Bugger.

Mrs K told me about that in a pause during the most distressing part of watching the Pacific yesterday. I blarted.

Yeah, but you didn't specify Bad AIDS as the cause.

I assume that will be for this

Apple boss Steve Jobs takes 'medical leave'
Breaking News

Apple boss Steve Jobs has announced that he is to take "medical leave" from the company.

In an e-mail to employees he said he was taking the break to focus on his health.

He said he would continue as chief executive of Apple and be involved in any major decisions. Day-to-day running of the company will pass to Tim Cook.

In late 2008 to mid-2009 Mr Jobs was absent from Apple for six months to have a liver transplant.

If we're doing that, we should start awarding quarter-points for dead bits of our celebrities:

And I've just realised I forgot to make any nominations this year. Oh well.

EDIT And I'm really really sorry for the poor taste

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Jan 17, 2011 15:19

You've got until the end of this month.

Kern · **Posted:** Mon Jan 17, 2011 15:21

Ok, in that case I'm sticking with last year's:

1. Prince Phillip
2. Bruce Forsythe
3. Zsa Zsa Gabor
4. Tony Benn
5. Nicholas Parsons
6. Colonel Gaddafi
7. Fidel Castro
8. George HW Bush

Untimelies

9. Amy Winehouse
10. Lady Gaga

You get a quarter point for her as she's just had a leg off.

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Jan 17, 2011 15:35

Three posts late, man

Kern · **Posted:** Mon Jan 17, 2011 15:42

It would, of course, be churlish to suggest a rule then immediately benefit from it, so I'll wait to see if Lady Gaga drops a tit or something (0.125 points, I think)

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

I'm pretty sure Lady Gaga isn't 1/4 boob.

Presumably its yet to be confirmed by his agent. The news seems to have come via Katy Manning (Jo Grant) who was a family friend.

German polar bear sensation Knut died today after being over-stimulated by the presence of female bears. He was four.
"He was with the female bears before, who had just been shut away," his keeper said. "Then, Knut strolled around the enclosure, went into the water, had a short spasm and died."
Hundreds of cunts Knut fans are descending on Berlin zoo as keepers tried to shield the bear's corpse from onlookers.

They also have a picture of the dead bear floating in his pool. Nice.
