    Elaine Stritch And Donald Sinden

    When I heard Donald Sinden has died I could only think about the "Someone famous has died.." Spitting Image sketch where Donald was phoning all his luvvie chums to see if they were still alive...

    Scottish Independence

    Hehe, if it's a son, they'll call him Duncan or Malcolm. Seriously don't rule out James.... Too catholic... Apparently alongside Henry it is leading the early betting. However the fact that Viscount Severn is called James probably will go against it. Victoria and Elizabeth for the girls. Diana... Middle name. (One of many)

    Scottish Independence

    I always quite liked Douglas. I did think that he might be reasonably well positioned if (when) Ed gets the boot. If Scotland break away that won't happen. Some people have tried to link David Cameron's job to the outcome of the referenndum but will Alex Salmond step down as First Minister if there is a No vote?

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    The two writers who gave us Logan's Run are both still with us and worthy of future consideration William F Nolan (b.1928) and George Clayton Johnson (b.1929).

    Political Frailty

    Labour have selected 09th October for the by-election which makes it the same day as Clacton. This should go to script as a straight forward Labour Hold but one factor that might be worth considering is that this part of Manchester was the home constituency of Lee Rigby.

    Colin Baker has announced that Rani co-creator Jane Baker has died That is DDP points for someone.

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    The fact that he feels he has to deny a report in the National Enquirer means he is pretty defensive. I thought they way the publication was put together was to have one hat with names of celebrities in and another with a range of shock revelations and the pick one out of each and write the story. They probably also come onto this site and say which one shall we pretend we have evidence of to say they are dying - "That really winds these guys up"

    World's Oldest

    We have a thread about running out of Dicks elsewhere. Does anyone know if Fannys are in short supply yet? It is worse than that they are being wantonly destroyed. I recently saw a reprint of Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree and Fanny has had her name changed.

    Two weeks after I posted this Richard Attenborough died. Yesterday it was four weeks. Will we get another one? No 19 possibly?

    Obituary in the i this morning courtesy of the West Lothian questioner Tam Dalyell. He must be worth considering when Denis Healy finally goes.

    Stephen Hawking

    New film about Stephen Hawking starring Eddie Redmayne is being tipped as an outsider for an Oscar nod. Could it do with a bit of extra publicity like the Nelson Mandela movie?

    Scottish Independence

    Fuck all to do with him whether the bitch is retained in any form. We will be 'democratic' after a 'Yes', and if we say 'boot the hoor', he will have to follow. Imo, the SNP have held this back for decades (even though I have always voted 'Nat'), as if they had made it clear they would disband afterwards, then that would have overcome many objections. But that would need to be another national poll and one I don't think AS will want to go for unless he has a desire to become President Salmond.

    Crew Of USS Enterprise

    They're both licensed characters who've been played by more than one actor and part of very lucratice franchises, so the demise of either would be sad for more than virgins. It'd probably come about because global financial collapse had rendered their respective franchises worthless. That's a logical argument, right? I think Virgin were quite sad when their Doctor Who book franchise ended.

    Maybe she was aware of this before she decided to do the tours "Bugger, I need to buy an big new secluded extensive house as befits the mysterious Queen of British Pop but I have spent all my money on privately educating my son....... What to do, what to do?"

    Only Fools And Horses

    Did anyone see this article yesterday? We should sent this to anyone who complains we are sick and ghoulish for posting on this site. However my collection of Terry Pratchett Signed first editions are not for sale before or after his death.
