She lives near my dad.

He says he sees her in the pub with her new chap.

Her husband was a bit thick, dumps her when she is making 2 million a year.

She said in an interview she buys cloths from Oxfam. Cool, she is rich, sexy, clever, and does not spend her cash.

She looks better each year.

The only reason the show ran for 23 years was on the strength or the two presenters. I think CV will jack it in now and the show will be toast.

I think CV was giving up anyway.

I think who should take it over is that ex conservative person jials bradwidth.

The down side is hes dead, but I guess the upside is he died of pneumonia so got extra points for using a 9 letter word and using all the vowels.

In his honour they could be renaming the countdown clock to the 'Dicky Ticker'

Its interesting, how a few days ago he was being called all the names under the sun. Now he is dead, he is the 'loved' presenter.

A bit like Diane. The day before she died, she was the 'slapper' in the papers, when she died she became a saint.

I bet if news of my death came on this message board, it would be all, Allan was great Or maybe not.

When he was on, he almost took over.

He would be great for the show.

I laughed outloud but I felt dirty for doing it.
