    As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless, uninhabited, hostile and
    meaningless universe. Still, you’ve got to laugh, haven’t you?

    Dr John's 'Thought of the Day'.

    As others have said: "Life's a bitch - and then you die".




    My two favourite death bed 'last words' are -

    From Oscar Wilde (and thus subject to doubt): "I can't bear the pattern of this wallpaper - one of us has to go".

    From Emanuel Shinwell (a well-respected labour MP, 1922 - 1970), who after requesting a glass of whisky to drink said (of life): "Well it has all been very interesting".

    Or as AZ, a rapper, paraphrased:

    Apparently not an Xmas ad at all - they are promoting their name change ... to 'John Lewis and Partners' (or some such)

    Waitrose have also had a name makeover at the same time (owned by JL&P...)
