JJJ is _the_ funniest thing on the Internet as far as I'm concerned but I've lost count of number of people who just give me stony look when I play it for them.

RIP Jimmy.

They are fools. It is the funniest thing on the internet and bears watching endless times.

Rip Joe Fraizer.

Well worth a read, Hugh McIlvanney's report on the aftermath of the first Ali Frazier fight from 1971:

Gary Speed - tragedy

[rich d]

Shocking news about Gary Speed, he was part of the best midfield I ever saw at Elland Road and responsible for my favourite memories of football. MOT

[danm]

Yeah, really sad news that. THE model pro and shaping up to be a decent manager, gutted.

A legend, in the best team I ever saw, in the first world cup I ever saw.

I took Bobby and two of the lasses from Boney M waterskiing once. Nice bloke, even when it was wet the 'fro was spectacular.

WHAT? Tell us the full story then!

[SA Chris]

In school holidays I used to work at Sun City (the place maligned by many anti-apartheid activists in the 80s) doing various jobs down on the lake, including jet-ski and windsurfer hire, and observing / assisting on the boat when folk were out waterskiing. http://www.sun-city-south-africa.com/activities/water/sun_citys_waterworld . Boney M were doing some concerts there just before Xmas (invariably) one year and they came down one afternoon to do some waterskiing. He was pretty average, as was one of the lasses, but the other one was shithot one a Slalom ski.

[Johnny Brown]

Amazing. I had a beer with Lou Carpenter once. He's not dead yet though.

Somehow I doubt Frank Farian will want to stand in for him this time.
