60 today. How the fuck did I manage that?

This is probably entirely unfair but thanks to the tabloids Les Dennis was definitely more amusing to me as part of a double act, it's just that it wasn't with Dustin Gee it was Amanda Holden.

Dec could just carry on as a solo compere, or go back to acting. Les Dennis did that after the untimely death of Dustin Gee, to the point where most people have forgotten (or never knew) that he came to fame as part of a double act.

Happy Birthday youngster!

Happy birthday You can get a rail card again now

Happy birthday! I'd ask if that made you the Father of the House, but then some sod would point out that's for continuous service, not age.

Rowenna Erickson — a former plural wife who co-founded what for a time was Utah’s most outspoken anti-polygamy organization, Tapestry Against Polygamy— died Jan. 27 in Taylorsville. She was 78. Tina Bessey, Erickson’s daughter, said on Monday her mother had suffered from Alzheimer’s and died at a care center. Erickson and other former plural wives, including Lillian Bowles and Vicky Prunty, were among the women who founded Tapestry Against Polygamy in 1998. They cited their own experiences as examples of what was wrong with the lifestyle. The word “Tapestry” was placed in the name to denote what the founders considered a mosaic of harsh stories woven around one theme — polygamy. SC

I still can't fathom why it was deleted, seemed perfectly suited.

RIP General Tetchy Thread. It lasted... 32 minutes? Not bad going. It disappeared faster than the people in the background of pre-Purge photos of Stalin.

Den Schlippenschlappenschittenschiffter - Windscreen Wipers. Ok, that's made up. But it could have been. More seriously, I only recently discovered the word epicaricacy which apparently is the English for schadenfreude (and obviously instantly forgot it again and had to look it up to post it here). Quite why we have adopted the German version over the native I'm unsure (as is the spell checker since it accepts the German but throws a wobbly over the English). There's a halfway decent theory on quora which includes this:- "If you use the word Schadenfreude, everyone knows what you mean. If you use the word epicaricacy, no one knows what you mean and everyone thinks you're a pretentious tool." Which seems reasonable enough.
