The Four Horsemen

Must be something to do with dead people being relieved of their soles.......

3 pages of posts since he died and no-one has done a "decomposing" joke yet? I thought that was mandatory for all dead musicians..........

Surely your preference for all things Tory has managed that comprehensively

Same here - although not the same celebs, obviously.

I'd rather like that quote to be included in my funeral address.......

But not in the Marc Almond/Jimmy Somerville urban myth "mine's a pint" kind of way, at a guess..........

I think he's managing to be angry quite well........

BB, have you ever been to Golders Green?

Oh the irony, the irony.......

Do you ever get to thinking that we must be some of the only people in the world, outside of their immediate family, for whom this news has any interest? And the people from Guinness, presumably.......

In the 17th Century they had Bills of Mortality (I'm sure I've mentioned this before somewhere) and they had all manner of amusing causes of death - things like apathy and frightened!

I'm alarmed that they seem to have confused me with Norman St John Stevas - must get a better description next time.......

I'm from 1975.......I take your point.......

Only if she has a succession of dodgy curries, surely?

Yes, unlike most of BS's posts.........

I take it when you said "cherry" you meant "marbles"?

...Ted Rogers? Ok, maybe he was clever to do that 3-2-1 finger flip with his eyes crossed, but in what way is he classic comedy? Anyone who has a dustbin with a smiley face as a mascot is unlikely to put much of a dent in the anals of comedy. Annals. Whatever. TED ROGERS IS A GENIUS. 3 2 1 IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SHOWS EVER IN THE UK. I hope you approve of the avatar, Mr Benny

I think you'll find "paedo" is the correct spelling.......... Nice sentiments though, Happy Christmas!

I've entered (the competition, not anything else recently!) and have heard nothing back from the admin team responsible - poor show if you ask me!

Bloody queue jumper!

Absolutely

Well, I'm not saying that there's much doubt as to his guilt or his threat to society but I don't see how executing him achieves anything more than keeping him locked up out of the way. It doesn't change history and on a personal level I don't think I'd want the responsibility for another person's death, regardless of who they were. Society rightly criminalises those who kill, I just don't agree with juducial killing being acceptable where murder isn't - the deliberate removal of somebody's life is murder is murder is murder in my book. Does execution bring society down to the level of a murderer? What about those people who aren't entirely responsible for their own actions (mentally ill, schizophrenics etc)? If somebody was to suggest putting all of the convicted murderers etc on an island somewhere and leaving them to fend for themselves then I'd fewer qualms, provided the surrounding ocean was suitably shark infested and the island was several thousand miles away from the nearest mainland..........

First, you tell me what it would achieve?

Mind you, if anything was going to drive you back to the bottle you'd think it'd be sitting next to Iain St John for 10 years!

Jimmy Greaves in doing a nationwide tour next year entitled "Greavsie and Friends" I believe, taking in such historic and venerated theatres as Stevenage Leisure Centre.....apparently it's an evening of reminiscences - probably won't be a long evening where Greavsie's concerned. "Got up, opened bottle of whisky, started drinking, can't remember anything else"
