Oh yeaaahhh!! Never even noticed this forum had filtering... It fekin does mate! And here's a four letter word for you...knob.

Complete unknown in Britain though. Only the Guardian (so far) has reported his death, but they'll cover any death it seems. You are rapidly beginning to get on my nerves...

Well he's still with us, but having seen him wheeled around St James' Park for the Bobby Robson Trophy or whatever it's called, one wonders for how long... If he makes it to 2010 he'd be doing very well indeed...

French President Nicolas Sarkozy rushed to hospital

He was in "The Seeds of Death", but better known in Who circles for suffocating in a plastic chair in "Terror of the Autons"...

Sorry to release the urine on to your parade Harry, but seeing as Sky are sponsoring a new British team and involving themselves in promoting cycling with the 'Skyride' initiatives, its surely a matter of time before they get their hands on coverage of the Tour. It would be perverse if they didn't really...

Come back when you've learned English, sunshine...

Just as the film's come out. Fancy that

Peter Sellers died on this day in 1980... Strangely, I have stronger memories of his death in the news, when I was 4, than John Lennon, who died over four months later...

Three posts between 95th and 96th birthdays says it all really. I think he wants to outlive Thatcher!

Yeah, bit of a shock that...

Just the title 'Raped by Elephants' had me chuckling...

Basil Rathbone, perhaps the definitive silver screen Sherlock, died on this day in 1967...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHANTOM!

The little girl is saying: "I've heard Dad talk about 'Dogging', but I didn't know what he meant until now."

That's terrible news. He was only 18 and had the potential to be a chip off the old block...

So you reckon its back to picking old farts in the future?

Youve got things mixed up there me old mucker, it shurely should read once upon a time a girl asked a guy to marry her, he said no, and the girl lived happily ever after. Can you tell i'm newly divorced? No, I'm with LFN on this one, Lardy...

There was an article (and picture) on him in a newspaper recently. He looks very good for his age...

"Bugger Bognor" George V

Wisdom...

He created the infamous Mind Your Language and Love Thy Neighbour. Which makes him a poor man's Johnny Speight, I suppose. Or a racist c unt. Also wrote a sitcom starring Sid James and Victor Spinetti about a couple of city types who leave the rat race to run a farm. It wasn't a success, but paved the way for The Good Life later on in the 1970s... It seems a lot of his comedies are based on differences, racial, religious, cultural. An interesting CV, abeit dominated by the two comedies you mentioned, Harry. I can remember 'Mind Your Language' quite well despite being only 4 when it originally finished in 1979...

Well done Windsor for finally growing a pair... And its awf into the big wide world...

Funnily enough, when I read that when England last beat Australia at Lords in 1934, it was for the first time since 1896! So just one win at the home of English Cricket over the old enemy in 113 years! So Allingham would have just been alive as a baby when they won back then... The most significant death of all regarding WWI veterans will be the last one. Britain still has one left in Harry Patch. Apt too, as he was in the trenches...

We're not going to have that argument again are we?
