Gay icon Lady Gaga sees red...

Matt O'Connor, founder of The Icecreamists in Covent garden, said he had received a letter from Lady Gaga's lawyers informing him that the singer planned to sue him over the name."She's threatening  to bankrupt us," he said.

O'Connor denied the flamboyant gay icon and singer inspired the name he chose for the dessert made from breast milk blended with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest.

Dead, stiff, forgotten for seven years

Dead, stiff, forgotten for seven years...



A man's corpse has been found in his bed...after nearly seven years, police in Essen, Germany, said recently.



The unemployed man, aged 59 years, had probably died of natural causes on November 30,2000, according to the date of a letter from the Welfare office found in his flat.



Next to his bed were cigarettes, an open television guide and Deutschemark coins, withdrawn from circulation after the introduction of Euros in 2002.



His flat was in an building with many offices and units, many of which were now empty.



"No missing person report was ever filed." police said.



Dead, forgotten by his family, if he had one. But who paid the rent? Would the owners of the building not investigate the fact that his rent wasn't paid? Another extraordinary story of death not reported.

Getting a new toilet and bathroom...



First published at Qondio:



Toilet week at Qondio is appropriate for us. We are actually getting a new bathroom with toilet and a walk-in level shower made for us. The bath was taken out and dumped. We are older people and sitting on a chair having a shower will become a reality very soon. Just put in a plastic chair and we will be away...showering.



The downside has been we haven't been able to stay at home until the building and installation has been carried out. We had to move out temporarily until the job has been completed. Cleaning up is easy because the whole floor is waterproofed. Mop and bucket; even a little hose would go well too!

Hutt's thought for the week...




"Its not how a man ends up that's important - but how he affects the hearts and minds of those around him."



I like that; its not the destination, but the journey that is more important.

Quote of the day...


Quote of the day from the Dominion Post, Wellington, NZ:



"There are times when a minister says something so maddening, so death-defyingly stupid, that I am glad not to be in the same room in case I reach out, grab his tie, and end what is left of my political career with one almighty head-butt."



London Mayor Boris Johnson on British Children's Secretary Ed Balls, who does not see much of a future for Latin in schools.
