That's a good idea. * * A doctor writes: Do not take 30 paracetamol as it may result in rigor mortis.

Thank you, you're very kind.

Because people choose to believe what they want to believe and we all want to believe that death isn't the end. TV psychics use a technique called "Cold Reading", you've seen it - "a lady towards the back of the room, I'm getting a message for Jane...or maybe June... or Janet.'' A good example of a fake in recent times is Colin Fry of 6th Sense fame, who inexplicably failed to predict his own death. Try Googling "Colin Fry trumpet".

I know someone who has bought tickets and he's not best pleased. Most probably you can't get a refund just because the lineup has changed. Personally I'm not a fan.

They were three Muslim families. Are they the only Muslims living in The Vatican? It must be a weird experience for them if they are.

You have to admire his brass neck, I mean he has built an entire career out of a simple conjuring trick - bending a spoon. That's pretty much all he has ever actually done other than talk bullshit. He should watch the likes of Dynamo and weep tears of shame, but unfortunately he has no shame.

I believe there is one well known married couple who still favour olive oil.

Yes, it's a celebrity chef fad. OK health wise in it's present form it is high in monosaturated fatty acids, but it's also horrible in my opinion. A bit of history, rapeseed oil was used mainly as a lubricant for white metal bearings used on railway wagon axles. It contained around 50% glyceryl esters of erucic acid. Erucic acid is toxic to the heart and consuming it in any quantity is a very bad idea. The stuff the chefs have orgasms over now is selectively bred low erucic rapeseed oil. The notion that it's the new olive oil is bollox and people who pay silly prices for it are idiots.

Re the Channel Four poll, despite being billed as the most comprehensive in years it isn't a survey of random Muslims because they only polled in areas where at least 20% of the population is Muslim and there aren't many of those. It may well be that people who choose to live in areas of high Muslim population do so because they are less interested in integrating with society in general and may well be more conservative than the wider Muslim population. Quote: The Independent However, as Shiraz Maher, lecturer in war studies at King's College London, pointed out, there are problems with the sample: it consists only of Muslims living in areas where they make up at least 20 per cent of the population, who are likely to be less integrated with their non-Muslim neighbours.

In my opinion homophobia is just as wrong as racism, which I expect wont go down too well here. Unfortunately you blow your case by using the word poof. There's nothing wrong with you finding African women unattractive, but that wasn't what MikeD implied was it? He said Apparently it's to stop girls developing and becoming attractive to men. I'd have thought that being African would have done the job on it's own. Not that he personally found African women unattractive, but being an African woman would make you unattractive "on its own". Pretending that this crap is not racist is ridiculous and you know it is.

For the record it's not that I suddenly agree with everything Bill says, trust me I don't and in any case I'm not interested in your petty schoolboy squabbles, but he was right on this. It is a good nomination, breast ironing, like female genital mutilation, is definitely a cunt. The argument has been devalued though by crude language all too familiar from racists. Firstly being African would be enough to stop girls being attractive. Then " Fucking medieval, backward bastards", "Aids infested, money grabbing, Neanderthal cunts" that's pure racist thinking - implication they're all the same and inferior to us. I think we've found out in recent days that if you want examples of money grabbing you can find that much nearer home.

You're not going to like me for it, but I have to tell you that goulash is Hungarian, not Romanian or Bulgarian.

And Come Together.

You'll catch up Mike.

Phil Collins has described Ringo as vastly underrated. As he said, if you listen to A Day in The Life most drummers wouldn't have a clue how to play some of the fills he does on that.

You couldn't give the shite sold by most pizza chains in the UK away in Italy. Pizza is simple, a good thin base, decent olive oil, tomato, fresh basil and mozzarella cooked in an extremely hot oven a bit like a horizontal tandoor for just a few minutes. Toppings are just that, a bit extra on top like olives, anchovies etc not bollox like ham and pineapple. The chains sell thick pastry with tinned tomato, no olive oil and mousetrap grade imitation grated cheddar, baked for ages in a tin.

He was perfect for the Beatles though, good timekeeping, economical and distinctive. I've seen loads of cover bands doing their stuff and all too often it's a mess because the drummer thinks of himself as a bit of a jazz player, much better than Ringo and is flailing around behind the kit like a dervish on speed.

You haven't provided a link to the news article, but in my opinion it's bollox. There's no way the body can"interpret it as sugar". In any case the expression "diabetic coma" is ambiguous. In theory very high blood sugar levels could lead to unconsciousness, but the vast majority of diabetics becoming unconscious are those on medication or especially insulin who have developed very low blood glucose, a condition called hypoglycaemia.

Good point.

Looking at the picture on the She Taught Me To Yodel video he should have sacked his tailor. The jacket is about three inches longer on one side than the other and the ridiculous shiny trousers are several sizes too large and look like they came from the women's XXL section of Primark.

"Fifth Beatle" is a bit of nonsense really, but if you look at the candidates. George Martin - the only person who was their match creatively, it wouldn't have happened without him. Brian Epstein - clearly important to their success, but managers of bands are not band members. Probably a nice bloke, but took a hefty cut of the royalties. Stuart Sutcliffe - Lennon's best mate, the original bass player and a talented artist. Unfortunately he couldn't play bass for toffee. Pete Best - the original drummer. Not much good and one of the reasons why they failed their first EMI audition. Bitter about being replaced on the brink of success. Billy Preston - Strictly speaking the most entitled to call himself the fifth Beatle as he was the only other musician credited on a Beatles record (Get Back). Also played on their last live performance on the roof at Apple.

Given the reputation of their broadband reliability and the shambolic OpenReach subsidiary I'd rather not. If I'm going to be disintegrated for transportation purposes I would rather like to be reassembled in the correct order.

I think that's the case, there was no direct continuation from either the old posting board or the old forum and everyone had to sign up anew, which is why I'm shown as having joined in March 2014 despite having been here much longer. Regarding nominations I suspect it doesn't help, especially for newer members, if every other nom is greeted with a load of abuse along the lines of "what a shit nom why don't you kill yourself".

Still better than choking on someone else's vomit though.
