    New hip at 93. You have got to be joking! My old next door neighbour had two new hips in her 80's but having them knocked her for six. For best recovery the doctors need the patient to be up and mobile on the new hip very quickly. I don't think there's any chance she could do that, being half paralized and already wheelchair bound. Very high chance of DVT's and clots going round in her blood stream. I think it's under 6 months tops now folks - since I can't see her being strong enough to recover from this major operation.

    Let's hope she sees the New Year in. DDP here I come...

    Do you recall at school when a footy (or in my case Rugby or Cricket) match was to be arranged; and there were two captains who took it in turns to select players? I was always the penultimate* player to be picked, just before the spotty oik with bottle bottom glasses.

     

    Well I think that my team must have consisted of all of those, and not knowing the name of a single footballer (apart from some spud faced nipper called Mooney or Rooney or somesuch) I really was never in the running.

     

    Did win £40 on Spain in the sweep though.

     

    *(So much classier than Second To Last)

    Penultimate? You lucky bastard. I was that spotty oik with bottle bottom glasses and remember it well. Some of the captains would rather go short than pick me. I'd have given anything to be second from last.

    I was the Captain. It didn't matter who I picked, because I had me on my team. Obviously, we always won.

    Multiple killer William Garner was executed in Ohio today. His last meal was quite a feast:

     

    Porterhouse steak with A1 sauce, onion rings, fried shrimp, barbecue ribs, potato wedges with cheese, sweet potato pie, chocolate ice cream, barbecue wings, salad, Funyuns and Hawaiian punch. B)

     

    I'm really not sure I'd enjoy such a large meal so close to my execution. I think, perhaps, I'd be more likely to enjoy a light snack with a double brandy. Do any Deathlisters have a preferred last meal option?

    I'd want a garden salad prepared with fresh kurinji plant flowers, which bloom only once every twelve years, and fresh Haleakala Silversword flowers which flower once in their 15-50 year lifecycle.

    The chance of both of them flowering simultaneously to produce a nice fresh salad might have me waiting for my lunch for quite a while.

    I'm surprised it hasn't made an appearance here yet; surely I'm not the only one to hate the vuvuzela?

    It's bad enough I've had to endure midnight and 4am kick offs, but to have to suffer the infernal vuvuzela in the wee hours is getting beyond a joke.

     

    I can save you the bother of those early starts and annoying noises. GERMANY will win. You can relax now.

    This must be true, I saw it on the Internet here.

    Argentina had won the FIFA World Cup twice. First in 1978 and second in 1986. When these years are summed up gets 3964. And that is the magic figure!

    In 1970 and 1994 Brazil won the cup and the sum of the years it is 3964.

    In 1962 and 2002 Brazil were champions again. When summed up gets 3964! In 1974 and 1990 Germany won the FIFA World Cup. Just look at the sum. It is again 3964!

    So this year ??? It will be 3964 – 2010 = 1954 , the winner of 1954. It is none other than Germany!

    Woooohooooo!!!!!!! I'm free from Facebook! Mark Zuckerberg can kiss my ass! So can all the people from my high school I don't care about and my family!

    I've never seen the fascination in gifting big brother corporations information to data mine and correlate, all under the guise of a stalking keeping in touch.

    Same thing with flybuys and credit card "rewards" schemes. There's no way I'm letting third party corporates know what/where/when I buy (adding to the data mine) just for some "credits" that might get me a kettle in ten years time.

    I don't have anything to hide, but as sure as shite I'm not going to open myself to whatever nefarious schemes these corporations have in mind. I am a person, not data to be exploited.

    "Like."

     

    For example, ""We were, like, puzzled," said her father, Dr Santhosh Thomas. "I'm like, well, she's kinda six years old and this is not something that should be typical."

     

    The man is a Doctor for crying out loud. Doctor of what I wonder; Fuckwittery?

    bathroom break

     

    HTF did this hideous expression creep into Wimbledon?

     

    One does not require a bathroom to (let's pick a random British euphemism) 'spend a penny'; merely - as our US friends might say, and no disrespect intended towards Mr Isner - a john. Could we not use a more accurate term? Your suggestions welcome.

    Let's pinch another USism and go for crapshoot.

    i no england will win .

    Five words, four mistakes and misspelled your own moniker (or you like standing on doors).

    A definite, dyed-in-the-wool England fan.

     

    Five mistakes, England won't win.

    Not sure about the misspelled moniker, He could be known as Strange Ron - the Door.

    Or a misspelled Strange Ron Theodore.

    By the way, raise your hand if you find this offensive?

    What? Do we find the tee-shirt offensive, the fact that the shops were visited by the plod, or the article? You really need to be a little more precise Mr Windsor.

    Just for the record, I think the shirts are great, the fact you can buy them in stores on the High Street is great, but the plod wasting their time on it is ridiculous.

    Does this basically mean that England are out of the World Cup?

     

    (I understand that they are not officially out, but realistically speaking...)

     

    They need to beat Slovenia. Not a given, considering the performances of both sides so far...

     

    Is that the only condition?

    Not something along the lines of they qualify if the beat Slovenia, but only provided the team x wins or loses to team y?

    If they beat Slovenia, they're through regardless. Whether they go through in first or second spot depends on the results and scores.
