this was 46 years ago today

something for the coffin dodgers (kudos to cashy ;)) to wonder where the hell time has gone ...1962Actress Marilyn Monroe performed a sultry rendition of "Happy Birthday" for President John F. Kennedy during a fund-raiser at New York's Madison Square Garden.

She was size 16 (like me :) )

I seem to remember the first colour TV I saw in an ordinary house was around 1968, my next door neighbour had one, my mother got one in 1973 a 20 inch, today your not up with the times if you haven't got an HD Plazma

It only seems like yesterday (Oh God, I'm getting old). I was getting ready for my wedding (all those lists and the invitations to be sent out.) I remember my husband-to-be said, "How have they managed to get her to sing for him?" Well we all know how, now, don't we?

I think ther will always be people who think Diana was topped cashy, I don't think a death has been more thoroughly investigated than her's, yet I can't see anyone ever know the whole truth, but even so this doesn't take away from the fact that the CIA are ruthless, and are a law unto themselves:rolleyes:

From what has been said Rindi, seems she had got used to it, as Marilyn wasn't the first, seems he had a liking for the ladies:D

Never heard it called that before. When questioned by the Senate regarding his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton replied: "I have never diddled that woman."

Re: this was 46 years ago today

I always thought diddling meant doing somebody out of something, like giving them the wrong change in a shop. I'll have to be careful in future and not declare that I've been diddled! :eek:

I remember my Mum coming home one day excitedly telling us she'd seen a coloured telly in Ken Cleggs. Dad and me rushed down to see it - it was a B/W TV with a poster stuck on the front!:D

Re: this was 46 years ago today

Maybe diddled has a different meaning in USA cause like Willow I always use it in the context of being short changed etc....
