celine dion's husband/manager

[ummmm]

Céline Dion's husband died yesterday. René Angélil, was a producer.

They're said to come, or rather go, in threes.

[1ozzy]

Well you're still with us Mikey ;-)

[mikey4444]

Only just 1ozzy !

[sandyRoe]

1ozzy, are you all baking in the relentless sunshine, seeking shady places and ice cold glasses of the amber nectar?
I ask because there was an item on the news this morning about a town in Mikey's homeland Wales, that has had cold, miserable, rain for 80 consecutive days.

[mikey4444]

Sandy....Its worse than you think !

I first moved to Swansea in 1968, as a 15 year old schoolboy, and apart from the odd week or two, it seems to have been raining ever since !

I know it was peeing down when I went to bed last night and guess what.......its still persistently peeing down now.

[1ozzy]

Hi Sandy, until today we had 41c+ for about 12-14 days running.
Cold change came through last night maxed out at 14c today.
Feels much colder than it really is.
Still searching out amber nectar though ;-)

Sorry for digressing Mikey.

ps: The climate varies a lot from one end to the other, or side to side here.

[Old_Geezer]

So. You're saying you're a rainmaker/jinx or something ?

[mikey4444]

No apology needed 1ozzy. My nephew is in Sydney and is always sending us pics of him downing the amber nectar, in sun beach bar somewhere....cheers us up no end when we are shivering here in Blighty !

[1ozzy]

I'm sure it does Mikey, warm your beer in a microwave, don some sunglasses and relax under a heat lamp ;-)

[mikey4444]

1ozzy...can you get "Real Ale" in Oz ? ie, something that isn't lager ?

[1ozzy]

It is available Mikey, bottled or canned from a "Bottle O".
Or in boutique establishments at a squillion dollars a pop.

I have just googled, 'How many people die in one day in GB?'

I couldn't find a specific answer. Anyone know?

[1ozzy]

Death rate: 9.34 deaths/1,000 population (2014 est.)

http://www.indexmundi.com/united_kingdom/death_rate.html

So next question. What's your population?

[wolf63]

Tilly, depends if you are talking about all people or just the humans.

Tilly is a person and has a personality. My two moggies are people ....

[mikey4444]

Thanks 1ozzy....My nephew is a fizzy lager fan but I am not !

[Tilly2]

Ozz, I don't know and am expecting someone else to do the work. ;-)

Wolf, I did actually mean humans but I see your point. :-)

[1ozzy]

UK 2014 population 64,037,314.

I don't have a brain and I'm not very clever ;-)

Are you not a retired teacher Tilly?

[Tilly2]

English, not Maths, Ozz.
