That, tictax, is the joy & delight of being a Wills and Probate lawyer. You can charge your client a nice juicy fee for preparing their Will, in the certain knowledge that they can never complain or sue you if your work later (after their demise) turns out to be defective.

Yes will, 33 is far too young an age at which to die. However, I think I’ll save my ‘grief’ for all those youngsters who die through no direct fault of their own – i.e. from some form of terminal illness or mown down by a drunken driver etc etc.

Sad though it may be, this guy seems to have brought about his own demise in that (allegedly) he…[Read more]

I read The Sun this evening (as I waited for my Chinese takeaway) and saw that, in their usual caring and sensitive way, they had a huge two page spread on the unfortunate death of this young man.

According to The Sun, he had just spent 8 hours downing industrial quantities of booze in a gay night club (“a drink fuelled orgy”) before going home…[Read more]

I have always been a fan of ‘screaming’ Lord Sutch and given the opportunity would have voted for him every time.

I once even considered standing as a candidate for the Monster Raving loony party – but didn’t fancy losing my deposit.

Your comment about “moving on” is exactly right pol and Sharon S should really do so.

She is in her mid 50’s and is therefore at the far end of her (no doubt) long and successful career. She was,…[Read more]

On that basis we should have the Monster Raving Loony party as our next government.

Exhume ‘screaming Lord Sutch’ I say and let him run the country.

I see your point Minim … but to take your point a wee bit further.

The Councillor responsible for ‘children & young people’…[Read more]

To an extent I agree with you pol … and there again I don’t.

To the extent that Sharon Shoesmith was responsible overall for the entire children’s services department, as its…[Read more]

I have to accept that her infamous appearance on the TV, when the whole issue came to public light, was in retrospect a serious blunder – but one that should have had these consequences??? …… i think not.

You have to remember that her appearance on TV etc was ‘authorised’ and it is said encouraged by the leaders of Haringey council. Indeed,…[Read more]

Not so black and white now eh :wink:

Cas makes an extremely good point here – no the story wasn’t as ‘black & white’ as it first appeared….. indeed quite the opposite.

True. How about the song titled “You’re Sixteen” by Johnny Burnette? the main lyric is “You’re sisteen, you’re beautiful and you’re mine”

Today this sounds somewhat like a paedophile anthemn eh?

Try these ones then (with a couple more added in just to make it easier):

1. I spent some time in H M Prison Wormwood Scrubs.

2. I also went to a fee paying all girls’s school.

3. I held the speed record for the fastest time round the skid pan at Goodwood racetrack.

4. I jumped out of an aeroplane at 11,000 feet.

5. I draw my state pension…[Read more]

Maybe the way forward here is a typically British compromise. How about mixing up cybersex, watching the TV with a beer (or whatever drink) in hand and droning on about football.

What if pubs were to have a bit of a ‘makeover’???

Bars to be fitted out with internet connected computers lined up in front of the beer pumps. All customers could sign…[Read more]

Yes, but why now? He’s been in Switzerland and numerous other countries that can extradite for the last 30 years.

Good point. I think that it is because he has been living (i.e. domiciled) in France most of the time and of course he is a French (and Polish) national.

Apparently a number of attempts have been made to extradite…[Read more]

Undertakers announced today that following the recent death of Keith Floyd, they wouldn’t be embalming his body before burial …. as it was already pickled in alcohol.
