This shouldn't apply now, surely? There's got to be some perks.

If you've got something to say, say it. Otherwise stfu.

As others have said, not a nice person but a genius. I love his work and appreciate his influence.

This is really difficult, so I've tried not to put too much thought into it.

Somebody post that on the Digital Spy forum. See if any of them get it.

I've got him in AltObits, wasn't sure if he'd be accepted but he was. Wait and see now.

Yes, I'm such a minge.

By the way, while we're on words, Susie Dent's fabulous "Word Perfect" which has an unusual word for every day of the year is available today as a Kindle download on Amazon for just 99p. Snap it up! I bought this for my aunt for Christmas and she's really enjoying it.

Yes, I always understood slut to mean slattern, but it wasn't a word that you came across very often anyway. It's only in recent years that it seems to have gained currency as a synonym for slapper. And yes, "mingy" was quite commonly used to mean stingy or mean.

Oxford English Distionary has a very long list of definitions for faggot, most of which relate to bundles of things. Homosexuals are not singled out for abuse though. Note The Pogues reference!

That's actually what I had for Christmas dinner. With Iceland frozen mash. It was lovely.

An excellent showing all round from the representatives of the DL Forum. I am more than content to scrape into the top 20.

As some other famous singer said, I need a love reaction

Yes, I have Vagabond Ways and Broken English, brilliant. Also Dangerous Acquaintances which has the heartrending "Truth, Bitter Truth". I need to get GMLTL. I've also got a great compilation called A Perfect Stranger which is either a good introduction or handy to keep in the car, depending who's listening.

I'm glad I took the chance to see her, what, five years ago already? I can't see much chance of her performing live again as she was pretty fragile then, but I hope she goes on as long as she wants to.
