Pope's Death

Who has said that -- Sky haven't flashed that yet. My God, they're being slow tonight.

A poster on DS said about the confirmation.

I've not seen it around yet ... I wouldn't believe it just off a DS posting, to be honest.

Forget the international newswires - if someone on DS says so, IT MUST BE TRUE!!!!!!!

Yeah I suppose I jumped to conclusions, but a Vatican source has told CNN.

I have a very good source at Stannah Stairlifts, who say they've just finished fitting an EasyRider 2000 series to the stairway to heaven under orders of the Vatican, to help old JPII up.

Bless his racist, sexist, homophobic soul.

Which is what we have been discussing for the past few pages ....

Well I'm tired - that's my excuse.

I think a mod needs to edit the title of this thread!

CNN's coverage really is putting me to sleep. Or maybe that's the Horlicks.

Either way, they started off with 'let's not speculate here, but I suppose what might happen is...' and it's got worse from then on.

They've been asking the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over (that bad) again just to try and stick with it. Not sure why, Fox are obsessing over Terri Schiavo - who has been murdered, Fox tell me. They have now turned to interviewing random Catholics. Several million interview opportunities, there.

The (world's worst TV presenter) Wolf Blitzer has just claimed that 'he could just recover from this and get back to work, I guess'.

Yes, because a man with advance Parkinson's, on a feeding tube, and a white blood cell count lower than absolute zero is up to a daily routine.

I'd just pay if they get rid of the BREAKING NEWS lots of space here LIVE strap at the top of the screen. Badly framed camera shot underneath.



Isn't he running the London Marathon, then?

Sky Italia saying he's not gone to hospital because the 'trip would be too perilous'. Now THAT is a bad sign.
