Are they actually 'his' anyway?

They're going to be filthy stinking rich.

Perhaps in the spirit of the timeless tradition that is Rock & Roll, they just don't give a sh1t. Who knows.

Tools, utter tools. That would depend on whether they consider Wacko to be a gentle, misunderstood musical genius, or a dangerous paedophile who could afford a good lawyer and the means to settle out of court.

Glitter is surely now the undisputed King of pop noncery..

Essentially whether you give a sh1t or not comes down to whether his music means anything to you - or not. I can appreciate he was massively talented, but the music really doesn't mean anything to me (beyond some 'classic' singles which are undeniably brilliant). In addition to this, his total freakyness (largely self-made, though let's face it he hardly had a normal start in life) made me feel even more disconnected from him. I like the subject matter of songs to at least have some sort of credibility with regards to the person singing the song and so the idea that Jacko was ever Bad, Dangerous, or a 'Lover' of any normal kind whatsoever, a bit hard to swallow. Though it seems some people seem to equate 'mad as a box of frogs' as being part and parcel of the day-to-day life of being some sort of living musical deity.

Expect conspirary theories, people standing around holding pictures of him up (when did that start over here?) and, of course, Uri Geller.

Well Maurice, as you may know, the second half of the postcode sequence begins with a number, rather than a letter. Therefore I felt a '5' rather than an 'S' would have looked more postcode=like. However, on reflection, I have foolishly omitted a number from the first part of the sequence, hence I shall amend my suggestion to: UR1 5NOB

URA 5N0B

As the old saying goes: "You can take Camberwell Grove out of Camberwell, but the Silver Buckle will still only be thirty seconds walk away."

'silver buckle appears to be shut' Thinking about it, I think I've spotted a typo.

You do love your chips, rgutsell..

Looks like you had a lucky escape.

With the continued fall in the price of electronic consumer goods, mature and unusual plants could be targeted by thieves as a more profitable alternative. I accept they may be harder to offer around down the pub though.

I can't put my finger on it. The chirpy banter is slightly chirpier. The smiles slightly smilier. More twinkling of the eyes. If anyone else can work it out, let me know.

Not saying it's not serious. Just not serious enough to send out heart. Are the family over the road Guardian-reading, organic vegetable-munchers..? Or are they tattooed alcoholics with a penchant for aggression at the slightest provocation? I suppose that's the biggie.

Sounds annoying. Can't send heart out though. Reserve heart going out for more serious stuff. Nip over road and ask for bike back. If resistance is met, shout in street until someone calls the Police.

If it must be me - and by your fair hand, Brendan - can I have it right on the botty, please? I HAVE BEEN VERY NAUGHTY

I'm thinking of getting some t-shirts printed-up. Front - "We all know Asians marry their own kind" Back - "Apologies.. I was hacked" Limited run of 100. Any takers.

"I was hacked".. ha ha Absolute twaddle.

Character-building comes from being allowed suitable responsibility and earning trust, not from being told you can't be trusted to lock a door and key-in a burglar alarm. > How do you know a 14 year old you have not met > won't bring her mates round for a party?

The same way you hope your adult cat-sitter won't be rifling through your drawers and stealing the silver. Your trust yur judgement, get some references. ...How are you at giving a cat a pill by the way?:)) I've never ever taken cat clubbing, so I can't answer this.

It would seem to be "does open 24 hours, but not 24/7"
