If you're thinking rock is dead because of what's in the charts, you're using the wrong criterion by which to judge. The charts have never been rock-oriented; indeed its a novelty when a rock act hits the charts.

Released. He hasn't been charged

Ooh... Always did feel a bit uneasy about that Jake the Peg Not to mention Two Little Boys....

The coroner rules this an accidental death. Prof Rawlings suffered a heart attack after being restrained by Dr Sivia when the former attacked the latter.

Saudi King Abdullah is clinically dead, or he might be in good health. Either way, he underwent several hours of back surgery 10 days ago, so who knows? Stay tuned!

Artist Lisa de Kooning, daughter of the more famous Willem, has died in the US Virgin Islands, aged 56. A police investigation is ongoing.

Ahhh...proper Man United managers! Fk off. He was the man who brought trophies to Stamford Bridge before that tosspot Roman Abramovich was even a twinkle in his fathers eye. He was also the last man to bring any honours England's way. He was a proper manager when we had proper football clubs. Those were the days. But would Chelsea fans now swap such serial success and that money being spent on players for the odd bit of glory? I like a trophy in the cabinet as much as the next fan, but football was so much simpler 40 years ago. You did have the sense that the trophy was won as a result of what happened on the pitch rather than what happened in the boardroom, but that's a whole other argument. I blame Murdoch.

I'm wonder if a separate forum for the dead is a good suggestion, if only because it means that topics must be moved there after a candidate dies. Considering the flak moderators get when they forget to stick the label "dead" to the dead, I'm not too keen on this idea. The topic of guest posting is a sensitive one. I rather like the principle, but I appreciate that guests' posts rarely contribute positively to the discussion. That said: the same is true of many members' posts. regards, Hein I can't help thinking a separate forum for the dead will be realllllllllllllllllllly quiet, but if you can get them to post, go for it! Why not!! A separate forum for guests however.... I'd go for that. But, as many have said, guests post shit, registered users post shit and its dead easy for a guest to register and post shit, so what would we gain by banning guests from posting (bearing in mind also that some guests posts may be useful or entertaining)?

FFS, Anybody who watches the show deserves to go. Anybody who admits so in a public forum, doubly so. (imo)

Influential she may have been - that doesn't necessarily mean it was for the good.History is littered with influential people, many of whom were misguided, many of whom were downright evil.

I think, like his jokes, he's waaayyyyy past his best and he should be put out to pasture. That's been the case for the past decade.

No, but give it ten minutes and I might be, as I don't have to work tomorrow. In fact I didn't work today, and I don't have to go to work until Tuesday. Which is a good job, as I'm severely fucked off as I'm having to APPLY FOR MY OWN FUCKING JOB next week You pissed again Lardy? You're not a Chief Constable are you?

There was a profile of US-American photographer/film-maker William Klein on BBC the other night. He's 84, is looking a bit frail but shows no sign of slowing down. He's still working and was well enough (at time of shooting) to lead Alan Yentob around town. Its still up on iPlayer if you're so inclined.

It works OK when I do it. I suspect that the clue is in the question, or rather the statement. Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

I cringe when I see some of what passes for English on the website of my local newspaper. I'm not talking about the 'readers' comments' below stories but the actual copy posted by jounalists. There are frequent typographical errors, numerous tautologies and downright confusing sentence constructs. I don't think this can be blamed on the proliferation of gadgets as, presumably, any prospective journalist would surely have to have reached a certain standard of written English. I conclude that this standard is now lower than it was in the past. I suspect that proof-readers are no longer the norm in the (local) newspaper publishing industry these days, which may explain how some of these errors creep through, but some of them can only be down to the journalists' ignorance.

I see Ronnie's on the box again (ITV1 as we speak). I hope he's getting appearance money.

In the good old days somebody would have been kneecapped by the spelling/poor grammar police If they had posted that, or summat. If you insist, I could always take over honez's reigns until he returns. Not with spelling like that you couldn't!

Whoever it is, the one on the right is fucking useless at rock, paper, scissors.

Out, for The Count. Don't worry, I already have my coat.

When Parsons does finally pass on, do you reckon he'll have instructed his eulogy to be delivered for exactly one minute without repetition, deviation, or hesitation? His funeral will be broadcast "Live from Norwich" Live?

"Barry Chuckle still isn't dead" Thats the same story from 2010. I noticed it was the number 1 read article on the BBC news website last night... Oops, how embarrassing. Feel free to ignore it.
