Walked into the cold room at work and it felt warmer than outside of it.

Hi TMIB, I've noticed that the formatting of the Jimmy Young entry is a bit screwed up. TTFN

Cheers TMIB. There's still a pint with your name on it waiting when you show up at the DL Con! Just let me know. I see some scumbag has jumped on the Les Munro bandwagon....

Fairly confident summat will come up in that regard. That's two of my Pussy Perishes Last theme team for DDP gone already. We're a week and a half into the New Year . Two of yout Pussy perishes last team have gone already. You clearly need to rethink you team name.

Who?

I had all four of mine out under general in May 11 - it was fucking horrendous. You have all of my sympathy. Thanks LB. Would not like to have this upset times four fold, so you get all my belated sympathies. Thanks going to Time (I'll mind the rosemary) and LG (grim story to recount) too. 24 hours ago now so allready making a fair recovery after a poor nights sleep. Mrs Rotten is very unsympathetic though. She's had me doing the vacuuming and dishwasher chores. JOY. Rosemary and time.... Wonder if there's a TV programme or a song or summat there....

The crossword, in which the news was announced, and the Guardian's report on same. I'm lucky if I can understand the clues, let alone get an answer. I'm more a Rufus man.

I had a tooth extraction a few years ago, fortunately not a wisdom tooth; a few weeks after, just as i was beginning to get used to having a gap instead of a tooth, I was eating Sunday lunch - roast lamb, with rosemary. I do not recommend getting one of those bastard needles stuck in the gum where a tooth used to be!

Nobs out.

Dr Feelgood, the guys who sang "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman". That was Dr. Hook No, Dr. Hook did "The Next Episode" and "California Love". I thought Dr Hook was from The Muppet Show.

Take a trip to Taiwan for a flutter.

Last year I picked Asil Nadir on the assumption that he'd returned to face the music as he was on the way out. Clearly this wasn't the case, so he was unceremoniously dropped in favour of Bernard Haitink; Tony Book was dropped because he seems too well, in favour of the 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma, Patricia Knatchbull.

glass houses etc.

Surprise! New single out, soon to be followed by a new album.

Founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival Claude Nobs is in a coma after a skiing accident.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the death of Trevor Howard. Probably best remembered for Brief Encounter and for playing a host of 'stiff-upper-lip' British types, he also starred as Sir Henry in Viv Stanshall's Sir Henry at Rawlinson End.

Meantime, Marjorie Ruddle, one of the world's oldest siblings, has died aged 105. (On Boxing Day, so don't get too excited).

Keith Who?

How's yer health?

I've already started saving the train fare. Mines a pint o' heavy!
