From the Soaps (and I think 'Odd' as well) sections:
Oops!
The cremated remains of Frisky the cat sold for more than £700 at an auction today.
The cat appeared in Coronation Street's title sequence for more than ten years before his death in 2000.
The 14-year-old cat's ashes, which were sealed in a wooden casket with a brass plaque, had been expected to fetch up to £150.
A spokesman for Dominic Winter Auctioneers in Gloucestershite confirmed that the remains had been sold to a private bidder for £700. With the buyer's premium added, the final price paid was £844.
At the height of his fame, Frisky had a fanclub with more than 1,500 members.
John Rimington, who put the ashes up for auction, plans to give the money to the Cat Protection League.
Oops!

Think that might have actually been a thread rather than an article.
Blah blah died on xxx .....followed by All My Love, Margaret Your Living Sister.
Erm shouldnt that be LOVING sister?!
Am I just being thick? I don't get that
Neither do I
spelling of Gloucestershire as Gloucestershite
for those of us who are easily amused..
I think they're talking about this....
Nope, I don't get that either... so that makes at least three of us.
Four.
Gloucester is a shite hole anyway, so in that respect I don't think it is a typo. Incidentally, the correct spelling of the county is Cheltenhamshire!!!
That made me laugh even more, because you're now suggesting that I didn't get the OP, even though I wrote it!! :rolleyes:
This is annoying!
(do you think the 'L' key getting stuck means a rogue L will be added to a word or missed out of a word to make what is supposedly an amusing typo? gah... i'm not going to be able to concentrate on anything else for the rest of the day!!!)
clarribo - come back and explain please.
