Godammit I thought for a moment we'd got our #11 already

Leave Mr. President alone, I think he looks great and happy. Less purple and with none of that last few months painful grin too. Also, why does Barbara Bush always wear the same sweater? Who does she think she is? Marge Simpson?

My face when I heard of the Court decision.

"Make it" as in still being alive when it happens, perhaps, "make it" as in appearing in person at the wedding, (which I assume is what Shaun was getting at) certainly not.

Maybe he wants to smile at the camera.

Mister Langerock. - huh? *leans in closer* -Your Brother... -huh? *gets right in his ear* MISTER LANGEROCK CAN YOU HEAR ME. *nods* MISTER LANGEROCK, YOUR BROTHER IS ABOUT TO DIE! (dying brother) 'huh?'

Tony Booth. Backed up by no evidence whatsoever. It works for Nigel Lawson!

Legally speaking, he can't Pence is elected, not appointed like the rest of them. There are four obvious routes out of the job. He could be impeached, resign, become president or lose at the next election. Route five; death, might be our business here but Pence is showing no signs of obliging us, yet.

I tended to prefer to go to Wyndham and John Christopher for my post-apocalyptic British fiction.

Happy 78th birthday, Valerie Harper! A few hours early, though...

This is a few hours early, but... Happy 92nd birthday, Honor Blackman!

I'm not really a sci-fi man, but Aldiss' Super-Toys Last All Summer Long and Other Stories of Future Time was actually a very good read. I tackled it a few years ago when I was going through my post-apocalyptic fiction phase.

Doesn't look bad in this photo watching the eclipse, besides the blanket over him...

After the death of Yisrael Kristal, oldest man alive is now Francisco Nunez Oliveira, a Spanish Civil War veteran, aged 112: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Spanish_supercentenarians#Francisco_N.C3.BA.C3.B1ez_Olivera He had his kidney removed at 90.

Fuck haha. My knowledge of what he designed was pretty much absent outside of the bubble dress but after seeing those monstrosities, I really think it was better off that way. Seriously, I don't think he was interesting in living to his 90s, I think he was interested in living in the 90s

I think this years list is bound to finally break the all time record of 14. There's just too many oldies clinging on and too many from the top half .If it doesn't happen this year it never will ! This is a bit anorakish but I've worked out that the biggest deficit of bottom half hits to top half hits is -2, in 2008 when there were 6 top half and 8 bottom half hits,and in1999 when there were 4 from the top and 6 from the bottom. There have only ever been 6 years (out of 29) that have ended with more hits from the botton half than the top. This year it's currently -8 (1 from the top, 9 from the bottom) so s urely there has to be a whole lot of top half hits by years end !

Leslie Crowther was a man.

This seems like a perfect time to post Bruce's HIGNIFY guest host slots. Very amusing.

Well... funny.... thing.... about... that. I....am....reminded....of....the.....fact....that....the...answer....is.....No. Not enough pauses there, sorry.

Sometimes bits of a persons Wiki just stand out at you.

Thanks smokers! This shits me. Stop being mean to smokers, give them a hug, shake their hands and thank them for paying tons of extra tax and dying early.
