    A Joke

    Read that three times now and still don't get it. He who laughs last had the joke explained to him. Indeed. That, or he just didn't find it very funny. Not a "knee slapper". I liked it. I understood it, didn't find it that amusing and to be honest I've never been much of a knee slapper.

    20th Century Americans Sitcoms

    what channel is that? doesn't seem to be on my tv in UK. The actor who played Benson must be getting on in years too. anyone have any idea what state of health he's in? used to watch the show a lot as a kid Robert Guillaume had a stroke 16 years ago, seems to have made a near to full recovery, but always possibility that he could suffer another one.

    Gladys Knight seems the most likely out of that list to go first.

    Room 101

    No I don't think it's you, A guy I used to work joined a dating service, this was just before the internet had taken off. He had never dated before, so he gave me the numbers of the 4 women that the agency had sent him. He wanted me to meet with them to vet them and tell him which one would be best for him to date Two never answered their phones, and out of the remaining two, one had personal hygiene issues, and the other was cute, very shy, but considered kissing in public to be "kinky".

    Room 101

    Grindr. Surely? Nope Tinder. We get everywhere now. Don't get me started on POF. Dating sites are a joke. I had to fix the webserver of an online dating agency. At the time they were called UDate. I believe they were bought out by Match.com As a way of saying thanks for fixing the server, the owners gave me a free login so I could test out the site making nothing broke. There was a lot of rampant totty on there.

    The dead of 2016

    Gary Shandling dead at 66 http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/garry-shandling-dead-larry-sanders-show-show-1201738601/ I thought he was terribly unfunny. But then I might have caught only the bad stuff, like "What planet are you from"...I to hear his voice as the Turtle in "Over the hedge".ye that's the only good thing he did. I wouldn't even bother to rate that performance

    Did you hear about the accident at the army base? A jeep ran over a bag of popcorn and killed two kernels.

    Bhumibol Adulyadej

    Aw FFS, him and Glen Campbell reviving in the same month, it's doing nowt for my sense of well being. This reminds me of the last few months of Suharto, his health was back and forth for a while.

    Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets

    Watching CNN last night, and they had the father of Sebastien Bellin call in to Anderson Cooper. He was totally unaware that his son was injured in the blast until he saw his son's picture on the TV.

    what can i say the people of Belgium must be mourned in a way that requires zero effort so that I can feel like a good person. Did you mourn the people of Turkey when Ankara was attacked? No but he went out and had a kebab in solidarity. Oh now I want a kebab.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    I cannot express how much I loathe Kes. We had to study it at school and we were shown the equally squalid Ken Loach film. It is a grotesque dysfunctional representation of northern British Life which almost verges on poverty porn. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. This is not just because I had to study it at school I also read The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Billy Liar which are good books. However Lark Rise is the dullest book ever. Only reason I liked Kes was because Brian Glover was in the film. It was an ok-ish book. Preferred to read it for fun rather than when I had to at school. Never read Billy Liar, may pick it up at some point. I have a pile of books to read at the moment.

    Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets

    Report this morning on CNN was 21 dead, 11 at the airport, 10 at the metro station. I'd give it until late this evening before trusting figures, they'll be attempting to keep people alive right now. Earlier report had the numbers at 31 dead, and 170 injured. As I walked by the TV in the break room it had changed to 28 dead and 166 injured. So it looks like not only are they attempting to keep people alive, they're bringing people back from the dead.

I'd give it until late this evening before trusting figures, they'll be attempting to keep people alive right now. Oh absolutely. As far as I know, all friends and family accounted for. That was the first thing on my mind.
