![]() Plenty of action in Detroit Congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers for winning the 40th Super Bowl and joining the Cowboys and the 49ers on 5 wins. Hard cheese to the Seahawks for coming second, but they should try to follow in the footsteps of the Miami Dolphins, who lost their first Super Bowl but went on to win the next, Super Bowl 7, after a perfect season and also won Super Bowl 8. |

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT POLITICAL CRIMINALITY Politicians fall foul of the rules from time to time. BlackFlag News has come across the case of a local government councillor who suffered a particularly disproportionate treatment in the kangaroo court run by that new labour creation, the Standards Board for England. CLICK HERE to find out (a) what sort of punishments MPs receive for their crimes (and what they can get away with), (b) how their punishment compares with what happened to Councillor M and (c) how lightly Ken Livingstone got off. |
Founded in 1856 to transmit messages by telegraph to all available parts of the United States, the company has decided that new era technology has made its primary function obsolete. With emails and instant messages available on the internet, Western Union delivered just 20,000 telegrams last year at $10 a go, which didn't do much for the company's wage bill. In future, Western Union plans to concentrate on money transfers and other financial services.
The archetypal comic's straight man has died at 76. Through the second half of the 20th Century, he worked with the likes of Charlie Drake, Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howerd, Terry Scott, Dick Emery and Eric Sykes, but he is best remembered for his long association with Benny Hill. When not working on a TV series, Mr. McGee toured with theatre companies and worked in shows on cruise liners. He enjoyed a long and successful working life thanks for his ability to get on with his job and avoid bruising the egos of the star performers.
The actor who played Grandpa (aged 378) in the TV series The Munsters has died at 82. After working in the circus, and burlesque and vaudeville theatre shows, Mr. Lewis got his TV break in the comedy cop show Car 54, Where Are You? in the early 1960s. Fred Gwynne, another refugee from 'Car 54', played his son-in-law, Herman, in The Munsters. Mr. Lewis's career continued in TV comedies and feature films, and he stood for governor of New York on a Green party ticket in 1998.
The actor who played Ambassador G'Kar in Babylon 5, the best TV science fiction series of all time, has died at 59. He chose to become an actor at an early age, and studied theatre to master's degree level at St. Louis then Indiana universities.
Created in the final years of World War II to provide well-equipped operating theatres close to the front line, the US army has abolished the MASH unit after 60 years. They have been replaced by combat support hospitals.
The man who revolutionized air travel with budget prices has died at 83. He founded Laker Airways to challenge the big carriers with his Skytrain service, building on experience gained during the Berlin Air-Bridge and his service with British European Airways. His rivals took umbrage and the firm was forced out of business in 1982. Several major carriers subsequently had to pay compensation to Sir Freddie and the liquidators of his airline, giving substance to his accusations that they had conspired together to sink Laker Airways.
The author of Jaws (1974) and Claws has died at 65. Steven Spielberg's film of his first novel was a monster hit and a great boost to the author's future earning potential. It also had the unwelcome consequence of turning the great white shark into public enemy number one and a 'legitimate' target for any nutter with diving gear and explosive spears. Many of Peter Benchley's novels have the sea as a background theme and he felt obliged to turn shark conservationist in a bid to undo some of the havoc wreaked by marine vandals.
One of the stars of ITV's World of Sport has died at 80. Jackie Pallo, with bleached hair tied up with a ribbon and his trademark striped trunks, was a regular on the Saturday afternoon freestyle wrestling programme before the football results. His rivalry with fellow bad guy Mick McManus was the stuff of legends. The frequent victim of assaults by old ladies with hat-pins and handbags, he was a master of dirty tricks in a branch of the wrestling world which still retained some contact with the rules and the concept of victory going to the more skilled man. [Unlike the WW$. Ed.] |
The European Commission has been bludgeoned into keeping its grasping mitts off traditional package sizes for wines, spirits, milk, bread and sugar as a result of a sustained campaign to preserve the pint of milk in Britain.
Registered as dead in a Barcelona court in 1994, the lady managed to prove that she was still alive in 1998, but she remained a legal non-person as the Spanish state lacked a reverse gear and a means of declaring someone undead. When she had a child, it was registered as an orphan as the mother was still officially deceased. But this month, Spain's bureaucratic machinery finally creaked to the conclusion that Ms Calvo really does belong in the land of the living. |

The Moslem world has been boycotting all things Danish after a newspaper printed a dozen cartoons featuring Mohammed, the Moslem prophet. Curiously, they were printed in September last year but the trouble didn't start until last month, confirming that the outrage is mainly manufactured for political purposes.
p.p.s. Only false gods require constant worship and adoration from mere human beings. p.p.p.s. All religions dehumanize people and the bunch who push the suicide-bomber version of Islam seem to manage an extra special dose of human-quality extraction.
