Thought it was a Winter Olympic thread

Snowing hard again in the S.E and I've been told off for quoting Robert Frost. I hope my children get stuck at school / college overnight. It'll do them a power of good. Builds character.

I am going to read his name as Ski Jumping forever now.

Well unlike you, Robert, that got old fast.

Always beena big fan of the winter games, including the ice stuff

that scooby doo was a good cartoon, this was a standout episode for me.

It was the end of the road for "Scotland's greatest ever ambassador", Sir Harry Lauder back in 1950, aged 79.

Need to put the above through a parent translator for Deathray: "She'd like to have a night to herself, for once, so c'mon the snow..."

I heard he has filled his cabinet with extremists

Fat fuck terrible movie director Kevin Smith had a "massive heart attack" last night and was apparently very close to death. Let's celebrate the man by remembering his finest contribution to the English language:

Due to go on tour later this year it has been announced.

It’s amazing what some people will post the day before Cup lineups are due. That said Sir Creep doesn't see it as an immediately pressing matter and isn’t using Ms. Frances. So sticking with the Home And Away theme, here is a new movie trailer for this year’s DP MVP, Jessica Falkholt.

Finally got around to picking the names and sent something in.

https:// Sean Connery was was so sexy back in the day. I still have a crush on him in his prime and frankly find pleasure and experience joy in thinking about him!

Never heard of him. Is he a country singer?

On the plus side the streets neighbouring can save a few bob on the heating bill with the radiator effect on that.

Here's a picture from the Leicester Mercury: Google Street View

The curtain closed for Tennessee Williams on this day 35 years ago, aged 71.

It's about two miles as the crow flies from me. Just heard about it on BBC News Channel. I'd guess it's a gas explosion.

The next total eclipse of the sun visible from my house will last for 2m 3s starting at 1821:25 hrs on 14th June 2151. Typical innit? I'm normally having me tea then. https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsearch/SEsearchmap.php?Ecl=21510614

Well, I sent something now since I know I'm going to be very busy for the next couple of days. This team definitely has a more conventional feel to it than last time, and I could maybe see one or two people being unique this time (but even then I suspect someone else would pick them). At least it looks much better on paper than my first round against Grim (no person with stage one cancer in remission picks). Good luck everyone...

Try google asking. It's probably your (only) friend.

Is that similar to prostate cancer?

Well done to the lions. From the BBC: A suspected big cat poacher has been eaten by lions near the Kruger National Park in South Africa, police say. The animals left little behind, but some body parts were found over the weekend at a game park near Hoedspruit. "It seems the victim was poaching in the game park when he was attacked and killed by lions," Limpopo police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe told AFP. "They ate his body, nearly all of it, and just left his head and some remains." Police have not yet established the victim's identity. A loaded hunting rifle and ammunition were found next to the body, South African website Eyewitness News reports.
