    There are claims that Saddam is refusing his food along with some of his buddies.

    Poor nutrition is as we know not conducive to longevity.

     

    He is eating "snacks" so it doesn't count as a hunger strike.

     

    I wonder if the US would prefer him to live or die. Some of them will no doubt be frustrated that he's unlikely to get the death penalty whilst American citizens can get it simply for minor traffic offences.

     

    I wonder if he is afraid of poisoning?

    Why not a tomato? not a cabbage, not a potato.

    If I flung a potato at Karzai and he were to catch it and stick it down his underpants, that could mean the beginning of a new dick-tatership in Afghanistan.

    I'm surprised nobody had a go at Rummy and Cheney while they were there.

    I know I would like as not have lobbed a rotten cabbage or two their way if I had been in Afghanistan yesterday. Which I wasn't.

    he is in a actors old peoples home

    Is there such a thing as an actors old people's home?

    Live and learn.

    I wonder if he has any famous co-inmates in an advanced state of agedness we should know about?

    If Prince Bernard is canonized, will he have to run around the Alps with a keg of brandy around his neck?

    In order to be canaonised, you have to have performed at least 3 provable miracles. (Exception Mother Teresa who will probably be excused this tedious requirement)

    I wonder how many miracles Bernhard performed in his long lifetime?

    Transforming himself from an SS officer into an Allied pilot might count as one.

    As my old barber used to say: Geh mit Gott, aber geh! Also: Steck dirs an den Hut! :ghost:

     

    It means (more or less)

     

    "Go with God- away! I can do without you!"

     

    Probably still upset about "Bomber" Harris.

    Some Germans took offence that Her Majesty didn't apologise for him on a recent visit to Germany. :D

    Keith Floyd - A recipe for disaster?

     

    60 and two recent stokes. I hardly recognised him the other day in the paper. The old fella is a shadow of his former self :rolleyes:

    He was always a bit of a cantankerous old sod. In spite of his cheery affectation for the cameras.

    Prime candidate for a premature demise. I wonder if all that healthy red wine could have a life-prolonging effect though?

    Thats what I thought it was when I started to write it out, then I thought " Nah" But I'll try to find out. I've got the German version, but my German is not too good.

    I found a translation back into english of the German version of the lumberjack song.

    Really rather senseless if you ask me.

     

     

    I'm a lumberjack and I feel strong.

    I sleep all night and chop all day

     

    I fell trees, I skip and jump

    I go the the WC

    On Wednesdays I go shopping

    And have cookies and coffee

     

    I'm a lumberjack and I feel strong

    I sleep all night and chop all day

     

    I fell trees, I eat my bread

    Put flowers in a vase

    I slip into women's clothing

    And lounge around in bars

     

    I'm a lumberjack and I feel strong

    I sleep all night and chop all day

     

    I fell trees, wear high heeled shoes

    Stockings and a bra

    I'd like to be a little girl

    Just like my uncle Walter

     

    and here's Google's automatic translation which has a better entertainment value by far:

     

    The Lumberjack song

     

    How are the surviving Pythons keeping? Any of them likely to kick it?
