United Airlines is facing another PR disaster after a potentially record-breaking giant rabbit perished onboard one of its transatlantic flights.

The 3ft (90cm) continental giant rabbit named Simon, which was 10 months old, died while travelling from London Heathrow to O’Hare airport in Chicago, the Sun reported.

Annette Edwards, a breeder from Worcestershire, told the newspaper that Simon was expected to grow to be the world’s biggest rabbit after his father Darius grew to 4ft 4in (1.32 metres). She said his buyer was famous.

Depression era, tough time in childhood, rose above it all. More than just a footy legend and funny to boot.
One of his jokes with Jack Dyer on the three wise monkey show (which he would have thought of) from memory:

Lou: Jack, what do you think of all this pre-marital stuff so popular these days? I waited until Edna and I were married. What about you?

Jack Dyer: Not sure Lou, What was her maiden name?
 
Off track on Lou...but one from EJ Whitten-The worst thing about being a grandfather --is having to sleep with a grandmother
 
Man plans and the gods laugh...

The last month has a left great hole in nations body politic both critical and acerbic... Farewell Mark Colvin and farewell J.Clarke...

It was a hope of the late Christopher Hitchins to write (no doubt I suspect mostly complete already written and waiting) and publish the obituary of Kissinger... And on cue the filth himself is at the knee of Pussy Grabber'n' Chief.... so much injustice.
and the gods laugh...

I enjoyed him as Beauregarde Maverick; typical name he would offer up in the same vein as James St John (sin-jin) Smythe

He said his best role was in "The Man who Haunted himself", a film that only diehard movie fans would know existed. I must try and find it.

Being a movie buff I admit to watching this some time ago. He certainly put in a convincing effort, in some ways a little too good a display.
