    There's a thread on the general discussion forum about speculation that Clarkson is dead, killed in a horse-riding accident in Portugal. It's linked to a post on Jalopnik, which is usually pretty reliable. Some of the story reads like a very tongue-in-cheek hoax (one which Jeremy could have written himself!), but other parts sound believeable. Perhaps someone here could advise.

    he's being held ransome by a group of white van and Mondial driving carpet wharehouse owners from Cheshire........


    There are also rumors that Castro is dead, Elvis is planning a comeback tour and John Prescott isn't in any way a scummy crook..........

    Its probably done by Clarkson himself to spark a bit more controversy

    I heard he was at the Goodwood FOS at the weekend. This, of course, could be a viscious rumour started to keep us off the scent of his death ;).

    I thought the Viscious meant that the plot was thickening (sorry couldn't resist that one), yep no doubt the two andys will stick the boot in

    You two - outside the Headmasters study now!!!!

    Now back on topic. I cannot believe that JC is dead - this would have been big news, I will go and check on Pheads, news travels very fast there. It may be a case of mistaken identity - see below...

    This is a true story, I remember many years ago when I was a FX Spot Trader coming in one morning to find that the USD had been sold off quite considerably in the Far East.
    3 factors
    i) The skiffle god - Lonnie Donegan had died overnight.
    ii) The US President at that time was Ronald Regan
    iii) errr - have you ever heard the joke 'this chicken is rubbery'
    I swear the above is true to the best of my knowledge and recollection - it is not some urban myth...

    Hard to believe that Prescott is still hanging in there. The first indication that he on his way will be when the PM states that 'he has my full support' - then he is doomed...

    The Sid Watkins knighthood thing was a scam. Though not saying he doesn't deserve it. Can't say more online

    well apparantly there is something like 29,000 people waiting and some have been waiting for a few years. my sister sorted ours out and got them in a few weeks. she went to some place in bluewater, paid a tenner and got 4 tickets. not sure quite how that worked. best thing to do is try the place in bluewater. can ask my sister and find out more if anyone wants to know. its filmed in godalming, surrey near guildford.

    Thanks,

    Skiffle music - 60's music style.

    Disgruntled customer in Chinese Restaurant says to waiter 'This chicken is rubbery'. Chinese waiter 'Thankyou velly much' - it really is a very sad old joke.
