Not sure if this has already been posted but I'm sure many people on the forum will remember John Gillat's art if not his name which was new to me.

Found this on Steve Holland's website which is worth a read if you haven't seen it. He also reprints some old British comics from time to time. He is like a DC Thomson variant of David McDonald.

AA Gill slagged off my hometown. But I lost no sleep over it.
Didn't he once shoot a Baboon?

He did, purely to see 'what it feels like to kill someone'.  I won't miss him too much

The inventor of a life-saving technique to stop people dying of choking, Henry Heimlich, has died at the age of 96.

[Dandontdare]

I wonder just how many lives he saved? It must be tens, if not hundreds of thousands. Nowadays if someone is choking, there's always someone who knows the Heimnlich manoevre, but in the past people would just panic or slap them on the back and watch them die before an ambulance could arrive.

A true hero

My teacher did it to a boy choking on a sweet when I was about 12. Problem solved immediately

For fuck's sake, 2016, let us keep Princess Leia, please.

30 minutes cpr just to get a pulse does not fill me with much optimism.

[Tony Angelino]

I suppose if she was on a plane at the time they would have been able to get the cpr started almost straight away and that will have given her a chance.

No mention of a defibrillator. I wonder do they carry them on planes?

All this Carrie speculation is a bit ghoulish fellas, eh what? I know we're concerned but until we learn anything more all this fretting is just getting us in a tizz and feels needlessly morbid. We hope for the best, she's a great egg and has been a shining star this year pootling around being fantastically frank with her lovely dog.



Although I knew Parfitt was gravely ill this caught me off-guard. Status Quo were cheap and cheerful but nicely unpretentious and when I saw them just a few years ago at Glastonbury (and you can even see me in the BBC footage :O ) they played a few songs and went "that was a medley, not that you'd notice!"

Fair point. It truly is brilliant to see her back on the scene these days and I hope she's having the best Christmas she can.
