Surely the voting for this thread should change from countries of the world to states of the USA?

There is no gun control debate in America, nor will there be. As soon as it was decided that the killing of weans (ie Sandy Hook) was more acceptable than gun checks, it was game over.

You can go and poke 14th February up your arris. 14th March is the one to look forward to. (If that date doesn't ring a bell, this is what you've missed out on)

I guess he lived long enough to see his arch-enemy deposed, at least. Though by then he must have known he wasn't well enough to make a leadership challenge of his own. RIP and hopefully Bob won't be far behind.

IDK. Browsing through his Wikipedia page, the guy was a really pretentious jerk. All he cared about were titles and his place in the pecking order, throwing a tantrum and running abroad when his son (not him) was asked to host an event on behalf of the queen, loudly complaining that he was never given the title of "king" etc. He even refused to be buried with his wife because of that, in spite of the fact that the husband of a queen regnant is (and was) called a prince consort practically everywhere; except perhaps in some backward countries centuries ago where/when women weren't considered fit to rule (cf. Salic law).

How's this going Joey? I make it a rather modest 20 posts for you yesterday.......seems in your self imposed post wilderness that temptation is winning at the moment and it's only day 1, 39 day and nights to go!

Yep. But it’s ok Congress are sending thoughts and prayers.

I'm a bit lost in this but I'm anti anycunto who wants to separate me from coffee

Seeing as you have the avatar I find most attractive (Bladan being at other end of the list) here's my tale of success. Apologies for the initial excessive detail. Back in 1990 I had fancied this girl from work for about a year but initially we had both been going out with somebody else (and I was pretty sure she didn't fancy me) - anyhow in October/Nov 89 my girlfriend of 2 years dumped me leaving me feeling a bit low and then in December the girl I fancied copped off with one of my friends in front of me which ended her existing relationship and she started going out with my friend plunging me into a new low. Luckily for me in late Jan/early Feb my friend decided to go back to his previous girlfriend leaving the way clear for me. But at this stage of course I didn't really have high hopes that I was on her radar. Anyhow on 11th February 1990 the Sunday Times had an article in it (related to Valentine's Day) with a large diagram showing the internal parts of a heart. This gave me an idea and I decided to go for it. So I went out on Monday and bought some white card, cut out the internal heart diagram from the magazine and stuck it on the front of the card (the card was maybe a foot tall). Then I wrote on the front above the heart 'Valentine..' and inside the card '..you've captured my heart, With love ?' On the Wednesday morning at 6am I got up and drove round to her house and left the card in the front porch, I had forgotten the dog so it was not the silent arrival and departure I had hoped for but nevertheless I got away before anyone saw me. Later that day she asked me if it was me, I said yes and would she like to go out on Sunday, we got married in 1992, and are still married today with three beautiful adult daughters.

I am more surprised when someone dies of cancer and Tierney misses them tbh.

Still sponge-worthy...

I don't know how to respond that article. It disappoints me that someone actually wrote that and thought it was a good idea to include their name and picture to it as if they were proud of it. He should be ashamed, the tone of that whole piece is genuinely disappointing.

My team take wearily to the field. Pope Benedict is frail, not enough for a boot up the park, but frail enough to let in a goal. Doddy's poking away Tajima with his tickling stick and Greavesy is sitting the month out on the basis he's getting a testimonial in next year's Cup. My defence looks stout...too bloody stout...

Yes and Tom Petty is still alive fighting for his life.

Spurs did no bad last night, but Liverpool have torn Porto to shreds there, 5-0. Their record defeat at home in Europe was the 3-1 from Besiktas last year before tonight!

So in the space of a day, 2/5 of my preliminary March team is gone before I could reap the rewards. And I've lost the lead now to Sean. Poo, bum, piss and cock.

Strange how the committee were almost alone in correctly calling Mark E Smith yet left such an obvious candidate off the list.

Reuters Africa tweeting it as well

I believe that these following former heads of state should be added to the list next year: Giorgio Napolitano and Mahathir Mohamad (born 1925), Nuon Chea and Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah (born 1926), Imelda Marcos (born 1929) and Carlos Menem (born 1930) Incredible is that they are all in advanced ages and are still alive today.

I'll def be entering as well, still gotta do a bit more research.

How deep are your pockets for your first telescope? What are you prepared to pay for something that you might put in the back of the garage after the novelty has worn off? Give me a ballpark figure. P.S. If it's under $700 then I recommend: https://www.meade.com/www-meade-com-products-telescopes-etx-125-observer-etx-125-observer-html.html

Six men but no Chesters (to my knowledge) were United in the belief Liam Miller's youth and fitness were enough to defy the grim statistics of pancreatic cancer and scrape by into next year. They'll now be Celtic-ed off as Miller's Hibern(at)ian plunges them into a dire land. As the vast majority of teams steered clear, we're still nowhere near a clear Leed-er. =1. Bentrovato 0 =1.
