Ah yes, the orgy with Denis Norden, Olivia de Havilland, Kirk Douglas, and the festering corpse of Lord Peter Carrington seems to have claimed a victim.

Aye, well... it must be still standing because BBC Scotland have little better to do than to discuss the way lack of public toilets in the most remote areas might harm tourism (seriously, if it's that remote just piss behind a hedge or summat)

Her brother-in-law, actor David Spade (I never put that combination together), says the family is healing following her death.

Sure they were discussed on here but can't find it.

 

Maurice Kaye sees the light in more ways than one, after 84 years of marriage.

You're telling me the "well known Bangor businessman" missed a profile raising opportunity by not milking Christopher Hitchens death!

Didn’t know about her, but even if I did I’m not sure if I would’ve had the guts to pick her as I feel very uncomfortable with picking someone who is less than a year older than me and is still very young...
