    Ah come on. I'm sure some Cardinal may have read a choirboy one of her stories at bedtime...before slipping his hand under the covers.

    Ask A Deathlister

    I gave this a go in a last act of desperation, but sadly it didn't work. My error message has changed now though. It now says I should run Windows Recovery. When I try this, it asks me to restore operating systems, but there is a long list and I don't know what I'm looking for. The end result is that it tries to restore windows and I either end up looking at a) a black screen with a large pointer thing a blank torquoise green screen. I think it's safe to assume that all my documents have been wiped from my computer. If thats the case, I may as well buy a new machine.

    Sounds like a dodgy hard disk to me. Chose zero or more from the following list: Try to boot from CD-ROM and, gingerly, try to look at the HD's content, if any Replace and reinstall everything you had installed on your laptop Hire local Pimply Faced Youth Start saving for new laptop regards, Hein This is what happened to my last laptop. Apparently its because I always have it plugged into charge. I saved all the important files about a month ago. Had a feeling this was about to happen. I'll probably just buy another laptop.

    The 3rd Death Of 2011

    I voted Dom Mintoff, having foolishly forgotten that US bombs will soon be falling over Tripoli. Perhaps cancers the last thing Al Megrahi has to worry about... Edit: I also foolishly forgot that Al Megrahi isn't on this list.

    Gaddafi Guesses

    Gaddafi may have a problem. Learning from the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan, the UN have decided to shoot the place up but not hang around to put the bits back together again...

    The Dead Of 2011

    I misread the headline when I saw it and thought that the Starr in question was Ringo for a moment. Thats some misread bearing mind Ringo was neither in Alice in Chains nor a bassist! Lets face it. If it's not a Cardinal he's none the wiser.

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    Really she hasn't a leg to stand on.... Sorry but sooner or later someone had to! Sooner or later? You've told that joke about 4 times now... Not me, various leg-related puns but not that one It is pretty much the same joke though, eh?

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Considering the IRA blew up the Duke's uncle, I'm sure that the couple have not forgotten the troubles. Do hardline republicans pose a threat? No. They were only able to kill Mountbatten because he was on a private holiday with very little security. Killing a 79 year old tourist on a boating holiday? Anybody could have done that... The BBC tells me that Queenie has only 3 countries to which she has never made a state visit. Ireland and Israel I get but Greece? Are the in-laws that bad? Philip's cousin was turfed off the throne back in the 1973...too soon? Mind you - she could have gone in the first 21 years of her reign. Edit: She has apparently been banned from visiting Israel.
