He'll do anything to get his ego stroked.

I am flattered that you await my posts with such keen anticipation, Amateur. I didn't know you cared.

I am not in the habit, unlike some posters, of starting obituary threads. I generally find them maudlin and self-indulgent. Plenty has been said in the media about Marie Colvin's sad end and her many remarkable achievements over the years. I see no point in replicating that here.

However, amongst the tediously relentless stream of vitriol and ridicule that pervades the merest mention of News International on these boards, I would have hoped that there might have been at least some acknowledgement that Marie Colvin represented all that was admirable about journalism, even though she was- according to most contributors here- some sort of emissary of Satan, working as she did for the ultimate emobdiment of evil, Rupert Murdoch.

Good news here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17188791

I'm amazed that the ever-vigilant (some might say ever-petulant ) Mr Pee has failed to draw this good news about a Sunday Times journalist to our attention

By-the-by I'm thrilled about Mr Pee's neologism about Rupert Murdoch: the ultimate emobdiment of evil
