    The Dead Of 2009

    I always liked Jack Jones, even if he was a scouser.

    Widow(er) Shopping

    Stumbling across this thread clicked on the wikipedia link and discovered Tuulikki Pietilä died back in February. Couldn't find an English-language obit though, which is a shame as she's mentioned in Tove Jansson's Guardian obit (though spelt Tuulikka Pietelä). Here's a Finnish one instead, from Helsingin Sanomat.

    Admittedly the coverage has gone way OTT but try this. If this is her she's a lot more talented than some of the dross the Cowell shows have dredged up so far!

    Margaret Thatcher

    He was interviewed on local news (I believe it was an extract from a half-hour regional opt-out program) back in February, commenting on the recession. He was strolling about the Sussex countryside and looked in remarkably good health for a man of 90, and seemingly still has all of his mental faculties. I was going to link it, but the itvlocal site is being rebuilt!

    A Joke

    I was playing golf with a friend the other day and we caught up with two ladies at the short 13th. They generously let us play through as we were playing faster than them. We reached the green and as my friend was about to putt, one of the ladies teed off and unexpectedly hit an absolutely beautiful shot. Caught my friend full-on. Oh how he screamed, hand between his legs, rolling on the floor in agony. Anyway, the ladies came running up, all apologetic and one of them says, "let me help, I'm a nurse", well my friend was in so much pain he couldn't speak so I said yes for him. She laid him tenderly on his back, carefully undid his trousers, and delicately slid her hand inside. Well, five minutes of gentle massaging and my friend certainly looked better and said to the lady, "thats marvellous, but I still think you broke my thumb!"

    Phil Spector

    Apparently, he's appealing... ...as you can see... According to ITN, when he started going bald, he just turned all the lights off so no-one would see. Must have chosen that syrup in the dark! Video report

    Wishful Thinking Death List

    Some of the people I'd gladly never see again: Russel Brand - never did get him David Beckham - give someone else a go Max Clifford - say no more ManUre fans - not the proper ones, (i.e the over 60's) but the ones who think the team only has to turn up to win Trinny & Susannah - have they taken a look at themselves lately? Bernie Ecclestone - how can someone make so much money from traffic? Leona 'bleedin eardrums' Lewis - sounds like shes in pain and trying to inflict it on the rest of us Simon Cowell - see above I'd also endorse David Van Day, the well-known burger van man. He's a local celebrity y'know, as is Davina McCall, who is very rarely out of the papers now shes moved 35 miles away. Lets throw Mrs Heather Lady Mills McCartney on the pile too. I'm just fed up of her.

    . I don't suppose Max Clifford is Parky's publicist, then? I agree with Parky, interestingly, MSN has a different slant 'Michael Parkinson Slams Jade Goody' Max doesn't seem to agree

    I think it would be a fitting tribute if they made a Bollywood film of her life. Brilliant!

    Where Will The Next School Massacre Be?

    I voted USA, seemed a logical choice, but then I began to have this nagging doubt, that one day US school massacres are going to be so commonplace they won't be reported!
  23. Hello all, Yes, I joined specifically as a result of St. Jade of Bermondsey. I hope to be around a while and make a contribution where I can. Time!

    Been a sporadic lurker for a while now - I forget who I googled - but registered because I knew I'd find like-minded individuals who would agree when i said hooray! Not that I wish anyone dead (well very few) but at least now the media circus willl end. OK give it a month or two. Hello to all those I've been reading over the past couple of years. (You don't know who you are but you've given me some laughs)
