and the audience... every single face, extremely relatable

Look at what's below 20: the better of the two Kylie songs, an absolute banger by Kelis, the dulcet tones of CBR and cor blimey guvnah Kate Nash. I love this game and all the players but you're a bunch of perverts.

Is Philp too young to remember? Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in The Congo...not fucking Rwanda!

Bob Appleby (Hugmans) goalkeeper for Middlesbrough in the early 1960s, reportedly dead aged 84: https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/25/rest-in-peace--bob-appleby/ Dunno why some of these folk have no Wiki page.

The look on Wes Streeting's face.

If she dies while I'm still hosting the DDP, I'm so using this scene from her Columbo ep as the image headliner: I'd be a bit surprised if I write her obit though, despite her grand age.

Few rumours floating about that Yousaf might be stepping down. This guy in the comments isn’t convinced though so don’t quote me on this.

On this day 1 year ago, American singer known for "The Banana Boat Song", actor known for "Carmen Jones", and activist Harry Belafonte passed away at the age of 96 from congestive heart failure.

The gift that keeps on giving. Private Eye again.

Debbie Harry has really let herself go.

Cy Town is unlikely to be getting an obituary at this point, but just for the sake of completion when adding him to the LotL, the latest issue of Doctor Who magazine has given his date of death as March 26th.

Silverio Perez Rosado was born on 20 June 1914 in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and died in the same place, he was the oldest man in Puerto Rico, now he is Andres Irizarry Troche, born on 14 February 1915 in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico https://wapa.tv/noticias/entretenimiento/fallece-silverio-p-rez-rosado-padre-del-m-sico-y-comediante-silverio-p-rez/article_cf286682-02f9-11ef-8c54-e7032ecf0f53.html

Art Schallock is 100

Some of these bans are odd. I found I was banned when I went beyond 45 degrees South earlier in the year. Given than En Passant started a Gooseberry love-in I'd just like to say I'm a big fan of DL's own enema queen too

Anders Celsius died on this day 280 years ago, aged 42. - Celsius' family was full of scientists- his uncle Olof was a botanist, his paternal grandfather Magnus was a mathematician, and his maternal grandfather Anders Spole was an astronomer. His father Nils was also a professor of astronomy at Uppsala University, which he would attend- and also became an astronomy professor there in 1730. - Celsius had several feats in the realm of astronomy: he was the first person to link auroras with changes in the Earth's magnetic field (based on observations within a compass), and he participated in an expedition that proved the world was an ellipsoid and not a perfect sphere. - Celsius was most famous for his temperature scale, centigrade, which he proposed in 1742. It is now the dominant temperature scale in the world (three countries use Fahrenheit instead), and Celsius' name has been used interchangeably with 'centigrade'. - Celsius' young death was caused by a bout of tuberculosis.

Not a death anniversary as such, but I missed my own anniversary on death list. Twenty years ago on the 20th April 2004, I joined the death list. (Actually it was a bit earlier as I lurked for a couple of months before joining).

Apologies for being three days late but I only look at this thread occasionally. Can scarcely believe it’s been that long! Definitely one of the headline ‘2016 was cruel’ deaths. An absolute musical marvel obviously and his legacy will outlive all of us but he also sparked one of the funniest Twitter (RIP) moments of all time:

Surely the death of Hayden Gwynne is part of the decision

More likely simply it doesn't really feel like the time to make fun of a family while two of its principal members (and key characters in your show) are suffering from cancer. Not much humour to be found there.

Now. (For a week at least).

I'm going to be very careful as to what I write on here so as not to get anyone in trouble but I spoke to a senior journo over breakfast this morning – his source is impeccable. Really not good news about the king. May have a year left, 2 if he's lucky.

I updated pregnancy pool but Lea Michele is pregnant again.
