Spooky, I just watched a film that his daughter was in.
ETA Just read the BBC obit which says he "was married to Bridget, also an actor". Awkward.

Are the quote marks around the word hospice his or yours?

I've been there.
Me: I went to the Royal Opera House last night.
Posh Lady In The Village: Oh, how lovely! What did you hear?
Me: The Pet Shop Boys.

Dog caught a wood mouse outside this week. Shame.
I caught a house mouse inside this week. (Well, the trap I set did.) Bit sad but had to be done.

Physically frail? Yeah, insists the former box-office beast, after battling various health issues: diabetes, leukemia (remission), a bad heart, a bum shoulder, sepsis.
Six months ago, friends called his famed costar Ali MacGraw to warn her: This might be it.
It wasn’t it.
My guess is the sepsis, because that can be very sudden and very serious.
I know two people who have been struck down by sepsis. One is a very fit indomitable chap in his 80s who bounced back. Quick admission to hospital (he passed out in the doctor's surgery) and immediate treatment seems to be the key.
The other guy is much younger and has not been so lucky, he's recovered but been debilitated for months.

I don't recall ANY deal being struck before the referendum.
I imagine he means that Leave voters trusted that it would be competently organised.

We can be whatever we want to be nowadays, so they tell me. I might have decided to be one of these transgender individuals.

Speaking as a woman, I hate that sort of attitude. We've already had a woman trying to sort it all out, and that didn't go very well.

1 hour ago, msc said:It's always been bookies to me so no chance with anyone too young to mind John Major as PM.
It might be a regional thing.
Although years ago I worked for Ladbrokes and the branches were always referred to as shops.

What did you expect from this thread
I was responding to "everyone needs to know what a evil cunt she is".
As for checking out the thread, any thread on here may harbour a hilarious or intriguing story.

I don't actually need to know anything about any of these nonentities.

1 hour ago, Sir Creep said:All that said, the thread is about wherever one resides.... and I think and ‘confusion’ is specious. RadGuy meant your house, apartment, condo, trailer, cabin, timeshare, cottage, or townhouse—and the property upon which it sits.
Now....if the shoe fits (no pun intended) and one DOES reside in a barn.....,well....... clearly their answer to what critters roam around will be different.
No confusion. I knew what he meant. I just took the opportunity to enquire about a word usage that has long puzzled me.

When applied to a racehorse trainer, the 'yard' means the entire premises, and by extension the business. For example:
" Michael Bell has been training in the historic yard of Fitzroy House, Newmarket for 30 years."
"We are constantly looking forward and focused on ensuring the future success of the yard."

Strange. The nearest thing to me that is called a "yard" contains a lot of stables with racehorses in them. Is that kind of set-up called a yard in the US of A?

13 minutes ago, time said:It is a yard. No lawn or flower beds, just concrete.
That's how I pictured it.

21 minutes ago, time said:My back yard is particularly small (about 4 metres by 2 metres and entirely enclosed with high walls.
So, it's an actual back yard, and not a garden which is what us Brits are talking about?
While we're here, can any Americans please enlighten me - what is a garden in the US? Because what we refer to as our garden is what you call your yard.
We use 'yard' for mainly industrial spaces.

Oh yes, I have bats - I love to see them.
Somewhere I have a complete list of all the bird varieties seen in (or over) the garden within the last few years.

I found a jet black millipede in one of my kitchen cupboards once. Scared the shit out of me.
