    Charles Manson

    No nuptials just yet. According to this report, Manson's fiancée only wanted to marry him so that she could get possession of his corpse to put on public display. Manson's not struck on the idea.

    I got 4/7, but I do know that Dada(ism), Futurism and Cubism are artistic movements rather than moments!

    Somewhere Over The Rainbow

    Most gay people I know are uber health freaks and kick up a real fuss if you light up a cigarette in their vicinity, and the only "drugs" they take are mineral and vitamin supplements. So I'm not sure what research Evan Davies has done to prove this statement, or where his definition of "drugs" begins. Most gay people I know smoke like chimneys and drink like fishes. Actually, that applies to the straight people I know as well.

    Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof

    Tim Farriss -> Kevin Bacon -> Pharrell Williams -> Peaches Geldof.Orri Vigfússon -> Prince Charles -> Michelle Mone -> Peaches Geldof Adolf Hitler -> Mother Theresa -> Kevin Bacon -> Peaches Geldof -> Mornington Crescent I understand the need to get Kevin Bacon in, but I fail to see the link between him and the Witch of Calcutta.regards, Hein Does it matter? I played the Euston Square advantage. Anyway I got to Mornington Crescent, so I won No, she lived and died in Wrotham, Kent which is not on the underground system and she would have to use a surface line to connect to Euston Via Sevenoaks, change at Swanley for London Bridge... And from London Bridge, it's a short distance on the Northern Line to Mornington Crescent. I'm sorry I haven't a clue as to what you are all going on about. Don't get the Hump
  15. No this is important as many people will assume they are still registered as they have been previously. This is going to mostly affect Students and people who live in multi-occupancy units. This was a change brought in by Labour to move to individual rather than household registration but the argument goes that it has suited the Tories not to bring it to the attention of the above groups too blatently as those people probably wouldn't vote Tory. That argument might hold some weight if the letters didn't say on the envelope the way we register vote is changing. Assuming people saw the letters and didn't just chuck them out with all the other junk mail. There was a similar issue about the letters that went out about data sharing in the NHS. The programme had to be postponed because most people weren't aware of the issue. This should have been supported by a media campaign. This is a problem caused (or at least not helped) by the semi-privatisation of Royal Mail. Back in the 'good old days' you could be pretty sure that what the postie left on your doormat was actual post that needed at least some attention; now that the PO has to pay for itself they're obliged to take just about anything. Of course, if it was obvious that the junk mail on your doormat was junk, we'd just throw it away so in order to get us to look at said junk mail in amongst the pizza menus and window cleaners flyers, the canny marketeer dresses it up to look like its important by putting it in an envelope. Consequently, many assume that the anonymous looking envelope addressed 'to the occupier' (as my registration letter was) is another marketing letter from Virgin Media (other just as irritating mass-marketeers are available). That's my theory fwiw.

    He was a 'unique' on my 'Roger & Out' theme team last year, (and two years before that). I didn't re-enter this time. Two Rogers in three years is a poor return, though I might try again with a few different Rogers next year.
