btw Tom where were you when Kennedy died? Did in mean anything to your cultural group?
It was quite a big thing for my catholic background - I remember my mother crying when the news was on the radio, which I hadn't seen before.
I have no specific memory of the actual event, but I clearly remember getting a tin trunk in the scrap that was lined with a newspaper bearing a 'Kennedy Assassinated' headline.

I can't make my mind up whether this is brilliant or mental.

Take if from someone who thought it was very unfair that he constantly got told off for not putting his shoes away upstairs "instead of just chucking them like a mess in the corner" whilst his Mam would do the exact same thing... that idea is fecking BRILLIANT!!!

People of a certain age will recognise newsreader Carol Barnes.
Well the other day, purely by accident, I found out that she had died.
I'm a bit fascinated by death, and I'm always curious to find out what happened when someone I "Know" passes away. According to Wiki, in 2008 she had a stroke and didn't recover.
Brief details here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Barnes
While reading the Wiki piece, I noticed that just before she died, she had made a documentary about someone else I knew. It was her one time co presenter Ed Mitchell, who had apparently gone from golden boy to homeless degenerate gambler and alcoholic.
I think I'm even more fascinated by addiction than I am by death, and I have a huge amount of sympathy for addicts of all kinds. I have an addictive nature myself. There but for the grace of God go I.
The documentary was called Saving Ed Mitchell. I Googled it and found it here.

Weird that you thought about her this week. Her ex husband was in the news the other day. Or is that why you thought about her?

I don't know if you followed it through, but Ed Mitchell has written a book about his experiences

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

You're right Vin. I was listening to some other story when I heard that she had died. I can't remember what it was about though.
