I can imagine your confusion should any young lady invite in 'for coffee'!

Here's a little puzzle should keep you occupied for a while... Some other nice little applets here.

She was probably fired from the show. If I remember correctly she was caught cheating in the last series by putting her fatties on an extreme crash diet. She was given 'a back seat' for most of the fourth series, but according to this, was set to appear in the fifth next year. The Argus report also says she split from her 'lesbian partner' earlier this year (though why the Argus, the local newspaper of the self-proclaimed gay capital of the UK, needs to specify the sexual orientation of the people involved is beyond me). If it was suicide, it was just as likely to be the thought of another series with Davina than anything else that drove her to it.

Fitness trainer Angie Dowd, who featured on ITV's The Biggest Loser, has reportedly fallen or jumped to her death from Beachy Head.

Cartoonist David Langdon, famous for his wartime cartoons featuring Billy Brown from London Town, as well as appearing in Punch, and The Mirror, has died aged 97. His obituary was written by his fellow cartoonist, Denis Gifford, who died in 2000.

Science fiction & fantasy author Anne McCaffrey has died aged 85, following a stroke.

Former Ukraine PM Yulia Tymoshenko is in 'poor health' according to a Ukrainian Human Rights group. No clarification on the nature of the illness but according to President Viktor Yanukovich "... the system (of medical treatment in jail) … is not up to the required standards. So this treatment or medical services will have to be provided in medical institutions in Kiev, in the coming days, either today or tomorrow,"

On the other hand, he's my second DDP hit of the year. Coincidentally, both were former test cricketers.

Sir David Jack, the scientific brain behind the rise of the pharmaceuticals company Glaxo, responsible for the development of (amongst others) Ventolin, the asthma treatment and Zantac, the ulcer medicine. Died aged 87.

Was he a colonel by any chance?

Its quite possible that they did attempt to avoid promotion by only finishing 3rd. They got automatic promotion by virtue of the 1st and 2nd placed teams being the reserve teams of existing top-flight clubs and therefore being ineligible for promotion The previous season they finished fourth. Their previous venture into the top flight was slightly more successful - they lasted 2 seasons before being relegated with 5 points and GD of -139.

The expression 'for free' instead of 'for nothing' or 'free of charge'.

Ronnie's on News at Ten tonight (ITV, UK). I must say, he doesn't look well.

Former Arsenal centre-half Alf Fields has died aged 92. He spent 16 years there as a player, out 47 in total, but played just 19 league games for the first team, owing to war, injury and Leslie Compton.

Truth is stranger than fiction department... Man charged with kidnap of 10-year-old boy BTW, if there are any litigious MJ fans looking in, I'm not suggesting that the late singer ever kidnapped anyone, let alone young boys..

While we're celebrating Fort's stunning form, spare a thought for Estonian Meistriliiga team FC Ajax Lasnamäe, who've finished their season with a record of Played 36, won 0, drawn 4, lost 32, goals for 11, against 192, points 4. You won't be surprised to hear they finished bottom and were relegated (Acknowledgements to The Guardian's The Knowledge column: "Estonian Meistriliiga (top tier) side FC Ajax Lasnamäe, who were promoted to the Meistriliiga this season, ended the season with four points," writes Robi Karhula. "They won zero, drew four and lost 32 matches. In those matches they scored 11 goals and conceded 192 goals resulting in a goal difference of -181. What I'm asking is, have they made a new record in being the worst side in a European top tier league and if not, what team is holding the infamous record?".)

Actress Dulcie Grey, probably most famous for her role in Howard's Way, has died aged 92.

This should see you way into next year... Works of art!

I think someone's been reading the Zsa Zsa thread:

I'm probably as irritated as anyone by these posts but do you really think it will stop them if this thread is closed, seeing how there are a number of other threads open? They'll just show up on the Zsa Zsa Gabor thread!
