    Robert Mugabe

    Interesting article it seems that there may be something to this. However it doesn't look like Morgan Tsvangirai is going to be in a position to enjoy it as speculation is mounting about his health

    Clive James

    From this article ''But the trick is not to overdo it and don't do it too long. As my friend PJ O'Rourke once told me, he said, 'You're going to have to soft pedal this death's door stuff, Clive, because people are going to get impatient.' '' Are there any particular people he might mean?

    The sheer awesomeness of this guy cannot be measured. Long Live Christopher.

    Clive James

    he won't be on the list in 2015 because he's dead allready? That was the point I was trying to make. Thank you for the additional clarity I am sure all the other posters here would welcome these interventions to make our ranting drivel intelligible to all.

    Only 1 pick each for Malcolm and Maya. keeps the scoreboard ticking over.

    Deathrace 2014

    He was given the all clear for his testicular cancer yonks ago and his chrohns is not going to kill him any time soon. Weird/stupid choice. Would you care to reconsider these comments?

    Political Frailty

    Scarily they got over a million votes in the EU election. 1 in 60 people in Britain think there worth a vote... Maybe there are some people who will give the Lib Demsthe credit for being the only mainstream party to see that Europe has potential and it would be better if we took the decision to be one of the architects of the new Europe and creating Europe's place at the World's top table rather than be willing to be reduced to the 51st state. He also understood that by going into coalition which was the right decision for the country at the time he put the country before the party. In my mind he sold his support cheap and should not have signed up for the full five years. I do not think a change of leader would reverse the party's fortunes at this time. Before all this gets out of hand turnout at the Euro elections was just about half that at the last General Election. This is a key point.

    Clive James

    On Monday morning he read his recent poem on Radio 4's Today programme prior to the broadcast of the interview today. It was very moving but I do not think Clive will be on the list in 2015.

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    In order to atone for going off topic here I will post a list of things i like in Room Lovely look you. In the near future. I do not want to define myself be negative associations.

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    Oh I forgot Nigel Farage David Cameron/Geroge Osbourne/Michael Gove/Jeremy Hunt/Owen Patterson (I had to put them all on the same line so no-one thinks I hate one more than the other.

    That is quite harsh on those robot scientists. If someone delivered me a robot that looked like that I would demand my money back.

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    Have you tried enduring the, er... "banter" between Richard Osman and Alexander Armstrong on Pointless? Come back and try and tell me you're a hard case after that. (Don't worry I'll have some tissues ready for you.) Richard and Alexander are tea-time gods and should not be dissed. Speak quietly you never know who might be listening. Oh come on you don't even find Osman just a little bit cheesy? I mean I realise he kind of "knows" he's being cheesy in a way but it's still incredibly annoying. I know you like Eurovision so you either have a massive resistance/tolerance to cheese or an outright fetish for it. Whatever..... Yes they know they are being cheesy but they are also being very slightly (in a BBC sort of way) subversive. Watching AA trying to keep a straight face when a contestant gives a really stupid answer is just priceless. I do have a high tolerance for a lot of things but there are somethings that I have a very low tolerance for: Jazz Jack Nicolson Jim Davison The X Factor Ricky Gervais Holly Willoughby Catchphrase Ridley Scott Films There are probably more but I do not want to vent my bile at lunchtime.

    Fidel Castro

    Fidel "lived like a king" and had the mentality of a "pirate of the Caribbean". 638 assasination attempts throughout his life must be the all-time record. His ex lover agreed to take him out after conspiring with the CIA but she couldn't do it because she loved him. Aaaahhhh, what a lovely story...

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    No contradiction. All children could be seen as a blessing from God even those conceived through fertility treatments.

    João Havelange

    Sam Neill will be playing Joao in the film United Passions alongside Gerard Depardieu as Jules Rimet and Tim Roth as Sepp Blatter. Don't expect a tell all expose of corruption this is being reported as a FIFA bankrolled vanity project. Sepp has been to Cannes (like he needs another holiday)

    Please Let It Be... Paul McCartney

    If he really wanted to take revenge on them, he'd subject them to a 30 minute live version of "Hey Jude" Or "Hey, I just thought I'd sing some of Linda's songs"

    Paul takes revenge on the Japenese for throwing him into prison
