    ‘Third umpire has called him back’: Cricket great ‘very much alive’ amid bizarre death rumour

    Link says it’s false !

    Well fuck the internet.

    Appears Olonga was one of the early Twits that X'ed out the news.

    Was on pretty much every news site.

    Really like him: He was pretty much the Zimbot's SRH.

    A real fun bloke to have a yarn with in the nations capital. During my days of frequenting Courtney Place he always greeted me with a hearty smile and more than a few free drinks !

    RIP.

    Don't know diddly about her political career but she was a tour de force as an actor

    I remember she played Roald Dahl's wife Patricia Neale and was good in that, so good I keep confusing her with Patricia Neale!

    Presided over a great era for Fulham FC. Don't know about the statue of Michael Jackson though, a bit random

    Hilarious listening to his obituary on the BBC

    Goes from humble lemonade salesman to owner of Harrod's quickly glossing over the fact that he married the daughter of a billionaire arms dealer

    Sister sorry

    "Mr Al Fayed rose from selling fizzy drinks on the streets of his native Alexandria in Egypt to become a big name in business with all the right contacts.

    His break came after he met his first wife, Samira Khashoggi, the sister of Saudi millionaire arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi - who employed him in his Saudi Arabian import business."

    Disturbingly, in 2014, when there were 7 Margaritaville restaurants, despite me being a Kiwi who had barely left NZ, somehow I'd been to 3 (Vegas, Waikiki, Niagara Falls) of the 7 Margaritaville restaurants at the time.

    Never really cared for Jimmy Buffett, but A Pirate Looks at 40 is a rather good song.
