Brilliant work! Thank you. Would it be an idea to round up all these posts about the forum changes and move them to the Forum Upgrade thread? It's a more logical place to look if we want to check anything.

According to National Enquirer she has officially entered her Sad Last Days.

To which I say: did you see what breaking with tradition and adding in Sir Creep's 2016 team as "one of the contenders" last year did to his team? His Hits dried up practically overnight. Hmm, potential Pan Breed opposition, you say...

Good idea there, shall get that all wrangled up within the hour.

You can hover your cursor over the date and it'll display the exact time of the comment within a few seconds. Also - turns out removing likes from Activity Feed was rather easy. Did so just now.

I was kind of hoping someone else would do the traditional "fag packet aspergers" thing and do the 1am look at the folk picked by last years top ten. But here we are, nearly March, and nary a pip. So here's my half-assed shot at it last year for comparison. And here's my equally half-assed shot at it this year. TEN TEAMS Leah Bracknell Errol Christie Gord Downie NINE TEAMS Sara Coward EIGHT TEAMS Peter Skellern SEVEN TEAMS Steve Hewlett Colin Meads Stefan Karl John Wetton SIX TEAMS Rayya Elias Greg Gilbert Tracy McGiffin Simon Ricketts FIVE TEAMS Catherine Nevin Mark Sims Steve Sumner Joost van der Westhuizen FOUR TEAMS King Michael of Romania THREE TEAMS Paul Briggs Mario Soares Paul Van Zandvliet Charles Bradley Glen Campbell Ian St John TWO TEAMS Jay Clark Al-Baghdadi Tony Booth Lisa Magill Quincy Jones - alleged comedian John Bain Georgina Beyer Sasha Lakovic Jimmy Snuka Valery Spiridinov ONE TEAM, UNIQUE Susanne Cameron-Blackie Les Mutrie Steve Pollard Wayne Barrett ONE TEAM, NON-UNIQIUE Laurie Brokenshire Michael Perham Jagraj Singh Pete Frates Smith Hart Emma Houlston Craig MacGregor Clive James Vincent Lambert Eddie Long Julia Perez Alan Aspin Colin Butts Anna Holmlund Ben Suisala Jill Gascoine Rev Billy Graham John Stossel Patrick Cryne Bruce Forsyth Jerome Golmard Daisy Berkowitz DJ Casper Dmitri Hvorostovsky Connie Johnson Mao Kobayashi Sharon Laws Bruce Langhorne Salvatore Dimasi Sharon Rockefeller Randy Romero Bart Starr Nobby Stiles Marieke Vervoort

Confessedly can't take all the credit, Grim Reaper figured quite a few things out as well like how to return the "Who's Online" widgets. But still... it is a nice day in the Netherlands, just ignore that location in my sidebar...

Various reports online that Raymond Smullyan has died aged 97. So far all I can see is Twitter/Facebook posts from academics, no obituary yet but it appears he passed away yesterday. Edit: Here is an obituary.

This weeks prediction 1. Cosmo Haskard 2. Steve Hewlett 3. Omar Abdel-Rahman 4. Norma McCorvey 5. Kim jong-nam In no particular order.

Battered in Battery Park!

Newman is a possibility.

I'd be very surprised if Frank Delaney didn't make it. I'd suspect Skellern and Bruna would too, alongside possibly Norma McCorvey or Richard Pankhurst. But I'm not the producer of the show...

Donnie Brooks stopped singing on this day 10 years ago, aged 71.

10 years since the death of John Richie, aged 65. Candidates knowing how may goals he scored for Stoke may tip the balance today.

Weather here is beautiful. Record breaking weather - sixth day in a row of 65-70*. Everybody's at the parks, barbecuing, playing sports, etc. *Around 20 for y'all Celsius-ers.

@Toast So a tantrum smiley? Ask and you shall receive. And one more new smiley: Not going to go overboard with new smileys though, so that's likely it.

I cant just get my head around the fact that they left three children, all under the age of 5 alone in a hotel room in a foreign country.

Fats Domino

Betty White. She is an animal advocate, LGBT rights supporter and a longtime vegetarian. Seems like we have a lot in common...

Just to make the teens of the 1990s feel suddenly very old, Kurt Cobain would have been turning 50 today had he lived.

Rarely heard of him, but this comes up on Wikiquote: That, I like.

Well, going by that photo, she's clearly not permanently consigned to a wheelchair. That's just one of those functional wheelchairs for the temporarily incapacitated, or other one-off use. I'm hoping she was just taking the weight off her feet because being Japanese, she's scheduled to appear on my DDP list somewhere circa 2036.

DAE want to push those damn glasses up her nose?
