    It was utterly shit, but I used to love Knots Landing. William Devane was such a bad good baddie!

    I used to watch that too. The on/off affair between Devane's character and Paige Matheson - played by Nicolette Sheridan was , in my view, vomit inducing, though!

    Peter Boatman,the director of operations at the firm which supplied the Tasers used during the stand off with Moat, has apparently committed suicide..

     

    Did he use a properly licensed weapon?

    Hope so - there's bound to be another inquiry if he didn't! :P That psychopathic ginger nut has a lot to answer for!

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but there's an fascinating contemporary account of death by rabies in the latest issue of the "Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report" (the link opens up a PDF document and you need to scroll down to page eight). One of the symptoms of the early stages of the unfortunate victim's illness was that he

     

    "...developed spontaneous ejaculation occurring up to once per hour"

    Coming and going, eh? :P

    I was really surprised to discover today that Hollywood actress, Jane Russell is still in the land of the living.

     

    Was'nt it Jane Russell who was on BBC's "the one show" about 3 months ago? - and I'm sure she looked very well.

    Was she? Obviously, I didn't see it. I looked her up today, because of a conversation I had with my mum, who was certain that Russell and Eleanor Parker were both dead. She was wrong on both counts.

    Jimi Heselden, the president of the Segway Corporation, has died aged 62 after riding his Segway off of a cliff.

    Not a great advertisment for the safety and stability of his invention, is it..

     

    All the reports I've read speak of his family making an emotional visit to the scene etc. I mean, it smacks of suicide, but there's no suggestion along those lines........so far.

     

    Has there been a more ironic departure since the bloated carcass of Mr Atkins - of Atkins Diet fame - expired on a New York pavement?

    Suicide..? I don't think so. He was most likely practicing some complicated death defying stunt, with a view to replacing Ben Collins as The Stig on the next series of Top Gear! :)

     

    I heard he was testing the new amphibious version, the Segway Seaway.

    Obviously, it needs some more work - the security features leave a lot to be desired..

    Renault Megane race cracking shunt. And she walked away!
    Typical woman driver, manages to crash on a relatively straight bit of road. She oughta try driving through the rather bendy Sally in the Woods in a Fiat 128 at rather-too-many miles per hour, losing the back end on a hill with a rather large drop to the left, regaining control, and carrying on to the cinema to watch Terminator 2, all without shitting her pants. Bet she can't :)
    I have to agree. A sigifiicant number of women drivers should never have been granted a licence to begin with - the blue rinse brigade trundling along at 30mph in their Micras, and the mothers behind the wheels of huge four wheel drives on the school run or in the supermarket carpark immediately come to mind.

    I don't want to sound politically correct, but by the same reasoning many men should be banned from driving.

    Quite possibly true, but in my experience, the 60+ female driver is a about the worst and most dangerous there is.
