They all do in the end, it's one of life's tragedies.

I think it's a mixture of losing your energy and gaining some money. Even the MIGHTY Orioles, one time wild-eyed revolutionary poet, now prefers a nice cup of tea and a long ramble with the dogs.

I've heard it said that -

If you're not a revolutionary when you're 20 you haven't got a heart - and if you're not a conservative by the time you're 40 you haven't got a brain.

conservative with a small c there.

Not much of a shocker, Easter. It's like an embarrassing family secret that comes out at Christmas when someone has too much to drink; there's lots of nervous shuffling and staring at the floor.

The numbers during the race with Sosa in '98 were so huge that it's assumed by most fans now that McGwire was juiced.

Very sad, though :|

I assumed you'd say that, and I agree of course. Taints the whole era imo. Was reading something about Jeff Bagwell's HOF prospects and how this could be used against him. Hopefully not Griffey. Any question marks over your blue-eyed boy?

Was paul merton ever anti establishment - a few anti gov jokes in the 80's and early 90's hardly counts! Elton I think had a master plan from a young age (his family it can be argued are part of the establlshment anyway) Alexei sayle on the other hand, couldn't agree more!

The actress who played Rab C. Nesbitt's wife was always mouthing off about her socialist principles. Demanded, and got, £10,500 a week for panto work in Glasgow about 10 years ago, when stagehands were earning poverty wages. Lives in big mansion in an exclusive area of Glasgow. Vile woman.

yes as a matter of fact sibby!

Never mind the fact that he became famous as a deliriously rude, shouty and irreverent stand-up Ben Elton actually hails from a rather eminent and scholarly family.

He's the son of Lewis Elton, one of the UK's most renowned academics. Born Ludwig Ehrenberg, he and his family lived in Prague until 1939, when the Nazi tyranny forced them to escape to Britain. Ehrenberg changed his name to Lewis Elton and has since lectured in physics and served as Professor of Higher Education at various universities across the UK. On top of that, his brother (and Ben Elton's uncle) was the late Sir Geoffrey Elton, one of the greatest classical historians of his generation. (He was also a vocal supporter of Margaret Thatcher, even as his nephew became famous for verbally bashing her on telly.)
