If I had a pikey nightmare of a mam like that I'd want to go missing too. Did we decide on Nicole Kidman as Kate in the lavish Hollywood biopic? Well, it'll have to be Pauline Quirke as Karen Matthews in the made-for-Channel 5 TV adaptation, then. Premieres at 2.30am on a Wednesday in May. Indeed. It'll be interesting to see how the media treat this story, considering their blanket coverage of the 'middle-class' McCann family...

Wow! Like f*****g Star Wars!

Interestingly, none of us who picked him had him as a joker. A wasted opportunity? We'll see...

And then there was Michael Angelow, the chap who went starkers during a test match in 1975 Leg before wicket...

I don't see why this is a problem these days. These things happen. I noticed the news went to town over this (as usual), what about the 'complaints' for that. If members of the public are 'offended' by depictions of murder, dramatic or otherwise, they might as well live in a cave...

Gazza sectioned...

Actress Mary Barclay has died aged 91...

No. She's dead.

I floated his name about a while ago and saw him as a possible for next year. Oh well...

Link http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=muse I think a Reuters UK obit should secure you the points. I couldn't find her name on the DDP list...

This getting serious. What the bloody hell is going on? Some sort of cult?

Poor Gretna..... Too high, too fast, like Icarus...

Not long to go then... So how long are we going to give him? Me 6 -12 months. Well hopefully he can last till 2009, just in time to make his last comeback....in my DDP team! Of course there's always the WDP next month, if he can hang on a month or two...

Not long to go then...

I must say she has a more impressive rack than Marilyn ever had...

HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY SIR BOBBY!

Saw it on Saturday. Very downbeat I thought. It was interesting that nothing was tied up and the film just....finished! Minimal soundtrack was a bonus too. I was expecting 'No Country for Old Men' to be said too, but it never happened... Plaudits for Bardem as the killer are justified, but I thought Josh Brolin was excellent too. I'm saying too a lot, too....

Nazi Philip wanted Diana dead says Al Fayed. Hmmm....he's not going about convincing the jury in the right way I feel...

Multiple organ failure, good enough for the bastard! Funny how he apparently inspired the hunger strikes, yet dies 27 years later. Reminds me of 'Life of Brian' when People's Front of Judea head Reg didn't participate in the kidnap plan, due to a bad back...

Heesters has made an attempt at a comeback in the Netherlands for the first time in 4 decades...

Sir John Mortimer, now wheelchair bound, has given an interview to The Times about his health and his refusal to give up champagne and cigars. Looks as if he's going out in style!

An article that I read said that the spy satalites are equiped with what you suggested, but it broke in the case of this satellite. That explains why they aren't routinely shooting these things down, they usually can dump them in the ocean where noone will find them. In this case, the US is worried that someone will find it and get "secret" info. I wonder what the betting odds are on hitting it. Ah....

Yeah I know and...why are you here?!

You'd have to be bloody good at your research to second guess who will be next!
