Yes sorry "j'ai mordu à l'hameçon"

My understanding was that was just South Korea and a couple of south-east Asian countries, but I’m happy to be corrected on this.

Bold coming from the creator of: I'll confess, I have a few lists like that lying around. I'm left-handed though.

I would also suggest that a worrying percentage of people panic and start counting on their fingers when you ask them their age. It could be that someone did the maths of 2024-1930. Nevertheless, we have 2 precise dates.

Kikue Taira is an unique hit for @Trome CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Oh you have some countries where it ends up being the next birthday anniversary. Fairly common, we are the strange ones imo. He was in his 94th year so that's not my problem with it really.

Kikue Taira reportedly dead: https://longeviquest.com/2024/04/kikue-taira-younger-sister-of-the-worlds-oldest-ever-pair-of-siblings-dies-at-113/ Centenarians DP pick @chilean way

Christopher Reich also has a small but memorable role in the original Survivors, as the Doctor who realises there's a pandemic before dying of it and telling his friend (and show main character) Jenny to get to the countryside. He's also in one of the Armchair Thrillers, though not the one with the ghost nun everyone remembers. Sheena Penson is in a good Taggart but in a blink and you'll miss it extra role. She was recurring in Still Game but not memorably so. Patricia Heneghan had a recurring role in Crown Court in episodes not yet repeated by Talking Pictures. She was in a lot of the early 70s TV classics, and played a minor role in classic film Whistle down the Wind. Murray Hayne a recognisable face. Another memorable role in Survivors, Hodges from When the Boat Comes in (seemingly never off Drama), Martin in the (godawful) Brothers, and yes, as a hypnotised killer in a Tara King episode of The Avengers. One of those "that face" old school actors.

Motsoko Pheko being reported dead, but aged 94? Hmm, odd, I'd have expected a proper news report by now so needing confirmation.
-
He tweeted an hour ago so I guess hoax ?
-
The same guy who announced his death on wiki actually erased it 15 minutes later.

15 players is great but I'd love to see more. Yes, this is an appeal to the many people who read but don't play It's clear, though, that the 70s-90s games are the most popular (aside from Christmas; that was popping). Question is, is that for familiarity/demographic reasons or is it simply that music was just more appealing during those times?

Political Discussions And Ranting Thread
msc replied to Deathray's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
The weekend before the election, The Observer did a bunch of constituency polls, one of which showed Enfield Southgate as being only 3 points between Portillo and Twigg. This led to a vast influx of Labour volunteers to the seat on the final week. Anyhow, Portillo says he genuinely expected Paxman to bring this threat to his own seat up in their early discussion but Jeremy refused to. Even so, he thought it would be "worrisomely close" but not an actual defeat until he got to the count. In 2011, Ken Clarke did one of his Ken Clarke interviews (you know, drink in hand, no tact), and said he felt Hague had made the error of going to be elected leader a parliament too early, that he should have let Ken Clarke fail in the role in 97-01 and then take over when the shine fell off Blair. Now, Clarke would say that, and I think Hague had a bit of the Kinnock about him whenever he got elected as Tory leader, but in that same interview, Clarke suggested Ed Miliband had made the exact same error, and would have been better going for the Labour job in 2015-16 when the public would be more amenable to listening. Which also turned out true, though Labour's choice of Jeremy Corbyn somewhat negated any advances! Also, while I don't think WIlliam Hague was PM material, he looked like bloody MacMillan or Disraeli next to Iain Duncan bloody Smith! -

Super chill, empathetic guy who really liked Jews posthumously turns 135 today -
What really gets me about these particular photo ops is none of these privileged bastards would be anywhere near a tank, if you know, other armies were shooting at them.

Maxwell Azzarello, 37 A candidate for the Scrabble thread, methinks.

Archive.org has a copy.

Aye, maybe a bit subtle with the irony there by way of updating the thread to record the poor sod's death. Already seen some online banter about going straight to interring the ashes since the man himself thoughtfully arranged the cremation without stiffing his family with the costs!
-
Why would he? The guy was clearly not a fan of Trump (or the other guy for that matter).
-
That's probably my fault - is there a back-up somewhere?
