    Saw an article in an old copy of the Daily Mirror which was based on comments from friend Vince Hill and he was commenting on how devastating the whole thing was for Rolf's wife Alwen who is 83. He described her as frail and mentioned arthritis. At the moment her death would certainly get coverage.

    Just watching news on TV in Cologne airport and is it me or does Angela Merkel seem to now have adopted a confused old lady expression reminiscent of an auntie who is trying to find her cat but you don't have the heart to tell her it died three years ago.

    Perkins is younger than me. That's shit.

     

    Whay hay that probably means I am too. :D

     

    Technically she is younger than me but the gap is so narrow I would claim we were the same age!

     

    I couldn't believe Aimi McDonald was over 70.

    In a recent copy of Metro that I picked up I noticed that there is an advert inviting people to apply to be in the studio audience for ITV's unholy resurrection of Surprise, Surprise with Holly Willoughby.

     

    There is a lot of TV that I don't like but my reaction to that is not to watch it but SS I really hate. It is so emotionally manipulative and cringe worthy that I feel angry that everyone else seems to think it is so lovely.

     

    I still think a Deathlist show would be less tasteless.

     

    The only consolation is that I almost dislike HW as much as I dislike SS.

    I would think that the kind of shite that is on TV at the moment has more to do with creating a vehicle for the "star" than entertaining the public.

    Holly is, without question, utterly talentless and were she flat chested and married to a Dustman, would be working in Tescos.

    Having said that, attending that show would give you the opportunity to assess whether here breasts were REALLY that big and finally nail the myth that she is good looking.

    I think, in real life, her looks are more gargoyle than Marilyn Monroe, or summat.

    Anyway, spare the dislike for the saps that want their 5 mins of fame by getting their faces onto such fecal matter.

    If there were less wannabes there would be less crap like SS on the TV.

    Right?

     

    I'd fuck her.

     

    That would give her a Surprise Surprise!

    Watching Pointless. Does anyone else think John Noakes looks like he's not looking after himself very well.

    I was going to post this,sad to say but IMO the bloke is going senile,at least Peter Purves had his marbles on that show

     

    With all these 1970s male tv celebs coming under fire from Operation Yewtree, I surprised Peter hasn't been under suspicion yet... especially with a relevant surname like his.

     

    No Peter will it seems shag anything in a skirt (I got that from his own autobiography) but I do not think there is any suscpicion that he did anything illegal.

     

    Including Valerie Singleton, although he did have to kick Joan Armatrading out of her bed first, so I'm told...

     

    He also notched up Jean Marsh from their days on Doctor Who.

     

    Really? I wonder if he finished upstairs or downstairs...

     

    He certainly Rose to the occasion.

    Well Tokyo has been awarded the 2020 games so obviously amongst the considerations of the IOC is not which city is most likely to be attacked by Godzilla.

     

    I'd think Japan, and so Tokyo, has a radiant future. It seems that future has also escaped the IOC's attention.

     

    regards,

    Hein

     

    by radiant you mean nuclear radiant ? I think they wanted to give it to turkey but with the riots ,civil war next door in syria and the fact Istanbul's infrastructure is no where near a high enough standard was the reason Tokyo got it.

     

    I have a feeling that these are the next host cities:

     

    paris 2024

    usa 2028

    Argentina 2032

    turkey 2036.

     

    It is odd that the IOC took 11 months to come to the same conclusion as me last year.

     

    I think the next four might be

     

    Germany 2024 (Berlin?)

    USA 2028 (New York)

    Africa 2032 (Not sure where but I think they would want to go there)

    Scotland 2036 (With life president Alex Salmond parachuting in to the opening ceremony)

    I am going to declare Nicolas safe for this year but to celebrate and provoke discussion I have attached a list of those currently living Just a Minute guests who have notched up more than 20 appearances (? - on the radio).

    All the originals are dead and Linda Smith and Wendy Richard were also on the list but are no longer with us.

     

    I think Andre Melly is an interesting potential future pick as she is also George Melly's sister. Presence on this list alone almost guarantees a UK Obit for any of these.

    Post moved from topic "Dying Bigots"

    Holocaust denier David Irving (b 1938) has apparently been carrying out a promotional book tour in the UK but the events are not publicly advertised and you have to provide details so he can vet potential attendees.

     

    Sounds to me like someone who may be likely to be murdered (or thinks he will be)

    Not sure this is the right place to post this but I am going to propose Tatoos.

     

    Before those of you adorned with body art protest I am not damning all tatoos but particularly those where an "inspirational" phrase is tatooed on the body in a prominent position. These may read great to the individual getting the tat but they should think how else this could be construed.

     

    I saw a young lady on the tube who had the phrase For every man his hour on her upper arm. Fortunately I was too polite to ask whether there was a booking form that needed to be completed or whether the hour could be taken whenever it was convenient. At least it wasn't on her thigh.

     

    I do hope said young lady is not a Deathlister as she will be very upset about her really cool tatoo.

    Kate Bush has a few songs for the morbidly inclined This Woman's Work is awesome and Moments of Pleasure was written for people she knew who had died and the entire Ninth Wave section of The Hounds of Love album is about a woman drowning.

     

    However if you want a song that is mawkish and slightly tasteless is Hello, This is Joanni (The Telephone Answering Machine Song) by Paul Evans

    The panda was selected as the symbol for the WWF following a vote amongst school children probably sometime around 1976 there were four animals proposed but the panda was a runaway winner.

     

    I am hoping this is not something I imagined I remember!

    Are we absolutely sure she is pregnant or is she just trying to spin the press out with constant speculation about her reproductive system (A sort of balck and white furry Jordan)?

     

    Don't know if she's pregnant, not do I care much.

     

    Giant panda's are silly animals anyway: vegetarian bears in the colour scheme of penguins.[1] Can't they make up their minds?

     

    [1]Ok, Giant pandas have one interesting feature: their thumb.

     

    regards,

    Hein

    You remind me of a bloke at work who despises Pandas because he heard somewhere they were an evolutionary deadend. He argues that people throw money into conserving them because they look cute, whereas there are other, less attractive animals more in need of funds.

     

    Heard that opinion expressed as Panda just sit there and are rubbish at breeding but the same could be said of most Modern Warfare players

    I am considering entering next year but I want to know if my choices are good or not.

     

    Kirk Douglas

    Nelson Mandela

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    Ozzy Osbourne

    Courtney Love

     

    Yes/No? on each

     

    Hopefully only two will make the starting tape.

     

    If you think they are good they are good. Why should my opinion be worth more than yours. I am not their Doctor!
