I think I heard about someone from there named "Andrew Jetz" and he was written into folklore by Elton John.

Re "(hardly a giant, compared to Leonidko, but quite enough hugeness for me to cope with all at one time )"... Hi HellKat, sounds like you had plenty on your hands. I agree that, to be currently classified as a giant, someone must be 6'6'' tall. However, these days most people know someone taller than, or at least close to that height. Perhaps it's time to reclassify a clinical giant as someone exceeding 7'. In terms of true giants (8'+), their acromegaly causes a tremendous pressure on the heart; having to pump blood over a greater distance. The hearts tend to become enlarged and, ultimately, something "gives". I believe Robert Wadlow died of a leg ulcer, a complication of his weakened bloodflow. I'd guess that a weakened bloodflow would also stop giants from "engorging their loins". Is this true?

I think I had the same cab driver.

Or her children's dad and their grandfather.....

I agree, Godot. Like Newtie-Boy, Doris will have a team of advisors to stop him drifting into the realms of fantasy. It should be a painless ride for Doris IF she can just read out carefully-prepared scripts.....hang on a minute...she couldn't do that on HIGNFY when she wasn't under pressure - doh! We're all doomed!

I was completely surprised to read that the minor planet called John Prescott was suffering from Bulimia..... I believe he has a more serious, and less common, case. I reckon he re-eats what he's just chucked up. Otherwise, how an a short-arse maintain his immense weight?

Are dodgy kidneys a medical give-away (to identify incestuous behaviour)? Having had SEVERAL pints, my kidneys are now well dodgy. Is it the alcohol or should I start to look at my family in another light?.

Yeah...everything is rolling along smoothly, then all of a sudden, you're in the gutter. Nice "life analogy".

It's just a sign of the times...everyone's shedding ariels for freeview boxes. (boom, boom). If that's the case, his successor should get a better reception.

Probably the two most spoken statements by Kirk... "I.....'m Thpaaarrrthikuth" "I'm 91 years old, you know...and I've still got most of me teeth"

I bet he enjoyed "diving" with the youths..... I wonder if he was ever affected by "the bends"????

I agree, it was all in Fulham's hands and, despite them being "Premiership fodder". the way they dug themselves out of their particular relegation hole was amazing! This may well now consolidate them in the Premiership for the foreseeable future (ie wot with yo-yo-ing teams playing fleeting visits to the Premiership). Personally, I am rooting (oo-er) for Cardiff in the Cup Final. Or am I stating the bleeting obvious?

Now that Chuck's well and truly popped his clogs, does anyone know if a rifle was finally taken from his cold dead hands?

And David Bowie (61) and William Hartnell (100)... That was always a bummer growing up....Jan 9th, nothing......Jan 8th, you've got the original TV DR Who, birth dates of both Elvis and Bowie. I've been unable to find any one/event of any vague significance (me, apart) that occurred on 9 January . Any suggestions?

Dead Does that technically mean he was unseated at the final hurdle? (Or is that a "George Michael euphamism"???) Happy New Year one and all (except those on the list, obviously)

I agree, but....a fart can only exist when there's sufficent "pressure-build". Is super-compressed methane heavier than equal bodyt mass??? these questions need answering....

He probably picked up that hernia from sleeping on top of a bag of tax-free dosh...

Hello to all you seasoned contributors, I also used to be tolerated (for those who recall)....until the moderator arbitrarily excluded my office's IP address I was never "One Man Jury" (I did find out who the work colleague was though). Bye

Vietnam War general, would be 91 this year Thanks for doing the maths.... It's often easy to miscalculate 2005 minus 1914

Er, bit of a contradiction there, mate.

Wow, they both died together?

Words of wisdom indeed, Mr Notapotato.

Hmmmm, are you perhaps the thespian who used to do the BT adverts ("It's good to talk")?

No. I am a little more rotund You're not the person that advertises Terry's Chocolate Orange, are you?

comedy?
