Announced today. http://news.sky.com/story/999485/emmanuelle-star-sylvia-kristel-dies-of-cancer Another youthful fantasy bites the dust....

Is this still dragging on after 5 pages? ffs, it was put to bed in the first half dozen posts.

^ I take it you're bored, turks.

Well, thats three minutes of my life that I wont get back.

Proof that the British are smarter than Americans. The greatest minds in America securely encrypt the Pentagons computers. Our spastics crack them.

....and the thread's "first piece of sense" award goes to Chez....

Apparently when you spend £5 on a coffee in Costa you get a free mug. Just stop by the nearest mirror to see it.

Thanks a bunch for reminding me. Hours of negotiation with the mrs and in the end I'm stuck with that horror show. Grown men crying over chiffon cakes?? FFS

I must have been drunk during 1998, had never realised before that Justin Fashanu had topped himself.

...especially for the Arsenal game.

One for Doctor on call: Pythagoras walks into a bar muttering, 'If a right-angled triangle has a short side, X, a long side, Y, and hypotenuse, Z, then the square of Z must be equal to the sum of the square of X and the square of, erm... uh...' The barman says, 'Y, the long face?'

Thats the point though, isnt it, somebody naturally right or left sided will always be more effective using that side. Most players could spend all of their training hours trying to become as adept at using their wrong foot as their natural side, and it isn't going to happen. Unless you happen to be genuinely ambidextrous, like Ronnie O'Sullivan, your natural side will always be stronger. That theory was tested for years when left-handed kids at school were forced to write right-handed.

qed.

There, you've reminded me, of course they were in the swamp of incest that is the cambridge footlights as well. I'd forgotten that. They only wrote a couple of full shows, but they did slots on French & Saunders, among others. Mainly I remember them from R4, any comedy panel game would get one of them. You can just hear the phone call to the agency......" we need four comedians for this weeks Newsquiz...........ok, we'll settle for three comedians and Sue Perkins...."

I think the gist is that we should keep an eye out for managers renting houses in or around Southampton. Cant be certain though, tbh.

They were never off Radio 4. It seemed like all they needed to do was walk into Broadcasting House, announce that they'd dreamed up yet another abysmally unfunny "comedy", and the beeb would just write them a cheque. On that baking programme, well lets face it, practically any z-lister could do the job, but at least they arent posing as comediennes on that one.

....my favourite whisky.

Jimmy Saviles family have removed his headstone, chiselled off the inscription and picture, broken it into rubble and chucked it in a skip. Well, at least its saved me the trouble.

His headstone was removed last night: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/saviles-headstone-removed-family-011016948.html Will be broken up and disposed of, after the having the inscription on it destroyed.

Perhaps all players should be sold with the opposite of a "use by" date? A sort of "will be useful by" date.

Personally, I cant stand him. Putting that aside, wouldn't his previous forays into marital infidelity more or less rule him out as tory leader?

There are also a few who have been registered for ages but never posted much before now. Sleeper agents?

While Kathleen Turner still breathes nobody else would get my vote.

I do get annoyed by the BBC lezzer "comedienne" mafia, Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Rhona Cameron and of course Sandy Toksvig. Who told these people they were funny? and what did they have against the rest of us? Toksvig is tolerable on the Newsquiz but the rest are just dreadful, and presumably only there to tick a few boxes (fnarr fnarr) and fill the quotas (etc).

I've never watched a full episode of this nonsense, but the mrs is addicted to it. I reckon thats grounds for divorce, myself. As for it being rigged, well of course it is. They even use autotuners for the preferred "performers", and leave the rest of the talentless dross to fend for themselves. If you can bear to listen carefully you can hear which ones are autotuned.
