    Stan Lee

    Depends on why he has been given it. My father had one fitted over 10 years ago and he is now 83 and still going.

    Happy Birthday Jimmy. 88 Today. My thoughts are that Jimmy will still not be the next former president to pass away.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    This is a bit scary as quite a few of the cast of this show have died relatively young. We have just started watching it through. Very Sad.

    A little bit later, LFN. Let's just say Duncan was not the only one who was daring... ??? We cant be talking about St Peter, surely? Then again... I thought it was ''Green is the colour''............ Ah, thats more plausible. She once went down on Mike Smiths Chopper..................... I'll bet she rimmed Pip Schofield as well. I remember when I was 13 or so and my older sister speculated that Schofield "slept his way to the top". I naively thought there was a surprising amount of women in top positions at the BBC! If you consider the top to be presenting This Morning!

    Does your father in law have any DVDs of Margaret Thatcher he could lend your daughter by any chance? I hope it doesn't work like that otherwise David Jason and Lynda Baron should be scared.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2013

    The discussions in Margaret Thatcher on the 2012 names page got me thinking of all her triumphs and naturally 'The Miner's Strike' came to mind. Roy Lynk who founded the Union of Democratic Mineworkers (Traitor in chief) does not even have his own wiki page. Is he still alive? A UK obit would be a certainty.

    Celebrity Chefs

    Clarissa Dicson-Wright has suggested that people eat the badgers that are being culled which led to heroic badger defending vege Rock God Brian May to suggest that people should eat her. A new twist on celebrity masterchef - the celebrities are the actual dishes!

    Margaret Thatcher

    At the risk of being labelled a pedant, David Cameron was an outright winner of the 2010 election; he took 58.8% of the vote. The Conservative Party is another thing entirely. Time you are a pedant. But that statistic throws up another question. Over 40% of the inhabitants of Witney don't think David Cameron is the best person to be thier MP. Surely he should be getting over 70% in a part of the country where children are born sporting blue rosettes.

    Margaret Thatcher

    Didn't stop them eventually regaining power tho As part of a coalition. David Cameron was not an outright winner of the 2010 election. Considering how the media were going for Gordon Brown at the time there was still something in the British psyche that whispered "Remember".

    London 2012 Olympics

    Last week I was in Tokyo which is a candidate city for the 2020 games (imo a shoe-in since the other contenders are Madrid (broke) and Istanbul (dangerous)). If the bid is successful I think someone should celebrate by reminding everyone of Japan's contribution to World cinema by making a new film Godzilla vs Wenlock.

    Colditz

    Joanna David a certainty for an obit, I'd say. She's married to Edward Fox and both their children (Emilia and Freddie) are actors too. She was also in the seminal BBC Pride & Prejudice in 1995 as Mrs Gardiner - just for that she will get an obit.

    Margaret Thatcher

    There is also a view that she destroyed the Conservative party as well and rendered it unelectable for years because of her obsession with Europe - read Maggie - Her Fatal Legacy by John Sergeant. So I suppose we do have something to be thankful to her for!

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2013

    A couple of years ago I saw Richard Wilson play Malvolio at the RSC. For someone who is well over 70 he was remarkably sprightly and cavorted around the stage, so unless there is some medical suggestion of an underlying problem I would not take any bets on him for 2013.

    What is your view of her, from an overseas perspective?

    Political Frailty

    What has happened is that he made an apology over the tuition fees and somebody autotuned it into a song. He has given its approval for this video to be sold by iTunes as long as the money goes to charity. (Children's Hospital). What we don't know is how bad a conservative government without the Lib Dems might have been. We did have 18 years of them you know 1997 seems a long time ago and I think a lot of people have forgot how bad it was. However I don't think they forgot enough for David Cameron to win an outright majority and now everything he does reminds the population of the UK how arrogant and out of touch his party are with the concerns of real people.

    Derby Dead Pool 2012

    You are probably going to think it a bit sad that I noticed this but the DOB for Ian Tough (the other Krankie) on the DDP page contains a typo it is 1947 not 1974. I will definitely enter next year.
