I once went beyond the rim. But I was young and experimenting at the time.

Been a while since you've been involved in any rim at all.

And now singer and actress Eartha Kitt has died, aged 81. I know everyone loves Kylie, but Eartha's version of Santa Baby was the definitive - she was wicked. Oh no.

Pinter was great, I really enjoyed studying The Homecoming for A-level.
I think he deserves a 'pause' for respect ;)

I do feel sorry for her. She'll probably be remembered in these parts more as rhyming slang.

May I apologise for this inexcusable mistake? *Hangs head in shame*

Haha - until I read that properly, I thought you meant that you'd prematurely announced a death!

Isn't that known as "Doing a Comedy Dave"?

I think the Noble Prizes would be quite interesting. Ross Noble, Emma Noble, the guy who broke the water speed record then died on the return trip. And his son too.

Ross Noble should win that, every year.

Hang on a tic. Wasn't it Donald Campbell who dies in bluebird? I'm sure there's some guy called Noble who had something to do with speed records though.

I think Richard Noble used to hold the land speed record at some point.

Given how he spent his life, very probably.

Yep... in the 70s. How old are you Zenon? Because my feeling is that you weren't around in the 70s amd therefore haven't got a * clue who this guy was. That said, even if you don't know who he was, I'm sure you miss him very much.

I know who he was, very well indeed, and I can't believe he was 73.

Oh no.

Absolutely and I could understand you posting it.

I don't know who he was, but he was on A Question of Sport, so if he was good on that and it was as good then as it is now (do like that programme) then I may well have liked him.
