But you do get all the best jobs and better pay.... ...oh wait.

Bargain Hunt isn't even on telly at that time....

I wonder if they'll play 'Ashes to Ashes' at his funeral? Fade to Black?

James Last has said that his concerts in April will be his.....Last

The phenomenon is called metathesis, and might be responsible for a historical sound change. In this case, although nowadays "aks" is considered to be non-standard (dialectal), it has a long history that predates the birth of Modern English. Geoffrey Chaucer and many older texts has used the "ax" variant instead of ask (asc)... Didn't Leslie Phillips work with Geoffrey Chaucer?

Late Again Today - musical collaborators with Jeff Lynne

I won't quote because it will take up too much room but I presume the John Smith (Scottish minister) is a different one to the one who went on to lead the labour party?

I got 4/7, but I do know that Dada(ism), Futurism and Cubism are artistic movements rather than moments! I got 4/7 as well but I though the Rosencrantz question was a bit vague. R&GAD is a brilliant play and the movie is just as good but I would not seek out Stoppard plays

Most gay people I know are uber health freaks and kick up a real fuss if you light up a cigarette in their vicinity, and the only "drugs" they take are mineral and vitamin supplements. So I'm not sure what research Evan Davies has done to prove this statement, or where his definition of "drugs" begins. Maybe this is a coded confessional. In the vein of I have a friend who is a bit fat....

The for us most disturbing sentence in that piece is this: Since Harper is a mere 88, her membership of our list may be premature. regards, Hein But from what I can gather she relied on Alice to stop people taking advantage of her. Just being over 100 doesn't stop you being big sister. So, which of us is suitably qualified to offer to take Harper's power of attorney and look after her? Personally, I'd be tempted to suggest she promote the new book by becoming a late entrant in the reality TV spectacle that is The Jump. Probably less potentially fatal than appearing on Loose Woman because if I had to encounter that banal collection of Harpies I would want to top myself.

No this is important as many people will assume they are still registered as they have been previously. This is going to mostly affect Students and people who live in multi-occupancy units. This was a change brought in by Labour to move to individual rather than household registration but the argument goes that it has suited the Tories not to bring it to the attention of the above groups too blatently as those people probably wouldn't vote Tory. That argument might hold some weight if the letters didn't say on the envelope the way we register vote is changing. Assuming people saw the letters and didn't just chuck them out with all the other junk mail. There was a similar issue about the letters that went out about data sharing in the NHS. The programme had to be postponed because most people weren't aware of the issue. This should have been supported by a media campaign. This is a problem caused (or at least not helped) by the semi-privatisation of Royal Mail. Back in the 'good old days' you could be pretty sure that what the postie left on your doormat was actual post that needed at least some attention; now that the PO has to pay for itself they're obliged to take just about anything. Of course, if it was obvious that the junk mail on your doormat was junk, we'd just throw it away so in order to get us to look at said junk mail in amongst the pizza menus and window cleaners flyers, the canny marketeer dresses it up to look like its important by putting it in an envelope. Consequently, many assume that the anonymous looking envelope addressed 'to the occupier' (as my registration letter was) is another marketing letter from Virgin Media (other just as irritating mass-marketeers are available). That's my theory fwiw. Well we got a letter but it was only addressed to me, I actually had to contact my council to check that it included my wife and daughter as I expected them to get individual registration letters as otherwise it rather defeats the object.

There is a street in a town in Northamptonshire called Bell End.

Pride & Prejudice and Zombies - cast and crew of 1995 BBC adaptation of much loved Jane Austen novel. This could be quite a good team option. Whilst watching this for the agillionth time ( a number so large I had to make up a new word for it) I realised that no major cast member has shuffled off, even some of the older minor players are still with us. Twenty years on.

No-one has played their joker on Stuart Hall which is a pity because the irony itself would have been worth a few extra bonus points

Not sure whether this is meaningful insight or stating the bleeding obvious but Evan Davies says Gay people take more drugs

We got of the starting grid quickly enough but now it looks like we ploughed straight into the back of service vehicle. There was a news item the other night that said the current deathrate in the UK is running well above the seasonal average. Someone has got to go soon surely.

I just read in the news that King Albert and Queen Paola must resend 150 cards in which they express gratitude for condolences at Queen Fabiola's death. The original card stated Queen Paola's death as the occasion. regards, Hein The dangers of copy and paste.

Third hit from this list from last August with Beryl Platt dying. you missed out Philip Knights who died in December. you must keep up ! Thank you - whoever you are. I struggle to pay attention during the festive season.

But Baroness Williams still seems robust and I think will last a few years yet as will Betty Boothroyd. Jim Prior (b.1927) and Patrick Jenkin (b.1926) might be worth a punt though.

Ask Donald Dewar..

This reminds me of what Clive James had to say on the prospect of Australia becoming a republic. He said that he would be minded to stand for the role of president because he could envisage two possibilities. Firstly the post would purely be ceremonial and would just require someone charasmatic with could communications skills for which he felt he would be perfectly qualified or it would be a post of real power and the thought of anyone else doing it terrified him. I do not think that Australia should just dismiss the prospect of Republicanism but it should be part of a discussion about what Australians want Australia to be. I think even the Queen would accept that concept.

To be honest, as a citizen of a country where royal titles, peerages and knighthoods were abolished decades ago, I have to confess that I am not the greatest fan of the royal family. For me, Prince Phillip always seemed like a lucky but utterly useless halfwit, who married well but didn't really have a proper job (or genuine achievements) at any time in his life, and someone who (along with his grandkid Harry) periodically embarasses the countries of which his wife is a sovereign with his gaffes and stupidity. I also knew that he was already well decorated, so what does a 456th medal/title even mean to him? And knowing that his wife is the sovereign of Australia, I thought that he would be knighted either by her or his own son, Charles, which seemed like a ridiculous idea. All in all, it may not be unusual, but for me, it seemed like a waste of a perfectly good opportunity to honour someone with... well, some actual achievements or efforts put into making Australia a better place. I'm putting you on my list of enemies... Now that is a true honour.
