Been On Holiday (by mistake...)

Clint Oyster's picture

and managed to avoid pretty much all news media for two whole weeks. Not my idea, but I thought I'd better roll with it...
However, as refreshing as it might have seemed at the time to cut myself off from the usual trivia, I can't help feeling out of the loop as to what's been happening. Can any kindly souls fill me in on what I've missed? Extra points for any semi-obscure celebrity deaths...

Celeb death

Cyril Smith.

Tony Blair in 'Quite Good Autobiography, Actually' shock.

William Hague in "Not Gay, No Sir" riposte to media.

GMTV ends. World still turning.

Pakistan cricketers in 'spot-betting' scandal, ruining at least one young man's career.
This at the same time as millions of their compatriots are literally facing catastrophe and possible death as a result of the floods.

God is indeed a delusion, thinks Stephen Hawking.

England footballers in 'win' shock.

"Most depraved film ever", The Human Centipede, opens to general critical apathy. Word of mouth is that it's a load of arse.

David and Sam Cam give birth to daughter whilst on holiday in Cornwall, unfortunately don't name her Pam but rather Florence Rose Endellion (after Cornish town St Endellion). To celebrate this momentous occasion, Morrisons' Feature Flavour cheese is....St Endellion Brie (I kid you not, I bought some today!).

Chilean miners still stuck down t'pit, and will be for a few weeks yet.

More after these messages...

Cheers to all the above...

... for the catch-up service. I now feel suitably informed once again (although I wasn't sure whether Cyril Smith was already dead). Thank yer very glad!
