Lady Die

Saddam aide confirmed dead. Another one bites the sand.

Is that because you'll be visiting the grandparents instead?

You'll probably be worm-fodder at 109!!

Excellent. I'm sure I can use that.

Computers also have terminals if they are networked.

Well said Lady Die, I agree with you completely, a much better picture of Mr. Depp Just the right sort of thing to look at whilst eating your porridge!

Last time I saw him he was in a wheelchair. Maybe he's had a stroke too? Back on the subject of Lichfield, his partner is called Annunziata!!

According to the news he had a massive heart attack at the weekend - so I couldn't have seen him in Sainsburys on Monday. It must have been the Monday before. Maybe you saw his ghost in Sainsburys

Will someone make a film of his life?

Just found out the connection to the Queen (in case anyone cares) - his mother Anne Bowes-Lyon was a niece of the Queen Mother. Where's Windsor when you need him?

BBC report here Btw how exactly is he related to the Queen?

I think you might be right. His condition has just been described as "Dead" on Sky. Doesn't sound too good for him....

Being a man you couldn't possibly understand.... Bou & Lady G will agree with me I'm sure

From the 1997 film, Donnie Brasco Yes, not the best picture of the gorgeous Mr. Depp, the moustache put me off my porridge this morning Ah, it's a moustache! Abandon Avatar! .........Blow (2001) That's much much better. Completely gorgeous in fact.

Will the ghost of the ferret be attending? Only if it was invited.

All the more reason to keep the title as "Christmas"! (I am an atheist & I don't have a problem with it)

I panicked for a moment there - I thought this was a barmy religious thread. Welcome back to the fold, VB (hope loss of job wasn't DL-related)

Did he have his 'Third Stroke?' Pat was a "she"! Have you never called the speaking clock?

My money's on a heart attack.

Sorry for the confusion. It is a local expression/slang for people who meet their demise over the Christmas season. ff Cake it, Sounds like a good expression for when somebody dies on their birthday. Great idea but hope it doesn't happen to Patrick Moore - his birthday's not until March.

Try some "near-death experiences"

An excellent and incisive rant.

Are you Santa?

There, there! Calm down m'Lady. ( Cup of tea?) "Spiritual" exists, and surely it's better for all of us to consider that aspect of our lives in a cool, ordered manner, in order to avoid the dangers of extremist lapses. I already have a cuppa thanks. Disagree with you about "spiritual"

My last word on this.
