That really did make me laugh out loud. Not a good idea when you're the only person in a cyber cafe.

Happy Birthday mib

Anybody know the specifics of Norman Painting's (Phil Archer) poor health? I know he doesn't appear in The Archers as much as he used to due to ill health, but how serious is it?

I voted Melly, but I wish I'd voted None of the above. I didn't see that option until I'd voted, and I do think that's it for the year now.

How many forum posters does it take to change a light bulb?

What size shoes do we reckon Lady Clarissa takes then?

Well done ie+

Yes, I mentioned her, but for some reason my suggestion was deleted.

Me neither and I'm in that age bracket.

Marian Marsh. I had n't heard of her either. http://amy-jeanne.livejournal.com/91877.html#cutid1

Actor Kevin Stoney (Doctor Who, Blakes 7 that kind of crap) was looking rather frail on a recent documentary. We've seen that Doctor Who actors seem to do quite well out of obits so it could be a possibility. He was born 1921 btw

Beat me to it. He was yet another one I had half an eye on for DDP. Oh well

I know there are enough kinky folk here to get these. If Dom Mintoff is murdered then we could have "Dom topped" or if he decide to replace him in next year's list "Dom subbed". The only other I can come up with is "Thatch dispatched"

Tried again but still can't get in. All seems a bit odd. If I have been banned I'd like a very good reason why

I'm getting the same thing. All seems very suspicious

I just tried to get into chat and a big red cross came up? Is this due to tech type problms or have I also been banned?

The Manx do, which is odd as they're normally so sodding parochial about "not being part of the UK and having their own parliament etc "

Seconded.

I don't believe it. He has also a DDP and was going to be top of my HDP list too.

His widow, Judith Kerr might be worth considering for the future. She's a children's author in her own right. "When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit" is probably her best known work. I'm sure she'd get an obit

Elliot Handler, co founder of Mattel and widower of Ruth Handler whon invented the Barbie Doll turned 90 earlier in the years. When Ruth died she got loads of UK press so I'm sure old Elliott would get an obit. No health news but looks about average for someone his age. Might be worth considering for DDP if not DL http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/news/ne...spx?news_id=515

Seems to be true. He was going to be on my list next year too http://www.hammerfilms.com/features/tribut...gel_kneale.html

Have a good one Vinegar Tits.

Play the dark M&Ms game. I'm not a horror fan so I only got 30/50 but I'm sure there area few people here who will get the all http://us.mms.com/us/dark/

Thank you for all the birthday greetings guys and gals, both on the thread and in Pms. Venice was wonderful, the plane didn't crash and I didn't fall in the canal. No sign of any migets in red coats either Oh and thanks for the pics CP. I'm sure I'm not the only one who liked them
