Obviously you're referring to infant mortality, before midnight on the day they exit the womb. The odds of that happening are directly proportional to the standard of hygiene, level of medical attention available, and general health, nutrition and genetic make up of the mother. Whether the year is divisble by 400 or 1000 or the radius of the moon is irrelevant. I hope that helps clear up any weirdness you were feeling about this, IYG. I need to know more about the possible effect of the radius of the moon, it sounds most fascinating

More like 365 : 1 (except in a leap year!)

What's the tune for this? Death March?

Are you a member of the 'Flat Earth Society'?

As the old joke used to go: "I hear that woman from the Avengers has died... Can't remember her name...." "Honor Blackman?" "No, h'on a motorbike!" Boom Boom

I couldn't possibly comment. (But I'll blame the beer!)

All those young ladies dancing the 'Hula Hula' in court must also get the old ticker racing!

Come in No. 9 your time is up! No. 9.........? Ah! No. 6, are you in trouble?

Maybe I'm a little too old, maybe I'm a little insular, Perhaps I don't get out enough, (or perhaps I'm out too much) I read newspapers, I watch the news regularly, politics, religion and current affairs are discussed on social occasions (together with the interesting 'nether region' stuff). Culture, the arts, music are all in my vocabulary but........... Who (or what) are "The Brady Bunch"? As for Sherwood Schwartz let's not forget his wonderful work of that other timeless classic Gilligan's Island. Ditto....... And let us never forget It's About Time Who remembers the theme song? It's about time, it's about space, it's about two men... The theme song sounds rather rude.

Round here people get several years for stroking a minor (as opposed to a miner, where you may get money)

Am I pleased to read that!

482 for me. Must be going up all the time (fnarr fnarr)

Don't want to dish the do-do, but Dodi was before Di

and the difference is.............?

Well, good friends with two kids together. And both Sarandon and Robbins are annoying, arogant twunts. People who live priviledged lifestyles and try to tell others how best to live theirs really put me off. Currently in the US, George Bush (the elder) and Bill Clinton keep appearing on my TV together telling me it's the American way to give money to the charity they're shilling. To hell with them; when they, or any other "celebrity" who pushes for me to give to their favorite cause, has given away all but the meagerest amount of their millions and is living like the rest of the middle class, then I will listen to them. Until then, I will continue to root vigorously for their misery/death. Good stuff TH

A Pitchman perhaps? ie, a hawker, salesman, or other low-life, bottom feeding, scum-sucking, tromboning animal. Scum sucking? Is that similar to felching as discussed elsewhere on these pages? Not too sure as to the exact meaning of tromboning in this context either. Apart from that, you seem to quite like salespeople.

Just between meals then. I suggest one could break fast for the odd (and even) snack too.

From Anubis's link: What is an oatmeal pithchman?

If one were really 'dominant' then I imagine one would get someone else to do that!

I understand that Sharon is to be found slapping her a*s for Asda advertisements soon. More reasons to shop at Morrisons. (The above is UK specific; Asda is part of WalMart, and Morrisons is owned by a bluff Yorkshireman)

Kelly Osbourne? You mean the chunky one who has no singing talent whatsoever, but chooses to make an CD based on her yelling "shut up"? Yes!

Will this be enough to save him from the glue factory?

Been on here a long time..... "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" HenryII

Haven't heard too much about him, but I understand he has been ill for nearly 20 years. Must go, have a prior appointment

Home at last...................
