I always thought that was some sort of mop hat, not a wig.........sad to hear of the death though as that was a brilliant advert and I think it was Irene Handl who voiced her.

"Coooee, cooeee Mr Shifter, light refreshments....." :D

Looks like ISIS are winning over American voters, Mississippi and North Carolina have pass laws so you can now refuse service to the LGBT community. Granted, Mississippi does look like a place that fears fashion and good grooming, but this is surely a step too far; embarrassing for America ?

I didn't realise Michael Gove's influence extended that far.

The Daily Mail's horoscope writer Jonathan Cainer has died aged 58.

How come he didn't see that coming.

The Mail said Cainer was "quite simply, Britain's greatest astrologer"

Bollocks.

Am I anti semitic for posting this....?

The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations (UN) says the Tel Aviv regime is harvesting the organs of Palestinians killed in clashes with Israeli forces in the occupied territories.

Riyad Mansour said in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday that the bodies of the Palestinians killed by Israeli forces are "returned with missing corneas and other organs, further confirming past reports about organ harvesting by the occupying power."

"A medical examination conducted on bodies of Palestinians returned after they were killed by the occupying power found that they were missing organs," Mansour wrote in the letter.

The Palestinian envoy further protested Israel's "persistent aggression against the Palestinian people" over the past month and the regime's "insistence on use of violent force and oppressive measures."

The issue of organ theft by Israel was first brought to the fore in a report published by Sweden's most highly-circulated daily Aftonbladet in 2009.

US daily The New York Times also said in an August 2014 report that transplant brokers in Israel have pocketed enormous sums of money. Based on the Times analysis of major organ trafficking cases since 2000, Israelis have played a 'disproportionate role' in organ trafficking.

The Palestinians whom Mansour was referring to were killed amid tensions in the occupied territories, which have dramatically escalated in recent weeks.

No, but you're probably either naive or ignorant for passing on the Iranian government's anti-Israel propaganda as news. And let's face it, this blood libel crap is so old and tired...

For what it's worth, the 2014 New York Times article mentioned is about Israelis flying overseas for organ transplants because there is a shortage of donors at home because of religious reasons. They are buying organs from cash-hungry donors outside of the Middle East, not murdering Palestinians and stealing their organs.

Apparently though the story is that he DID predict it. Not that I ever understood his predictions.

I know I'm a bit behind on the thread but...

It's nice to see they still teach arithmetic in schools!
