    Things like this always bewilder me. If you want to take yourself out, fine, do it; but why take 140 people with you?

    My thoughts exactly on hearing the news. If anything good is to come out of it at least changes will be ushered in to ensure no one person is left in charge of a plane like this again. Thoughts are with those on board and their bereaved families and friends. Also, I keep thinking of the sheer terror the pilot must have felt hammering at that cockpit door in vain and that of the passengers when they found out what was going on. :#

    A bit out of her depth with the whole Beatles thing, but so were many others eg Brian Epstein, and the Beatles themselves when it came to the whole money thing.

    She kept her dignity for the most part.

    Really poignant seeing all these photos of Julian Lennon with his mum as well - can't get over the likeness to his father and strange to think that he's now older than his father ever got to be...

    Saddened to read this afternoon about the death of James Best, who would
    Be best known for playing sheriff Rosco P Coltrane in The dukes of Hazard
    TV show. RIP James Best.

    Really saddened to hear this. Sir Robert was an unsung hero of the Bond films-I can't imagine Largo without that wonderful voice! I was able to meet Sir Robert about 2 years ago and thank him for his contribution, so really glad I got the opportunity. Just last night I was watching Ten Little Indians where he dubbed 4 of the actors! RIP Sir Robert.

    RIP Keith Harris.
    It's sad but when you hear the name of an old 70s or 80s kids TV star on the
    Radio these days, you immediately think they must be being questioned about
    An abuse case. :#

    Just read on the news rio Ferdinand's wife has died after a short battle with breast cancer.

    I'm not a football fan by any chance of the imagination, but there again I don't think anyone needs to be to appreciate how tragic a loss any death is, but especially when she was just 34 and leaves behind 3 young kids.

    A very sad situation, my heart goes out to them all.

    Congratulations to Ireland for voting in Same Sex Marriage for its citizens. -{
    anything that expands equality for people can only be a good thing. :)

    There is the old joke that as I've been married for 22 years, I've been having
    The same sex for ages. :))
