My Dad’s,showing that an interest in aviation lasts a lifetime … It was 1935,he was 12 and someone had given him half a crown ( 12p ).That was enough to buy a 5 minute flight in a DH84,a forerunner to the Dragon Rapide.He remembers that it was blue with silver wings,belonged to Surrey Flying Services,and even the registration G-ACIU.The aeroplane was requisitioned for the war,and left in France after Dunkirk.Just wish I could get my daughter interested in aeroplanes too .

My daughter brought so much stuff home from university we can’t move without tripping over it,my Mum is so sick of being paralysed by a neurological disease and bedridden for over a year that she wants to kill herself,and Mr. Bee is just an IDIOT !!!

“Freak home accident” is how sex-game deaths used to be reported.

Quite right too.I’d much rather believe he accidentally strangled himself hanging his socks on the line than know the honest truth.But the procedure was successful,so as my daughter and I exclaimed simultaneously,at least he died happy .

Grasshopper should have been wise enough to know …you can’t commit suicide by hanging yourself by your todger!!!

I’m trying to make a serious point here,Steve.There’s no need for me to know he made such an undignified exit .

The report of his death on the news website I looked at had some extremely explicit details of how he was found.I was discussing with my daughter,a journalism student,how hurtful and embarassing this must be for the poor chap’s family.Her view was that the editor has the last say,and his/her decision on what constitutes ” news ” is final,whatever the circumstances.I think there’s no need for the public to know that he died as a result of what’s politely known as ” an auto-erotic incident “.Any views on this ?

An 8 year old boy at the kids’ club.When I said I had to get something from another room,he patted me gently and said, “Now you take your time.”I must be looking as old as I feel .

Blimey ! Are you sure he doesn’t mind ? V. would have a pink fit if anyone called her anything like that .

It beats me how any decent person could ever be involved in broadcasting this.But I’ve always found it fascinating how differently people see humour.I love Flight of the Conchords,while Mr. Bee just doesn’t get it.He finds The Vicar of Dibley hilarious,but it’s just obvious and predictable to me.But seeing people fall over on You’ve been framed makes us both laugh.Odd,isn’t it .
