Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted July 20, 2013 Solely famous in England for this reaction image maymay: And with that, the first name drops off my big list of potential 2014 names. She can go to hell now and sit around with her hero Yasser Arafat, spitting and hissing about Jews to her heart's content... or whatever she had where most people have a heart.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted July 20, 2013 Oh, btw, note to MIB - as the show-runner of DDP, I dunno if you've seen this, but there's actually some confusion about what year Whicker was born in now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Whicker According to the FT's research he was actually 91 so I guess that might affect points depending on how you call it.

Guest Guest Posted July 20, 2013 Solely famous in England for this reaction image maymay: Very sad to hear of Helens passing.It's funny because when Pres Obama gave his surprise news conference yesterday the first 2 rows were empty.Its almost as if the ghost of Helen Thomas was occupying them. PS that didnt come out right.I didn't mean she was so fat she took up 2 rows.You know what I mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I was reading about him and that timescale bothered/puzzled me even before I found out about the FT thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted July 20, 2013 Ah well, that's the way it is. Sometimes you have hits that are younger than what is supposed, such as T-Model Ford, so swings and roundabouts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
