Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. It's like the practice for the SAT itself, which is required for admission to any college or university worth attending in the US. The scores are also used to award National Merit Scholarships. The car is a Passat.

I have no idea, I'm too busy sipping rum at 8 AM. Cheers!

He's suffering with haemorrhoids then?

George HW Bush - a massive clean out of deathlist picks, no world leaders yet though

Bob Dole. I've a feeling that his recent stay in hospital and his subsequent return home is about allowing him to die peacefully at home. He really does look quite frail in the picture posted once he was back home.

17 for 17 leslie Philips

Simeon II of Bulgaria as interesting one; given he became republican PM of Bulgaria long after being overthrown.

No, I'm not going to ask what a PSAT is because I do not care. Mind you, our Irish members will probably tell you its a medium sized family car made by VW.

I'm sure he's fully rehabilitated himself by now. It was just the folly of youth!

The thing about Trump is that he’s very much hated by about 70% of the population. I think Trump will cling on to the drop 40 until he leaves office because of how hated he is worldwide...

Aw, that's sad. Good obituary though, I didn't realise the Opies weren't university academics at all, instead they just dedicated their lives to research because they were so fascinated by their subject matter.

Iona Opie has died. Guardian Obit: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/oct/25/iona-opie-obituary

The poll says who will be the 16th death and the thread title says 17th death.

Nobby Stiles.

Yep, that was fun! Edit: I don't know, the last time, we were at your town, this time we were in mine. Next time maybe neutral ground?

Fats Dominate

Our little DL-Convention No. 2, this time in the hot city of Berlin on October 21st, 2017. Best weekend of the year!

Went to the Nou Camp on Saturday night to watch Barcelona play malaga. The game was average, but the highlight was my son asking a food vendor for chips and a burger. He was offered a tuna baguette by way of a substitute by the puzzled local. My lad has a lot to learn about cultural differences

No shit Sherlock.

Fats flat.

No, you misread the post. It says Brian cancer. Totally different thing. It’s the cancer that attacks your most vital organ near your arse. Surprised you never heard of it...

Easy mistake to make in a sperm bank

Cultural highlight of the year.
