    The Deathlist Howto

    Since the upgrade I have accidentally clicked on the posters name rather than the 'last post' option on the main board...so if everybody is making the same error that could account for it. Then again, I may just be a retard. Be that as it may, I think you're on to something. As you may have noticed, when you hover your mouse pointer over the link to the writer of the last post in a topic, the new Forum Software (which still confuses me) opens her/his/its profile. If this counts as a view, view counts can go up PDQ. regards, Hein I've done the same thing - more than once.

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    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.

    Political Frailty

    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,"

    Fort William Football Club

    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.

    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..

    Fort William Football Club

    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?".)
