R.I.P. Mr Harvey x

I logged onto MSN just a few minutes ago, and thought some bad news was about to be bestowed upon me. For some reason, I mistakenly thought Grindon had changed his screen name to "R.I.P. Mr Harvey x" - indicating that one of Metropol's best loved contributors had passed on.
Fortunately, I the screen name belonged to someone else not connected with this site and on further inquiry, it turns out that this particular 'Mr Harvey' was a hamster.
It was about 3 seconds of shock thinking that Lord Harvey of Devizes had passed on. Anyone else had something similar happen before? Clicking onto a news website or reading the first line of an e-mail and mis-reading it?
If you saw this thread and thought "Oh noes! The Harvester is dead!" then you kinda know my reaction when I looked on MSN!

What a boring and banal thread. I'd lock and remove it if I could be bothered to face the enormous moan from Jamez that such an action would entail. God forbid I move his fucking thread about shit.
Why not start a thread on wanking next? Or when everyone first discovered they were gay?

I doubt there are many gay members on here!

I was meeting a friend in Holborn last year, and came off the Tube to see the Evening Standard headline "BROWN IN GAY ADMISSION".
It transpired it was actually former BP boss Lord Brown and an escort, rather than our then soon-to-be Prime Minister.

When John Major stopped leading the Tories, there was a story about the Queen at the same time, meaning one newspaper had the words 'I QUIT AS LEADER' next to a huge unrelated picture of her Majesty. Being a kid it took me a long time before I realised the Queen wasn't abdicating.
This thread title did indeed worry me at first, I should have realised it was a Major Setup!
