    If you were the owner of a Jim'll Fix It badge, at this moment in time would you:

     

    a) Sell it

    B) Hide it and hopes no-one finds out about it

    c) Wear it

    d) Have yourself photographed wearing it and then tell the papers what a creepy man he was?

    OK this surprised me but, for a short time at least, I would like to put Theresa May in the fluffy corner for finally doing something morally courageous that coincides with sense of what is right by putting an end to the madness of visited upon Gary McKinnon, At last a Politian with balls! or maybe not. . . . .

     

     

    Best regards

    Yes I agree that it would be unfair to allow Garry McKinnon to be extradited but a cynical part of me suggests she waited until she had got rid of the terrorist suspects before she made this decision.

     

    Surely the law is to give equal protection to all citizens. Politicians should not decide who to and who not to extradite.

    I am feeling bad about all the comments on this site about Sandi Toksvig. So i am going to say nice things about her.

     

    She is very very funny and although she can come across as smug, this is in the same sense as Stephen Fry who slightly sends up their own pomposity.

     

    If any one is in doubt of her comic talents they should watch The Big One (C4 romantic sit com with Mike McShane) which she co-wrote and starred in. The perfect demonstration that not just beautiful people can fall in love. It is criminal that this has never been released on DVD. I can't even find it on Youtube.

     

    So a big hearty cheer for everyone's favourite Danish Comedienne.

     

    She comes across as a lesbian am I the only one that gets that vibe . Not that there is anything wrong with lesbians :D . Just wondering when she said she was groped was it by a girl ?

     

    She is a lesbian and an acknowledged one but it is not her big thing.

    Still not dead

     

    When I first saw this picture I wondered why Chris Patten was holding her up?

     

    I had no idea that Mark Thatcher had been knighted.

     

    He has this title as the 2nd Baronet because his parents were given hereditary peerages. He has been Sir Mark since Dennis died.

    Anonymous bloggers on a Chinese website have threatened Roger Federer ahead of next weeks Shanghai Masters Tournament which now will have security amped up.

     

    Assassinating Roger Federer doesn't seem to be a very good threat. He always comes across quite well and difficult to dislike in contrast to some other tennis players I will not mention.

     

    But they are hoping it is only an oral threat!

     

    Plus he's Swiss, they generally don't do much to merit being assassinated

     

    He's a tennis player, and a pretty high-profile one; if you're going to exterminate tennis, its as good a place to start as any.

     

    I think there are other sports I would rather exterminate than tennis. American Football - just don't get it!

    The Hollywood actor Turhan Bey has died aged 90.He was big in the 1940s apparentely, but sadly not big enough for an english obit yet http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Turhan_Bey

     

    Another for the Babylon5 cast deaths......... maybe they should have a thread of their own?

     

    I might try and do this when I get time unless of course they all die first

     

    You predicting a plane crash or summat?

     

    No just that a lots of them seem to die relatively young, Stephen Briggs, Michael O' Hare, Jeff Conaway & Andreas Katsulas which if you compared them to the cast of Star Trek most of those lasted until they were quite old. Also, as my wife will surely testify, there can be long gap of time between me saying I will do something and it actually getting done!

     

    I would not wish anything bad to happen to the lovely Claudia Christiansen

    Richard Wilson, so start bringing out yer " 6 foot in the Grave' jokes, dusting em off and hold a Dachshund to yer ear for slight amusement.

    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.

     

    He's showing no signs of slowing down, I'd wager he'll be around for a while yet

     

    However I think his character of Gaius in Merlin will be dead before the end of November - This is a guess not a spoiler!
