The Daily Gaggle

John Palmer our second youngest member crossed the bar last week, he leaves a wife Sheila and a large extended family. There are now only eleven of the sixty odd crew members of the 38,000 Ton battleship HMS King George V, The flagship of the WW2 British Pacific fleet, who returned to Australia after WW2. There are about forty members in the UK, so from a crew of 1,800 we are a fast diminishing lot. Tomorrow we will give John Palmer a good send off, I hope he goes to where he was hoping to go. Have a safe journey old Mate. Vest.

Woman locked in cellar for 24 years by sex slave father For 24 years police thought missing Elisabeth Fritzl had run away from home to join a religious cult. Yesterday the full, sickening horror of her secret life emerged - for all that time she was allegedly held captive in a cellar by her rapist father Joseph by who she had seven children. Astonishingly Elisabeth, 42, lived with three of the youngsters in the 1.7metre-high dungeon reached through a garage and accessible only by an electronic lock with a special code. Their captivity emerged after eldest child Kerstin, 19, was taken to hospital unconscious with a mystery illness. Doctors found a note in her pocket from her mum begging for help. Another three children were "adopted" by Joseph, 73, and his wife Rosemarie who was unaware of their parentage. The seventh child, a twin, died shortly after birth. Joseph allegedly burned the body. Joseph is now under arrest suspected of incest and keeping his daughter in captivity. ...

Meet the Zapettes and the Sarkozettes - a new breed of female politician who make our lot look like the first ladies of frump. When that master of vitriol Gore Vidal decreed that "politics is showbusiness for ugly people", he was spot on. But today there is a new wave of female politicians who seem intent on demonstrating the exact opposite. In the front line: Harriet Harman José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero , the Spanish prime minister, posed with his glamorous new cabinet this week - the first time a European government has included more women than men. Add to that the much-lauded French ministerial line-up - so chic they've been dubbed the Sarkozettes - while in Italy, new prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's prospective cabinet could be said to resemble a Hugh Hefner harem. And in Britain, well, we have Hapless Harriet, Jacqui "Too Much Home Front" Smith, and Tessa the Trainspotter. Isn't it time that our women politicians got a grip and made for the...

Immorality in the western world has a long trek ahead to beat this system. For sale: 13-year-old virgin in BharatpurThirty miles west of the Taj Mahal, on the road to the pink city of Jaipur, tourists on buses pass a sight that the guide books rarely mention. In pictures: 14-year-old's virginity for sale A mile beyond the town of Bharatpur in Rajasthan, where the highway is being widened to four lanes, traffic slows down for roadworks. But the workmen who lounge by their bulldozers have their eyes on something else - a cluster of makeshift shelters where girls, several under 18 and at least two younger than 15, can be seen strolling or sitting, in view of the dusty carriageway.Tonight, one girl in particular is attracting attention as she sits on a stool by a fire so that she can be seen by passing vehicles. Her heavily made-up, striking face and beautiful pink sari make her look as if she were on her way to a party. But the truth is different. Suli, 14, is a virgin and a bidding w...

TRADITION DICTATES THAT WOMEN CAN ASK MEN TO MARRY THEM ON FEBRUARY 29 IN A LEAP YEAR. A TRIUMPH FOR EQUALITY – OR A RECIPE FOR DISASTER? TWO WRITERS THRASH IT OUT Catherine says: YES When I was a little girl, I read Snow White and dreamed that one day I too would be kissed by a handsome prince and awake to a proposal of marriage and happily-ever-after. Then I grew up and got real. What if the prince had commitment problems or was saving up to buy a property? As a passive woman who left her destiny up to fate, poor Snow White would have suffocated in her glass coffin or had to shack up permanently with the seven dwarves. I don’t think there is anything desperate or emasculating about women proposing to men. I feel that if I ever meet Mr Right and want to pop the question, I’ll be able to hand him a ring box without him handing me his testicles. Then again, I’ve never been a girl who’s had the wedding dress picked out before the first-date appetisers arrive. Call me crazy, but I think t...

When great grandad Jack Hammond, 82, had to move into a care home, he found a good local but has no one to go with him for a pint. So his son, Mike, 56, advertised at the local post office for someone to join the former radar technician at the Compass Inn in Winsor, Hants, twice a week for a few drinks.

Couples to sign contracts before sex to avoid rape. AN independent female MP is calling for couples to sign contracts before having sex, to avoid false allegations of sexual assault being made. Independant South Australia MP Ann Bressington today confirmed she was serious when she said couples should sign a contract before sex to combat false rape allegations, if proposed laws are passed. The independent MP yesterday told Parliament the planned new laws, which make it an offence to continue a sex act with a person after consent if they changed their mind, would make it easier for men to be accused of rape. She also claimed "one-night stands" and casual relationships would become a "high-risk activity". "Perhaps this parliament could devise a contract which men could carry around in their pocket, next to their condoms," she said during a speech to Parliament. "There could be a waiver should a man meet up with a woman who has had a couple of drinks befo...
