Awww that's sad news  A larger than life character who was definitely politically incorrect, even in her cooking.  My wife & I met her a couple of times in 2010 when we stayed at a pub in Cheshire called the Cholmondeley Arms, well actually Chopper (our 5 pound short haired chihuahua) met her & she really liked him...we just happened to be there to witness the meeting

Well, he's not dead, and there's no indication that his reproductive facilities were damaged in any way. That means he's not taken himself out of the gene-pool, and is therefore ineligible for a Darwin award.
He's still an idiot, though.

Does not this qualify for about 50% of the planet's population ?

Just had a great week in France, epic weather, best snow in 50 years. The skiing was awesome. Shame the accommodation was so sh*t. Thats the last time I book a week in France I expect, Austria next!
So, skiing. There is nothing so sublime as freefalling down a mountain in that perfect balance between chaos and disaster. Of course the week doesn't start so well:
The first two days are absoloutely knackering. I don't know if its the altitude, fresh air, or relative lack of exercise the rest of the year (or that skiing is such specific exercise nothing prepares you for it) but after two days you can barely walk.
The thing is, do we ever do exercise ALL day, days in a row? Never. Skiing is brutal on the body. The sudden shock of it leaves me a shattered hulk.
What I used to do a lot at this stage was do a day snowboarding and let the muscles rest a bit/use different ones, but this year I just took a day off. (One year I didn't and could barely walk by the end of the week.  )
Then come the last two days and miraculously your body seems to have overcome and adapted because it gets quite easy, a bit breathless if you ski fast, some thigh burn if you hold a turn too long, but nothing like the first two days.
And despite expectations my technique improved a surprising amount. Didn't try to, or expect to, it was as if the legs just started doing things a bit better on their own!
Anyway, still plenty of snow left, might have to head up for a day at the weekend....

A man and woman where on their honeymoon after a long and very happy courtship. On their honeymoon, they decide to take their horses through the beautiful mountain passes of Europe. As the horses were crossing a small stream, the woman's horse mis-steps and jostles the man's wife. Once across the stream, the man dismounts, walks over to the horse, and stares into its eyes. Finally, he states, "That's one." The man remounts his horse and they continue their ride.
A bit further down the path, the woman's horse stumbles when stepping over a fallen tree. The man dismounts, stares the horse in the eyes, and boldly states, "That's two!" He returns to his saddle and they move on.
As the afternoon sun began to set, the woman's horse once again lost its footing on a mossy slope. The man dismounts, moves to the woman's horse, and helps his wife out of the saddle the man. Moving to the front of the horse he stares it in the eyes and firmly says, "That's three," removes a pistol from his vest, and shots the horse dead.
The woman, quite upset at seeing the beautiful horse killed, says to her husband, "That's terrible, why would you do such a thing!"
The man stares at his wife and firmly says, "That's one!"

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beaches in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town.
People would say, "What a peaceful & loving couple". The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.
The Husband replied: "Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America," explained the man. "We visited the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, and took a trip, down to the bottom of the canyon, by horse. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled and she almost fell off. My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said, "That's once."
"We proceeded a little further and horse stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, "That's twice."
"We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for the third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the horse dead.
I shouted at her, "What's wrong with you, woman! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that? are you crazy??" She looked at me, and quietly said, "That's once."
"And from that moment.....we have lived happily every after."

I just noticed that this joke is full of spilling errors (well, I found two at least). I apologize; All I did was cut & paste. But to be Frank, I don't feel like correcting the errors in a joke... I'll leave that up to the [other] grammar-nazis!
