You'd better tell YoungWillz. I think that leaves Michele Lee as the last remaining member from the main cast of The Love Bug W,W,W,WHAAATTTT!!!? Are you saying Herbie is - like - dead? Not according to IMDB

Does that mean he's the 3rd best "worst dictator"? Given that he's been in the job and 'winning' elections for nigh on 30 years, it could be argued that he's the third worst 'best dictator'.

Was wondering this earlier when I tried to make a list of survivors from the Golden Age of Hollywood.I reckon Kirk will go first. Of course Kirk will go first; women always live longer than men.

Edward John Barrington Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 3rd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, to give him his full moniker. Article up. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34106225 A DDP team gets the motor running, head out on the highway.... A complete aside: Cajun French pronounces that surname BOWL-yay.... Or some mouthful-of-crawfish thing along those lines.Any Parisian French speakers can tell me how that should really be pronounced? Appreciated in advance. SC In France one would pronounce Beaulieu BOW (as in bow and arrow) L'YUH. That's a reasonable approximation. There are a number of places in France named Beaulieu. The English one is pronounced Bew-lee, for no logical reason that I have ever been able to fathom. We normally pronounce Beau as BOW, and lieu as L'YOO or LOO. Except when it is part of Lieutenant when we pronounce it LEF (bangs head against desk). And this is a belvoir. A colony of 'em lives in a castle just down the road from me.

I don't know anyone who pronounces Diana like that. Me neither. Hereabouts that name is pronounced 'deeaanaa' ('aa' representing the vowel in 'aargh') with stress on the second syllable. Her shine has waned a bit here. Except maybe Paul Anka

Yep, I'm afraid the novelty of this gag has officially worn off now How long has this been going on, Fred?

How many fold has your (and your friends and family) email spam folder increased by and have those benevolent Nigerians been in touch regarding your inheritance? -
I've lost count of the number of fags I've had over the years since I was 14 but I waited until It was legal before I started to smoke at the age of 16; unlike the former, the latter was a big mistake.

So, he botched his own attempt at transgender surgery on the missus and tried to escape before the results did for his career, right? Nah me duck, he was a quack homeopathist.

Dr Hawley Crippen was convicted and hanged for the murder of his wife, Cora. The remains of the body referred to in court were subsequently found by DNA testing to be those of a man.

I think she is famous enough to have her own thread. Her only famous role is for a teen sitcom that ended close to 30 years ago. If she has her own thread why not everyone who has starred in a CW show. Maybe someone can start a thread for Xander and Willow from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Why hasn't Ronnie Corbett got his own thread?

The English Language
Cat O'Falk replied to Larry Pestilence III's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Historically, it was "Mrs Jones' situation" but "Mrs Jones's situation" is more favoured these days. Language evolves, not always for the better. Teaching in the U.K. is abysmal; that's why we are so far down the world ratings. My nephew was never corrected in class in the use of a double negative and it was left to myself to teach him. The first time he corrected his English teacher when she used a double negative he received a detention for being 'disrespectful'. I didn't do nothing means you did something and he didn't do anything wrong.
