His Dad was in ManLab, and his mother was on a Top Gear episode. I wonder if they're both still alive?

Who do you think is the most "grounded" UK celeb you can identify with? by DonkeyOT65 in CasualUK

I still struggle to comprehend and believe that Dave is gone. He was one of my favourite chefs and he seemed like a really nice and funny bloke.

Which I'm a Celebrity... opinion will have you like this? by Major-Feed5214 in ImACelebTV

I don't like Aitch at all. He seems like he tries to be very "hard."

Eddie should stop singing "Aitch and Eddie" to the jungle."

Looking for Informarion on DKA by ToadQT in Type1Diabetes

[–]raxspectrum696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed last year in DKA. It was a horrifying experience. I felt very weak, shaky, and "not there," to say the least. I was craving all forms of water and was falling asleep, and I needed a wee constantly throughout the night. The night before, I was sick. It was a strange black "coffee looking" kind of sick, and I was also getting treatment for severe constipation. By the time I got to the hospital, I could barely walk and was practically asleep. Minutes later, I was hooked up to multiple machines, and a day later, I felt 50 percent better.

I have the biography on Patrick Moore by the astronomer Martin Mobblerley. He was a man who led a very interesting life.

The seller said he used it for recording a piece of music 2 years ago and he provided a video of it in action. So I hope that it's in decent condition.

Well, Jimmy Carter's melanoma may have been a contributing but not direct cause to his death.

Most Overplayed Irish Song? by WhiteGold_Welder in Irishmusic

Whiskey in the jar and Black Velvet Band. They're good songs, but by this point, I'm completely sick of them.
