I was watching Mrs Browns Boys and it got interrupted. I am still waiting for it to come back on.

Oops, never said where I was, I was on here awaiting the inevitable question relating to his demise & here it is.

@ucme The minute my programme got interrupted (and I’m still waiting for it to come back on, probably won’t now) I came on here and wondered how long it would take someone.. Only had to press refresh twice!

@ucme Yes, it was a Christmas episode. Was really funny. Turned the tv off now and will probably head to bed.

@Lorna Okay, best not to dwell on comedy shows on this thread I guess, nighty night :)

A few moments ago. On a hillside plantation a few miles north of Vieux Fort, St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles. Amazing guy.

Just now? Are you serious?

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

^ Yes, dead serious. I have not watched the news, or read a paper in weeks. I have not even read Time or Newsweek muchless seen the front page of one in ages.

Dutchess_III's avatar

That’s not a bad thing, @Hypocrisy_Central. But did you know Martin Luther King got shot though?

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

That I did hear of, and it wasn’t a MOB hit either~ ;-D
