy Krankie and Mavis Cruet from Will O' The Wisp. Form an orderly queue, boys......

The Beeb have the report online Blimey - they could've taken a picture of her before she died.

Is there actually any proper source for this latest one, or are we relying on Wikipedia........

What I don't get is that of the following list of possible surnames: Voight (father's name), Bertrand, Miller (first husband), Thornton (second husband), Pitt (might as well be third husband and father of her child), that crazy Angelina chick calls herself "Jolie", apparently her middle name. Plus there was the Billy Bob's vial of blood thing, and making out with her brother at The Oscars a few years back. Headcase. I mean, I would, but only for a while....... I would, and I'm a happily married heterosexual mother of two. She's lush.

On the other hand, he's got a fairly young child, which could have given him a new lease of life and increased energy and stamina, and also a pretty wife who may or may not keep him fit, if you know what I mean wink wink nudge nudge ooer missus. I think he's got a fair few years left in him.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_peopl...their_birthdays Here's a list from Wikipedia, so it's probably not accurate.

Here is my favourite joke. Did you hear about the man who mixed up his sleeping pills and SPAM? He nipped upstairs for 40 wanks. Edit - blimey, blummin spam and sweary filters, I wish I hadn't bothered now [swear filter adjusted -- MH]
