The Groob

Is 50 enough to guarantee death? I've been told that as little as five can kill but some can take a hundred without it being fatal. Death by paracetamol overdose is far from quick and painless from what I gather.

Dunno, sorry.

We missed Christopher Lloyd (the gardener, not the actor) who was a regular on Gardener's World on BBC2 when Titch was presenting.

dammit, Glitter isn't looking as likely.



So, there is a worry that Iraq will be america's new Vietnam ...

Lets hope thats where Gary Glitter will move next !



and is it a coincidence that the verdict comes out today and BBC is showing 'the kings of glam' ?

All right, lets have a go...

1. Ariel Sharon (obvious)
2. Fidél Castro (amazed no one's mentioned him!)
3. Michael Jackson
4. Keith Richard (though he's very well embalmed already)
5. Prince Philip
6. Dick Chaney (US Vice-President... well, one can hopesmiley - winkeye)
7. John Paul Stevens (US Supreme Court Justice)
8. Matt Groening (creator of 'The Simpsons')
9. Kate Moss
10. Margaret Thatcher

#2 and #7 will have HUGE world-wide, long-term ramifications, whenever they happen.

Nancy Reagan can't die. As far as anyone knows, she's been walking around, lifelike, the Stepford First Lady, for over 20 years.

I think Zsa Zsa Gabor is similarly a waxwork. She has no *business* still being alive. She was ancient in the 1960s.
