Tempus Fugit

Frankie and Annette.

Haggis tatties and neeps. Think'll I'll stick with the smoky bacon crisps.

Any Evidence? Was it in the Sun? Seeing as his career died many years ago, it's only appropriate that he should follow suit.

Yes indeed, the worst. No, that award must go to the Guardian. There's nothing worse than champagne-socialists who think they are clever. Never having read The Guardian I wouldn't know. But I believe Polly Toynbee writes for them, which says it all really.

Yes indeed, the worst.

Are you referring to "Brave New World"? If so it's well worth the read, SPAM day.

"Raised on a dairy farm near Watertown, Wisconsin, Raabe was the son of first-generation German-Americans. His parents were of normal height, as was his sister, and they were convinced Raabe would start growing, too, until doctors discovered that his pituitary gland was malfunctioning. He is, in clinical terms, a pituitary midget" So not a dwarf, but a pituitary midget. I'm starting to change my mind on Meinhardt, I think he'd make a good DeathList pick as the oldest living Munchkin.

Yes Happy Birthday CP, Those teen years are naught but a memory now. Middle-age is but an eye blink away.

The only correct answer to that question is, Too many. Doctor Who is to SciFi what The Sun is to informed opinion.

No you wouldn't, you'd keep silent and hope that everybody thought it was true.

Another "Darwin Awards" candidate I'd say. Alcohol and guns a very, very bad mix.

There seem to be a lot of journos in there, The PCC is a toothless watchdog, even if a Newspaper is forced to print a retraction, that retraction is usually only tiny in comparison to the original article. To be fair any retraction or apology should have to be on the exact page and be the exact same size as the original article.

True, I'll give you that one. So I assume the matter was taken up with the Press Complaints Commission, free of charge. Now who runs the impartial PCC, Oh yes members of the press.

Was there any legal action taken? I doubt it. It's virtually impossible for an ordinary person to take out a libel action in this country. The costs are totally prohibitive.

Highest number of journos with firsts out of all the media in the UK I think. Writing dumbed down copy is an artform in itself and shouldn't be dismissed. You may not like the editorial diktat but there's nothing wrong with the writing (apart from some of the twunt columnists that is). The best they can do with their Firsts, is to write crap in The Sun, What a waste of an education.

Does The Sun actually employ writers Fiction writers I suppose, as it certainly contains no journalism. I'm sorry to have to do this, but I'm not putting up with the contunued slagging-off of Sun journalists. I have never worked for them myself, although I have spent several years with the Mirror Group, but I have to say that the Sun's writers are among the most talented journos in the world. It isn't easy for intelligent people to write stories in a way that the, erm, less educated will understand. Look at the people who work at the Sun - why do you think they have people from all around the world there? Working for the Sun is considered to be the highest level a print journalist can reach - and all they get is the same pseudo-intellectual bollocks for Guardian-reading tw*ts to praise them for it. Thanks for the ranting space. A family member of mine was in a Sun article, the entire thing was bullshit, full of half truths and downright lies. The scumbags who write this crap deserve to be kneecapped.

I think you'll find mpfc was referring to this show. Grandad, fair enough. Thinking about it...an man pretending to be a grandad figure when he is actually younger. Then that man disappears abroad for years and is hardly ever heard from. Perhaps Dunny should re-realease Grandad as a duet with Gary Glitter. what a foul slur on dear old Clive. You've tainted his thread by mentioning the name Gli**er.

Some more lovely Dickie O' pics, From his 1980 book "Man about the Kitchen"

Maybe this thread should now be renamed the Carlisle United discussion area. How dare you sully Dickie O's thread with such trivia. Is nothing sacred.

Dr. Hackenslash, oh my lord what an achievement, puts Bruno to shame. I remember those dim and distant days (last August) when my 20 posts caused a certain indignation, how the times have changed.

A new judge has taken over Raouf Abdul Rahman, who was born in Halabja, where Saddam used poison gas to kill 5,000 Kurds. The authorities are still trying to persuade Judge Rizgar to return.

I bet after the sex change op, old Hitler had thought he'd got away with it. And he would have as well if it hadn't of been for that pesky Windsor.

Don't be silly Godot, everyone knows Jimmy Hill died from injuries sustained in a nasty chin related accident.
