Well, she's not dead, or even dying, but one of Belgium's truly famous sports stars, tennis player Justine Henin, is hanging up her racket (and no SC, that's not supposed to be taken either literally or as a metaphor for death).
Martina Hingis retired suddenly last year when she was so innocent of testing positive for cocaine she promptly quit the sport. Justine seems too boring to have been up to her eyeballs, so maybe she just got sick of the E. European hotties getting all the attention.

I don't remember what I was doing when Elvis or John Lennon died, but I fairly vividly recall watching this bit of news footage, of the patriach of the Flying Wallenda family suddenly deciding to retire in the middle of a tightrope walk.
Neither flying nor well-ending
Not for the faint hearted, so look away now if you're not hard enough.

I'm pleased to see that two clubs owned by their fans, FC United and AFC Wimbledon have both managed promotion this year, here's hoping Exeter make that three clubs next week.And don't forget about Ebbsfleet, who won the FA Trophy.

George McGovern has already told her to pull outYes, and after suffering one of the largest losses in any presidential election (520 to 17 in electoral college votes to Nixon in '72) George McGovern's influence within the Democratic party remains as robust as ever. Next thing we know Ted Kennedy will be offering to be her driving instructor.

Scoop! American ice cream man Irv Robbins has melted at the age of 90. Too bad he didn't die at 99, on a Sundae.
That joke was a bit flakey. You're obviously nuts (and strawberry sauce).
Oh, TAFKAG's just baskin' in the glory of that bit of punmanship.

Do you think they're annoyed that they've just lost the All-Europe Hide and Seek championship to the unfancied Austrians?Unfancied? I thought the Austrians were reigning champs.
Either them or Belgium

Gazza has had a very public breakdown in a London hotel and has been delivered, once again, in to the care of the nearest psychiatric unit.http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article...otel/article.do
When I saw that red-head picture I thought he looked remarkably like:
Gazza looked like a lion? I'm confused....

I turned yo for my usual 7.45am bus only to find that the first bus that was going to come would be at 8.59am. I had an appointment at 9.15am. Now I'm going to miss it. Bunch of dickheads.It's been a while since I turned yo.
Happens all the time in Spain.

Highlight of the day for me would be the Carlisle fans who staged a modest pitch invasion after their team didn't clinch automatic promotion, when they had a play-off spot sewn up before the match started. They needed a win and for Forest not to do the same. Is there no radio reception in that part of the country, or has maths been banned from local schools for the past 30 years?

Mr. Demjanjuk is not a Nazi collaborator. He is an innocent man persecuted by blood-thirsty Jews.Welcome to the DL, Mel Gibson!

The Clown Prince of the Conservative party has won the election to become London's mayor, sad day for Londoners I think
.It's going to be a long, hard road towards the next general election for Labour.
Maybe Labour shouldn't have been so quick to give Tony B the boot. "Let's see, we've just had our best ten year stretch ever. Thanks Tony, off you go, we're handing the reins over to Mr. Bean". Brown should have stayed at doing what he does best, looking after the money, and let a proper PM candidate, like Miliband, take over.

Victor Manuel Mejia Munera, one of Colombia's most wanted drug smugglers, has been killed in a police shootout. His twin brother, Miguel Ángel Munera might be a good bet for a deadpool, he too is wanted for drug smuggling and is unlikely to surrender without a fight.How do they know it wasn't Miguel Ángel who got shot, while Victor Manuel lives on?
I think that was the premise of a movie I once saw late at night on Cinemax. Shannon Whirry was involved. Or wait, maybe she played twin sisters. Hmmm......

I was torn over whether to post this here or in the animal antics thread, but dying isn't much of an antic.

I hope this works as I've never set up a poll before.Jack Glugman. Nice poll creating LG!

How about the (latest) Austrian nut job? And/or his wife, who's going with "I had no idea what was happening" defence, so popular in that part of the world over the years.
Regrettably there's apparently no death penalty in Austria, but suicide or killed by fellow inmates could be a possibility, especially if the authorities do the decent thing and leave him totally unsupervised amongst the general prison population.

Because it was the clumsy Taliban it doesn't sound like this was a very good assassination attempt, but still....

Common sense has prevailed, invitation withdrawn.Good. Now, if they'd just cancel the Boat Race, or better yet invite other universities to take part, then we might be getting somewhere. Interestingly, "Boat Race" is an anagram of "Bore a Cat", which is apt, because it does. And billions of humans.
OK, apologies for straying off topic. Back to the child pr0n fiend.

..... Tonight I'm for the f****n people man. I'm a man of the people tonight. If there is some f****n guy who is shriveling up inside like a 'local supermarkets' plastic bag left in the rain for for months ... I got to save people like that, man. There is probably some sorry bitch on this website ... who's face is caving in and he is sort of hunched over and his hands shake and he talks in a low whisper and his eyes are always half closed 'f****n dead beat' and he does this full body twitch every 45 seconds Ahhhehhhemmma ........don't kill yourself man ............. life waits for you. Life waits for you. Even as I can't help you, understand I would.

No one puts Patrick in a boxPerhaps someone will soon.
Swayze puts affairs in order (if only Diana had done the same)
This should eventually give new meaning to the phrase "Ghost like Swayze"

I was just wondering if someone could change the post into "FAMOUS PEOPLE FROM THE BENELUX".The point of this particular thread is to highlight the fact that although it's been around for, I don't know, several hundred years, and is surrounded by countries which produce hundreds of noteworthy people (including the excellent Dutch), Belgium is spectacularly crap at having famous citizens. The most well-known are a portly fictional detective created by an English authoress, and another fictional detective with a quiff and a white dog. A few tennis players, a cyclist and racing driver from 40+ years ago, and that's pretty much it. And please spare us "Audrey Hepburn", the daughter of an English father and Dutch mother.
So, VH, may we suggest that you Dutchies not allow yourself to get dragged down anywhere near the level of the Belgians and let them keep this thread all to themselves. Belgians are so crap they barely even have a country at the moment. Not that anyone would miss it if it went.

He's out of rehab, but he has grown a bushy beard and become obsessed by ghosts and aliens.for everyone else obsessed with aliens, there's a brand spanking new thread in the DL extra-curricular

Our office is about three miles from Lord's and about two drops of rain per hour are currently falling. Maybe it's monsooning in St John's Wood, but if not why aren't they playing? Oh, I see, it's almost time for lunch, so they don't want to be late for that. Only the English could invent a sport entirely dependant on fair weather, play it in a country where it so often isn't, and subsequently teach much of the rest of the world to be better than them.
And tennis.
