Is she not saying 'why don't you take up fishing' or such like yet Nines?Oops ... Sorry, I thought that when I posted it. It was the missus who told me and I believed her. I'm definitely losing the plot
Back to Victoria Wood for a moment, I'm surprised how many newspapers and media outlets are referring to her 'secret cancer battle'. The word you're looking for isn't 'secret', it's 'private'.
She chose to conduct her battle against the illness in private, and should not have anyone thinking that things were being kept from them. That's not the case at all.
Victoria Wood handled her private life very separately from her public persona, with only rare glimpses behind the scenes. In this, she was one of the most 'normal' of celebrities you could ever hope to know. If only more celebrities would understand that we're not interested in (and don't have a right to know) every single detail of their off-stage lives.

Not as yet. She's more than happy to have me as a
There's your mistake. Wrong Michelin. Give her a steak that tastes like the tyre from an old Cortina, and you'll soon be getting your tackle out...
Just heard on the news William Shakespeare is dead, must've been a tragedy...
My mate told me that the last of the old PG Tips chimps has died aged 48...
...although he could've been monkeying around.

This time a QPR fan of over 60 years, my Uncle John Kennedy passed away this afternoon.
He came to London as a 16 year old and lived in North London and supported Arsenal. He soon met his wife to be. She lived in Shepherds Bush and used to go to watch QPR in the Third tier. She brought him to Loftus Road and at first he didn't like it, third division rubbish he used to say to her. She stuck with it and eventually he got hooked and went week in week out for over 40 years until he retired 10 years ago and moved out of London to the North East. This man is the reason I support this club. As a kid, I used to watch the matches on the TV and I was glued to the tele to see if I could spot my uncle Johnny in the crowd. I knew exactly where he stood in the Loft. After I moved to London in the 80's, I stood in the same spot with him week in week out.
He has been to the Crown & Sceptre a few times and he came to Hennessys before the play off final so a few of you guys met him. Sad day. RIP Uncle Johnny.

Sad news Finglas, you did say yesterday that it was only a matter of time. I'd like to offer my condolences and my thoughts are with you and your family.
