Failed suicide attempt?

That's the way to go smile

We love playing 'Sun' Bingo. Whenever the latest celeb was found guilty of noncing we'd draw a bingo chart ready for the newspaper the next day that one of the technicians always leaves lying around.
The most popular words used were always 'vile', 'sick', 'paedo', 'shamed', 'fiend', 'disgraced' and 'pervert'. You could basically assemble any of those with another verb related to the occupation to give the opening line. E.G We predicted that Max Clifford would be described as the 'shamed PR pervert'. Glitter was either 'vile pop paedo' or 'vile sex fiend'. We got so good at it the we could read 1/2 of a sentence out and the someone else usually managed to guess exactly how it was finished.
On that subject, we've got 'the list' which was drawn up by two of us when Jimmy first got found out and operation yewtree first kicked off. We did an excel chart trying to predict who was going to be arrested. DLT was on there along with Jim Davidson and Rolf so we got a few hits. It's all gone a bit quiet of late but we're patiently waiting for our No.1 on the list to be ticked off....

Must get nervous rocking up for Wimbledon....Andy Murray that is....

Totally off topic, I've always enjoyed deal or no deal as well. And stars in their eyes...

Indeed! "Busted" by "the cops" and "caged" are my favourite tabloidisms.
You need to try reading the Times of India. "Nabbed" is a very popular phrase, for example.
"Tot" to describe a small cute child and "slammed" to describe displeasure are mine.
And lets not forget to give an honorable mention to those "greedy" bankers.
Refering to scientists as "boffins" and if they are really good scientists then they are "top boffins".
And celebrities, sorry celebs, never have friends. They have pals.
Posh people and young Royals have "chums".
And Welsh people have sheep..

Referring to hairdressers as "crimpers".

As in headlines like "Queeen's crimper in sex scandal".

But when the firefighters arrive the building is always "well alight". I think a job in Fire Service PR is probably the easiest job in the world. "The firefighters attended with 4 appliances to discover the building was well alight". How hard can it be?
