So, does that mean for the ten years up until 2007, we were a "lyingmoneygrabbingtwattery" and now we just a "pairofknobsery"?

Harold, I'm not doubting your word, but please understand Kenny Everett did actually say that about Miss Thatcher. Therefore, I find it highly surprising that he actually supported her. That being said, I was given a different history while I was at school when that Falklands chapter was going on which didn't cover it as effectively as what you just stated. I appreciate the history lesson & have learnt the error of my ways.

It also might explain why I hated that paedophilistic priest that taught me such bad history, but the less said about that, the better...

I still don't like Thatcher, though...and not because she was a woman. It's just that she reminds me of a female Stalin with ultra conservative leanings. I think a thick bristly moustache on her would have suited her...

I really wouldn't know. I always vote for the Australian Democrats.

I believe everyone has the right to waste their vote gloriously like I do...

Kenny did a warm up at a tory party conference famous for exhorting Thatcher to 'bomb the Commies'. Everyone but the gutter press knew he was joking.

Don't have to like Thatcher to realise that the response to the invasion was by and large correct.

Maggie gets both blame and praise for many things she didn't actually do. Grow a Stalin moustache was one of the many things she failed in.

Re Kenny Everett-if I remember correctly he said "Let's Bomb Russia!"(cheers) and then added "Let's kick Michael Foot's stick away!"(more cheers) I doubt anyone would have taken him seriously but he told a story years later that he was introduced to Thatcher and she virtually ignored him(told to Terry Wogan on his chat show)

First the web address:

Then the following news article to go with it:

While Madonna might be 53, she's certainly not shy about showing off her best ass-ets (pun intended). She's currently on tour in Europe with her MDNA concert series.

The pop star might have covered up on Monday when she arrived in Italy, but when she hit the stage on Tuesday night in Rome, she was anything but(t). Editor's Note: We can see a pun pattern forming here.

During the song 'Human Nature' -the same song she flashed a breast during in Istanbul over the weekend -Madonna started to strip, this time choosing to reveal a black lacy g-string, fishnets and her rock hard derrière.

The pop star cheekily quipped, "I never know what's going to happen in this part of the show," and we have to say we think she's right. Although we hate to think what Madonna will eventually start flashing if she doesn't want to show the same thing twice.

And now for my comments...it's best you all hide under your bed.

It's bad enough I can't stand this woman in any form of her entertainment(?) career -but to show off your @$$ on stage once you get past 40 as a way of getting interest out of your audience?

I thought that stunt by that female(?) member of the Jackson clan was bad enough, with it being oh so scandalous and accidental...yeah, right, and I'm the new Pope. That's why there is so much white smoke hanging over the Vatican at the moment...

No, actually, I tell a lie about being the Pope. I like to sleep in on Sundays. And as for our lowness Madge, it seems she is imitating the way Jim Morrison ended up by flashing his thing at an audience. Maybe Madge might want to start the '55 club?' It certainly seems like she's heading the right way...and I'd be happy to help her along...

Is there anybody that hasn't seen Madonna naked? FFS, I think even the pope has seen her naked. I will admit for a 53 year old she is very fit but I didn't think she was all that attractive when she put out that book "Sex" all those years ago.

I noticed this in my copy of Computeractive today-albeit from last month but it might be a help to you. The FBI, in their infinite panicky wisdom are going to be switching off servers in an effort to stop the spread of the Trojan DNSChanger (Domain Name Server) which will change the way that PCs understand addresses, so users would be directed to fraudulent websites. A criminal gang released this Trojan in 2007 and was arrested in November 2011 in Estonia. FBI Officers took control of their DNS Server to ensure that affected users and businesses did not immediately lose their web connection. However I read that the FBI will be switching off servers on 9th July meaning that infected computers will have no way to work out the IP addresses behind website names. They reckon nearly 20,000 computers in Britain could be affected and it means you won't be able to access the Internet from the 9th.

If you want to check(as I did earlier) to make sure your computer is infected or not try this http://www.dns-ok.us and if it is(it shows the background red) then you can find out how to disinfect it here www.snipca.com/6079 The FBI also say that you should run a FULL security scan to make sure there is no other malicious software.
I hope this helps you if you are infected. You know what they say, forewarned is forearmed so tell your friends and family, it could save them a lot of grief.

OneDDL is no more...the following was posted on their website:

It is with great sadness that today I announce the closure of OneDDL. This is not a joke, nor a prank, but the result of a hard decision, made in difficult times.
[SIC] If you are still reading this with interest, you will probably want to know why we have decided to close our doors, because believe me, this was not an easy decision to arrive at. The legality of websites, such as ours, has always been a rather grey area. I had believed that this ambiguity would work to our advantage and originally, that it what lawyers told us (yes, we went to see lawyers). Lately however, the landscape has changed, and it appears the grey is gradually becoming black and white, unfortunately not in our favour. We have always acted within the law, responding to takedown requests in an efficient manner by removing any reported links without question. For some people, this is simply not enough. So dies yet another great website, long live the OneDDL spirit!
