Haha, that's great.

Of course, at the time, St Giles was about the worst place you could possibly be. Tenements that would shock a northerner, ridiculous murder and poverty rates, even by standards then. Absolutely mental.

Of course, some may say that it's not too much better now.

I remember when I first started visiting. London, I was shocked at how huge some of the council estates were.

Blame Mr A. Hitler of No. 1 Berlin for most of that. Mass re-housing, quickly.

I'm going to name my next children Erotic, Slutty and Horny.

More cool than it is weird ...

The 80-year-old Norwegian received a cornea transplant fifty years ago, a piece of tissue now 123 years old that still works today. It could be the oldest eye, or even human body part, still functioning or to have ever been in use for so long. ... He had a cornea transplanted into his right eye in 1958, from a man born in June 1885. At the time it was expected to work for only 5 years. However, Reuters report that the procedure has been in use since the early 20th century. That means there could be even older corneas out there.

Oh that is cool!
I like things like that.

Ooooo! Cool indeeed!

I hope the current owner donates the cornea when he dies so it can live on.

Like in his will or something?

CHANGE!!!

OPRAH Winfrey is being talked about as a possible US ambassador to Great Britain in a Barack Obama administration.

The scenario was suggested yesterday in an item in the London Times that quoted "well-placed sources" as saying her name had been "floated" for the job, considered the top rung of all US ambassadorships.

But a spokeswoman at Winfrey's Chicago TV company said: "She hasn't been approached."

The appointment would be seen as a reward for Winfrey's endorsement of Senator Obama's run for president. She made that official last December, the first time she had publicly backed a candidate.
