DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 26, 2011 Talking of Glastonbury toilets... On the Tuesday before the festival kicked off in 1994 (back when Glastonbury was good), I opened the door of a pristine toilet, only to find a couple engrossed in a lesbian sex session. Being an easy going sort of person, I just mumbled my apologies, shut the door and left them to it. A few seconds later one of the ladies (who I perceived to be under the influence of even more drugs than I had taken) burst out of the lavatory, stark naked, called me a "f*cking pervert" and chased me across a field brandishing a dildo. I just thought I'd share that anecdote with you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No you're not just being ridiculously paranoid, you're being ridiculously sensationalist too. Do you have any evidence, other than what Michael Eavis has said, that this is suicide?

msc 18,435 Posted June 26, 2011 You know, in an episode of Callan I just happened to be watching last night, Callan is berated by a coroner for claiming another man had committed suicide without the full facts to make such a claim. I can't help but feel this is a worthwhile moral to take in such cases. Sudden heart attacks do happen to 50 year olds in stressful jobs after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 29, 2011 Sir Michael Somare, 75, the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, is taking an indefinite period of medical leave after undergong surgery of an unspecified nature. Sir Michael Somare, who has been intensive care in for eight weeks, has resigned as Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister. Quite how much the man himself knows about this news is unclear. Arthur Somare explained that the decision had been made by the family "without full and proper consultation with Sir Michael," who remains too ill. Sounds a bit ominous...

Estuarian Float 97 Posted June 30, 2011 Wife of Ex-Illinois Governor George Ryan, Lura Lynn Ryan dies at 76. I thought there was a first ladies thread but I couldnt find it. I think quite a few DDP teams picked her, and I saw this one coming, but left her off because I thought no way she'll get the obit. God I hope she doesnt, if she does, that'll be another Genaro Hernandez for me. And I dont like to regret... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
