Tempus Fugit

Manouchehr Nozari, Iran's first TV star, has died aged 69. A TV pioneer.

Paula Wilcox is doing OK, she had a decent part in the BBC's "The Smoking Room" She's also got her own tribute site, which is more than Dickie 'O has got

The BBC are planning a drama based on the Equatorial Guinea coup. Mark Thatcher will be played by Robert Bathurst. It will be very embarrassing for Margaret Thatcher, this could well give her a stroke.

Oh a definite improvement, I'd watch that.

Frederick L "Dick" Ashworth, has died aged 94. He was the weaponeer on the B29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki. It was his job to arm the bomb.

How dare you wish niceness upon me, You vile villain.

Kenneth Myers a naval veteran of WWI has died aged 107. He was the oldest WWI veteran in Texas.

Ifd you have no photos then it doesn't mean diddly squat. I think you meant to say "It means diddly-squat" The doesn't, would give that sentence the opposite meaning to that which I believe you meant. Sorry

Not really the right thread for this, but as a stupid way to die, this is hard to beat. A definite Darwin award nominee. Steven Zorn promising young rap artist, died aged 22 after accidentally shooting himself with a pen gun. Tragic but also hilarious

Tell me about these "Sight Police" Site Police I believe is an oblique reference to Windsor. Though Special Constable would seem more apt, with the emphasis on the "special". I have no idea who or what the Sight Police are, except possibly guide dog inspectors.

Now the deers are at it. I love the last line of that article, "The carcasses were given to passers-by for butchering" Can you imagine that happening in the UK.

Well sorry folks. I didn't watch this TV program. Maggie used the Royal "we" to describe herself. Unlike Carol, who uses her wee for a quick bit of TV infamy.

That would be very appropriate, as the word assassin comes from the Arabic for Hashish-eater,

Death sounds like a better option.

I don't think Gazza will die from alcoholism. With his exile from football now complete, what is he going to do? He has no other talents at all, he even makes Ian Wright look like a great TV presenter. I think he'll slide into an ever deeper depression and within a few years commit suicide.

If Pinter does last, I think he'll be practically everybody's joker on the DDP. The points will all cancel each other out. Could be a new DDP record for joker successes.

Picking someone already on death row, rather smacks of cheating. Is Tookie famous enough anyway? It would seem to me he's only really become famous since being sentenced to death as the reputation of the gang he helped to found has grown .

Congratulations mpfc, Coincidentally today is my 4 month anniversary, if such a thing is possible.

Another of Saddam's old cronies has died. Mohammad Hamza al-Zubaydi, one time Prime Minister of Iraq, and the Queen of Spades in that infamous pack of cards. He was responsible for ruthlessly putting down the Shia rebellion after the first Gulf war. Good riddance to the scumbag.

That's God's way of telling you to buy a motorbike. Don't believe all that nonsense about them being dangerous, in fact winter is the ideal time to learn to ride a bike.

Was he burned in a fire at all? No that's barbecue sauce, Tom used to use it instead of suntan oil.

That has got to be one of the most disturbing things I have seen on t'internet for some time. Well done. Nothing is as disturbing as a topless Tom Jones.

She looks constipated.

Liu Binyan, a prominent Chinese dissident writer, has died in exile aged 80.

The peace activists are there to support the ordinary Iraqi people, not the insurgents. The stupidity of the left you say, so unlike the stellar intelligence of the Neo Cons.
