Tony Blackburn. He's beyond parody these days.

My mother absolutely hated Eamonn Andrews for some reason, this has always clouded my opinion of him too. I was shocked when he died though, remember hearing it on the radio getting raedy for school. It might have been his musical prowess: .

AOL UK Surely up there in the top 1 or 2 of the worst of the ISP's. Three more days and they're history. (That'll probably be around the time the page updates following this post).

The ultimate DL tease? Boxer dies 24 years after falling into coma.

Legendary Cinicinatti Reds and Detroit Tigers manager Sparky Anderson has died aged 76.

Punch Gary Neville in the face! or Maggie Thatcher.

Prolific actor Frank Jarvis died back in September (15th). He appeared in just about every popular TV show from Dixon of Dock Green to Grange Hill but his "claim to film immortality" is as one of the gang of robbers in The Italian Job. He was 69.

Fuck off. No way is that creature's death more significant Norman Wisdom's. Or indeed Dame Joan Sutherland's... Or Billy Jones. Talented musician and a good friend of mine, way too young (67).

Most of mine it would seem. Still, I'll stick with them, its only a matter of time. Abdelbaset Al-megrahi appears to have been a waste, as he's as fit and healthy now as he was when he was released (or possibly more so).

What? Can we have the bench checked for 'possible mental health issues'? The guys clearly not playing with a full deck.

Given that it's a private hospital, why would they be in any hurry to discharge her?

I hope she BURNS IN HELL - labour councillor Florence Anderson. Mrs T must be revelling in all this attention, its like she never went away!

Simples. Or more specifically those morons (simples-tons?) who persist in using this word when the mean 'simple'. Especially when said with a faux-Russian accent. And those cretins who have put it in the dictionary, thus affording it some credibility.

Actress Lisa Blount, who played Debra Winger's best friend in 'An Officer and a Gentleman', has been found dead at rthe age of 53. She had been suffering with a condition similar to Multiple Sclerosis for 17 years according to her mother.

An ex-pat living in Bulgaria writes... Twisted maybe, sad no.

Read some 'Letters to the Editor'.

I have no idea, but I had a look at the Wikipedia list of Class A drugs. It seems to me the relevant substances are: Cocaine Heroin LSD Methamphetamine Ecstasy Heroin doesn't seem to fit well with Gazza. He's a boozer and alcohol and smack don't mix well. Crystal meth isn't very popular in Europe. LSD is possible, but hard to find these days. My guess is coke or XTC as an outside bet. regards, Hein Cocaine, according to the Horror.

Georges Frêche, former mayor of Montpelier has died aged 72. I mention this merely because some of his statements make Prince Philip the epitome of diplomacy. On the Algerians who fought with the French: On the election of Pope Benedict XIV: On former PM Laurent Fabius: (Fabius is Jewish) He also commissioned an eclectic set of statues honouring heroes of the 20th century, including Churchill, DeGaulle and Lenin.

Alexander Anderson Jnr, creator of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Dudley Do-Right has died aged 90.

Turriff eh. Thats not too far away from me. If I had an interest in football I might have went... If you don't have an interest, why on earth are you reading the thread? Because at some point they may come to Fraserburgh. Even though I have no interest in football, I might put in the effort if they come to me. Is that alright with you? Of course its alright with me. Why wouldn't it be? I was just confused as to why someone who professes no interest in football would be reading a football-based thread.

No, I was just curious, as our local Tesco now has a 'hot pie' oven, and on impulse I bought one. (They do smell nice, and are hot, unlike those from Gregg's). I noticed that the ingredients listed pork sausage meat (25%), so got to wondering how much (or rather how little) pork there actually was. As far as it being arsehole and lips, theres no point in being squeamish if you're prepared to eat sausages!

One for the Jamie Olivers out there... A pork sausage has to contain a minimum 42% pork, but how much pork sausage should a sausage roll contain? Does the sausage meat in a sausage roll have to conform to the same standards as a normal sausage?
