Windsor

Most Scottish 'traditions' were created in the 19th Century. Scotland seemed to be consumed by a distinctive Highland culture, something from which we still suffer from today. One of the best examples of this is the wearing of the kilt. These days if it is not plastered in tartan, it is not Scottish.

Deathlist legend's statue to be unveiled.

Another bus complaint. On my way home on Tuesday, there were two junkies on the bus. First of all, they could not sit still. They went from seat to seat which was fairly annoying. The gradually made it to the back of the bus. I was sitting in the seat one row before the back, so they took two of the seats behind me. The arseholes started smoking on the bus. Inconsiderate f***kers. Like a couple of 12 year olds sneaking a ciggy at school. They then proceeded to ask the young man sitting beside them if he wanted to try a 'Jelly' (?). He said no. They then assured him that it would be ok because they were not expensive. Again, he said no. People like that should be shot.

A male PE teacher at my school used to 'accidentally' walk into changing rooms while people (boys or girls) were getting changed. This earned him the nickname 'Poofy Lou'. Poofy Lou later 'retired' after pushing a girl in to a wall before locking her in a cupboard...

They are saying that Speight hanged himself. Seems odd to me. Why go to a train station to commit suicide that way? He could have done that at home...

A very bad joke someone told me today: There was a man just arrived at the Golf Club. He went in and ordered a pint. The barman said no, and explained that he couldn't serve him a drink as he would be driving later on. Another bad one (can't remember if I posted this): Q) Why do birds fly South in the Winter? A) Because it's too far to walk. The second joke was delivered by a politics lecturer trying to be funny...he wasn't.

If the Royal Family wanted Diana dead, they could have legally had her executed for treason. She was the wife of the heir to the throne, and admitted having an affair. Therfore she commited treason (aparantly), punishable by death.

I voted Rev. Billy Graham. So is Pollack ill or something?

I wonder what al Fayed's next move will be. This won't be the last we hear of it. Unless he has an accident of his own...

Britannia Will not appear on British coinage for the first time in centuries.

Richard Widmark is the 5th success of 2008. He is the 165th since 1987. The 2008 list is now in 15th place, shared with 1992 and 1993, out of a possible 22 lists.

No. I meant real work as in course work which might actually count for something.

I was reading through some old Scottish documents on Friday when I read some surprising ages of death. The publication was The Scots Magazine from between 1739-1790. I was looking through the obiturary sections looking for some of my own ancestors. On passing glances, there appeared to be an awful lot of 100+ deaths. I was surprised to see a number who were said to be over 110. There was one man who was said to be 130 when he died. Obviously they are probably bullshitters (whether knowling so or not). This is just one of the many things that distracts me from doing real work...

Having read that sh*t heap of a post, I will give you but one tiny bit of advice. Do get over yourself. If you don't, I will find out where you live and pay the drug barrons of my Royal burgh of regality to travel down to your fine town so that they might twat you to death with copies of Dr. Johnston's book (that's how we use dictionaries up this way). regards Windsor the Troll of Fraserburgh

I was going to post it here, but the search feature was 'doing my head in'.

Mr. C could simply be correcting the DL Committee who seem to think she is 98 years old (according to the front page). Thus Mr. C is simply saying she is not 98. Zsa Zsa is 91.

Brian Wilde dies aged 86. He played 'Foggy' in Last of the Summer Wine.

Happy Birthday, GR.

It still means McCartney has to foot the bill. I wonder how much he would have got had the shoe been on the other foot. I think Heather now maybe is to dance like a jig on her one real leg, she has so much money, to boot. And her offspring will be very wealthy someday when she pops her clog. That ruling will have her partying until all hours, getting absolutely legless. (Better late that never)

I voted for Billy Graham. I would have voted for Thatcher if she was on the list.

I dreamt that Margaret Thatcher died last night. I woke up at about fourish in the firm belief that she was dead. I then thought it would be a good idea to check teletext. I can remember checking teletext and seeing that she was infact dead, so I must have fallen asleep and dreamt about checking teletext. When I woke up properly at 6am, I was convinced that she was dead. I checked teletext again but there was nothing about her death. It was all just a dream - a very vivid dream - which, for a short time, I believed to be true.

No. Kill them. Kill them all. Especially the hot water tart. Honez you're such a liberal. They should be condemned to listen to Banshees Scream posts read aloud for the duration of their journeys. I think that earphones would be enough to solve the problem. Either that, or a ban on dance music with the shitty high-pitched singing. Windsor, sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but have you ever considered chinning one of them? A bit of menace usually works quite well with these people. regards, Godot Good idea Godot. But statistically speaking, I'd probably end up being knifed.

£24.3 million A far cry from the £100-odd million she wanted.
