World's oldest living person Lucile Randon dead at 118

25 days short of her 119th birthday

Is she a celebrity? Is being old enough of a qualifier? Is the previously 2nd oldest person (now the oldest) now a celebrity?

Not looking good for Julian Sands, who has been missing in the California mountains in very poor weather since last weekend.

People have fair got it in for him for being a jobbing film actor rather than a star.

Not sure about hammered, but many reality TV shows the wife watches (and I glance at from time-to-time) have no issued with showing folk drinking then saying their cheerybyes in the car park then driving off.   Even some of the cop shows kind of give the impression it's not take all that seriously with the cops and driver sharing a joke or three during the process.  In itself it's not much but it does reflect the way drinking and driving is viewed.

The drink drive limit of 0.08 allows the average person at least two to three drinks before getting to the limit...is what everyome thinks, discounting the fact everyone gets oversized drinks or double shots. The older limit, 0.10, was in place a long time and allowed three or four drinks. In both cases, the time also is a factor, with people not understanding three drinks in an hour is different than three drinks over three hours.

Which is why UK motorways have gentle curves built into them.

Interstate highways are generally built to a 70-80 mph standard. I can't find any standard for UK motorways, but they remind me of similar roadways in the U.S., so an 80 mph design speed seems about right.

It's quite funny Americans can't drive straight but seem to shoot reasonably well.

Although not 100% convinced it’s true might be a hoax. Deadly duo if true though.

He was a lodger with my granny as a drama student.

That doesn't get me Deadpool points but it connects me obliquely with Peter Sellers....

Not really, they just spray so many rounds someone’s sure to get hit.
