    Deathlist Under 45

    How did a Rolling Stone journalist bring down a US Army general? Wasn't there an Eagles album to review or something?

    British Science Fiction Series

    Oh wow. How exciting. Now we can all watch William Hartnell bouncing around in a tiny wardrobe-sized studio, in the grainiest black and white ever, fighting some alien enemies who look like they literally just got their costumes out of a Christmas cracker, with sound quality that makes those tacky talking greeting cards sound like listening to Beethoven's 9th Symphony on a 79-speaker Sony Surround system with 12 different sub-woofers, and camerawork that makes the Zapruder film look like something that Stanley Kubrick and Sergio Leone collaborated on. And just when we were all about to give up on life because we thought this day would never come. Obviously not heard of VidFIRE then...

    British Science Fiction Series

    Hmmm. I'm a bit skeptical about this. One or two episodes, maybe an entire serial I can envisage being found, but the reputed 90 or so episodes? Not so sure...

    Stuart Hall

    I think Stuart Hall of Open University repute might want to add an initial or summat to his name, or risk his lefty "Kilburn Manifesto" going completely down the shitter...

    Derby Dead Pool 2013

    The stewards inquiry says....yes!

    Nigel Lawson

    The thought did flash through my mind that they maybe role-playing to add a bit of spice to a 10 year marriage. That said, why was the photographer there unless he had a tip that the relationship was a bit on the "brittle" side?

    Doubt it. Neil Platt died in 2009. That's what happens when you skim through an article...

    Hooroo, Mate.

    Is it me or does every Bazz Luhrmann film have at least one scene where it rains down with sparkly confetti?

    Is he ill? No. It's just crossed my mind thinking about the 80s Scottish World Cup squads and whether Jardine was in them and the chap I was thinking was Provan...or was it Davey Cooper?!

    Ah. I'm thinking of Davie Provan when recalling those Spain/Mexico squads...

    Rupert Murdoch

    If this is true then Blair is a genius. Of all the people he could have an affair with and thus risk exposure, having one with the wife of the most powerful man in the media and thus making him look a cuckolded gimp to the rest of the World is incredibly shrewd. Mrs Murdoch has to be wary of speeding police vans however...

    Hooroo, Mate.

    From what you are saying Davey, Australia has much in common with Britain in terms of its allegiance to the US of A. The thought flashed through my mind that in a couple of years time, the British General Election will be such a muddle we'll end up with a National Government, like we had in the 1930s...

    Room 101

    When we were in Vegas a few years ago, My wife asked a 'Vulcan' female if she could have a photo with my other half, the reply was 'the other half of what my dear? Oh I see, you mean your mate?' What's a 'Vulcan' female? Is it something American? Not a star trek watcher then? Not really, no. Were you at some sort of Star Trek convention? No. One of the hotels we visited had a star trek theme. Quarks bar, (Quark is a Ferengi) (Pretty strong stuff at that bar) and a couple of virtual rides that were pretty good. Shame they finished it and all the gear just got dumped. (No doubt there will be a few trekkies/trekkers bursting into tears now) Was there a Neelix to kick the shit out of?

    Hooroo, Mate.

    I read an article about Australian politics a few months ago. It's a lot more ruthless than in Britain. They've had more changes in party leadership than Chelsea have done with managers. General elections are fairly regular too (3 years). Certainly keeps the politicians on their toes. Doesn't seem to have done the country too much harm though. Lesson for Britain?

    Not sure whether she is 127, but it won't make a scrap of difference points-wise...

    World's Oldest

    Shouldn't be long before he get's the obit required. That's three oldies gone in a day. Did they all get a letter from ATOS saying they were fit for work or something?
