    Famous Last Words.

    Death of man who devised the so-called Barnett Formula (From The Northern Echo)

    Feck me, I hope my last words are a bit more interesting.

    Though "Prepare to die, Earthman" didn't go down too well the last time.


    For dear old Freako: Lord Joel Barnett, inventor of the Barnett formula, has popped his clogs at the age of 91.

                    But he thought the joke was so funny that he had "told" it several times in his various books long before he croaked!

                    Spikes funniest quote was "snivelling little bastard" in reference to HRH Chaz waxing lyrical in a written blurb to some award or other.....
