I am translating that as "I am really, really young and you are all really, really old and I am going to rub your noses in it" Do you still have an afternoon nap?

Thatcher, just wanted to say I appreciate the effort you put into your posts. Didn't want you to think it goes unnoticed or unappreciated. SC

See, Joey, this is where I'd have every right to use the Clive Dunn emoticon (posting the news in the correct thread an hour ago), but restraint is key.

Made it but fucking shattered, so a few drinks afew bets then a well earned sleep. Paul Mrs OSP's cousin has met us here and he says the oxygen thing is true lol

I agree. I mean how many rockers are near centenarians? Another excellent rock pick: Big Jay McNeely. The man most responsible for the wild acrobatic instrumental showman in rock, McNeely's shows featured him walking along the bar, lying on his back, and bent over backwards while playing his tenor sax, hitting squealing high notes and guttural low notes and giving birth to the idea of rock as performance art capable of extracting extreme sentiments and reactions from the audience. This was decades before the acrobatics of Hendrix, Townshend and Angus Young. "The Deacon's Hop" remains one of rock 'n' roll's most influential records and he continued successfully into the late 50's and is still playing and wowing audiences in his retirement years to this day. Of all of the horn players of rock’s first golden age McNeely is the last man standing, as he came out of retirement in later years playing well-received shows as he hit 90 years old with new records coming out periodically to remind one and all of his importance in rock’s rise and subsequent takeover of popular culture. Dear Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Committee: Please put this giant in while he's still on this earth to accept the honor he's so rightly due.

It was either his way or Zimbabwe.

Ah, a pretty short sentence then..

Not really. He was a massively popular teen idol in the UK in the early 1970s, along with Donny Osmond. The influence was still there in the 90s.

Michael Hutchence would not have any new sensation after this day 20 years ago, aged 37.

He certainly had a heavy impact on one British fan.

Cunt would do it then, wouldn't he? I never ever want to see Liverpool face that fucking team ever again as long as I live. They're Wimbledon '88, Arsenal '89 and Fergie's United in '99 in triplicate and a cherry on top. It would have helped matters enormously if Klopp hadn't insisted on playing that arch traitor the Thal Spy, Ronson Moreno again....

RIP. Very sad indeed.

Not sure if this been posted before, or if it's bleak or funny or both. http://bullseyecontestants.tumblr.com/

Did I? Boo. Never mind, there's well over a month for all the rest to oblige.

Finally, a post-Brexit trading partner for the UK!

Awesome!! And people outside of these forums think we're just a bunch of ignorant sickos

Off to Vegas in the morning for Mrs OSP's 40th, not looking forward to the journey prob be 30 hours before I get any more sleep!

Not dead yet, but too good not to share: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/11/15/american-heart-association-president-has-heart-attack/?utm_term=.d3c2ab7f3b26 American Heart Association President John Warner has a heart attack during a speech on the heart ailments of his family.

Manson is not particularly important to me. His death is easily eclipsed by Novotna's, especially as I didn't know she was ill.

I couldn't have put it better

Korean Billy speaks properly at last

Gone to Pot, is on ITV, next Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 9pm on each of those nights, apparently. It has Biggins and Fash the Bash on it too, apparently.

Although not on the list, I think this is a suitable place for her - Kate Millett, a feminist author and activist, has died aged 82. She is best known for her book Sexual Politics (Guardian review), released in 1969. She was prominent in the second wave feminist and civil rights movements, and received a Guardian profile.
