Yeah, but they need to be able to find the thread to do that, don't they? So that's where Cat's list comes in handy.

I think it's handy to have a complete list of thread titles for reference. Then if you are thinking of starting a topic, you can scan down the list to see if there already is something similar. A search won't necessarily pick it up, as thread titles can be a bit abstruse.

Possibly not, but I bet more than 1% are aware that there used to be a band called Throbbing Gristle, even if they never heard any of their music. He passes my "recognised by someone in the pub" test on that basis. Band names are often known while the names of all their members may not be.

I've always wondered whether he'd been playing up the seriousness of his condition to guilt Ozzy into giving him those platinum credits.

I think he used an orange not a banana, but thanks anyway. Definitely off to bed now. Toodle-pip.

Damn, I was just going to bed and here comes one of Deathers's meltdowns by the look of things. I'm going to miss all the fun.

Never seen it.

Probably everyone in my team.

"Please understand if we are following Michael's wishes and keeping such a sensitive subject as health, as it has always been, in privacy." Yeah, right. If there was anything good to report I bet they would be all over the news with it.

Princess Anne "unassuming"? I think not. She is very forthright and doesn't take any shit from anyone.

Mine is "I'm Sorry For Your Trouble". (For anyone unaware, this is a conventional Irish expression of condolence.)

Frank Sinatra was dying for years.

Good to see you back, my lord. Don't be a stranger. By the way, speaking of wanking, "Sex Education" is back for a second series on 17 Jan. If you haven't seen it, do yourselves a favour and catch up. It'll make you laugh your socks off, and the soundtrack is terrific.

Brooke Astor?

Mine are on page 1. I just edit the post to update it whenever the occasion arises.

Correct, he has been recorded as saying that, but quite recently I read somewhere that he has had a change of heart and now aspires to reach the ton. Can't remember the source, but if I find it again I'll post it.

I hope she will be comfortable for the time that remains, Drol.

Hear hear.

I think only three of mine obliged, so am content with mid-table obscurity.

Fair play, it just caught my eye and I didn't take note of the context.

Starship? Starship?

A relative of mine who was diagnosed with cancer in the 1990s started having the mistletoe injections. It was a very new treatment then. Sadly the nearest place where it was available was a couple of hours drive away, and he wasn't well enough to go more than a couple of times. What might have been
