I paid 73p for my first gallon of petrol for my fizzped back in 1975; that's 16p per litre. A gallon took me a hundred miles. Happy days.

John McCafferty the longest surviving heart transplant patient dies aged 73 from blood poisoning and kidney failure - 33 years after the operation. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3442071/Longest-surviving-heart-transplant-patient-dies-aged-73-blood-poisoning-kidney-failure-33-years-operation.html

William IX, Duke of Aquitaine has not been mentioned in this thread before this week. I think the one year difference is regarding one source lists him as dying in 1126 and another as in 1127. Hence, Sir Creep mentioned 890 years ago and Rocky thought it was 889. The two death dates in full are: 10th February 1126 11th February 1127

Whenever you see someone doing a crossword puzzle, say to them, '7 up is lemonade'.

Yeah, SIR CREEP is the 'disturbed' one. well creep is in your name. Kid, are ya on your lappy, under your duvet with a torch in your mouth?? It'll be an ipad. Know! he as gut a fone that corects is automatic the type and stuf.

Purportedly this guy: Is the father of these kids:

So did Laurel and Hardy and Morecambe and Wise. Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore had twin beds though.

I'm not sure if this is apocryphal but it is reported that Billy Cotton on a BBC radio show in the 50s had a request to play one of her songs. He meant to say “this goes out to you and all the other Sophie Tucker fans” but Reverend Spooner put in an appearance and he said “this goes out to you and all the other soapy fucker tans”. The Reverend Spooner died in 1930, so it couldn't have been on a radio show in the 50s. Edited to say: ok just reread it now, thought at first Spooner appeared on Cotton's show. My apologies sir, it was of course a metaphorical appearance. No need to apologise. I misread it. I've only found a couple of vagues references to it only. I think Stephen Fry may have made a reference to it at some point too. I remember hearing about it on a TV chat show years ago. The person regaling mentioned the Director General was in his car listening in on his new-fangled car radio and heard it. He telephoned the BBC to give Cotton a rollicking and the latter asked "do you think anyone noticed?". The DG replied "20 million listeners and you think no one noticed".

By the way, the other day I came across (pun intended) a more pendulous pair of plums than yours. I have the pictures.

The answer is one of these: a) Predictor is drunk as hell b.) Predictor didn't want Lester Piggott's feelings to be hurt, in case he randomly visits the deathlist website and sees (and understands) the rant c) Predictor accidentally forgot to translate to English before posting the text, and by the time RadGuy did his Polish reply, it was too late to change I suspect its a) which would have led to c ) I concur.

Who the hell cares about Lester Piggott? Had never heard of him before. Thought that DeathList was for famous people, not urtråkiga old men riding on horese. Yawn...if he had been any other nationality other than British,he would have not been selected by the so called committee. People here sag Javier de cuellar is the boring one.Learn your history Kid. I only translated what he wrote into English. I think you'll find many other people did too.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEAN? IT'S UTTER GOBBLEDEGOOK! Again, don't try and tell me you typed the word because and it was 'corrected' to becuase. If you proof-read your post and correct it before you hit the add reply button, people wouldn't criticize you. No one else seems to have problems posting from their phones; your English language skills are appallingly bad for a 15 year old. My friend's nine year old daughter is way ahead of you.

So you're about to land at Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport and you look out the window ...

actually I have great grammer in real life but not here because of my keyboard. Has your keyboard ever corrected before to beg, I guess not. You tapped into your keyboard the word grammar and it 'corrected' it to grammer? Bullshit!

Brilliant. I'll have a dozen scream queens delivered by a leather-clad biker-boy.

Kid, you are 15 and I'm guessing you are shortly to sit the Irish equivalent of the GCSE examinations. Your lack of punctuation, grammar, spelling and syntax almost assuredly means you will fail. I have no doubt you will blame your pen for this, just the same as you blame your keyboard when posting on this site. Do yourself a favour; knuckle down and do some serious hard schoolwork instead of fucking up your future. Regards, Cat.

Never knew that. My maternal grandfather's name was Percy Smith, do you think ... hang on McCoy's not 136 is he?
