Is this really fucking necessary?

Yeah... Something like "I don't want Trump at my funeral either".....

Last time I looked Melvyn Bragg had a fairly substantial property in Hampstead. Allowed in and allowed to buy a bit Negotiations continue to admit a few soft southern types to Maryport (I'll keep you posted)

Best death immediately following a comeback gig since this lad

Can someone please tell me how she is still alive? It’s been like 19 months now. The average life expectancy with people with lung cancer is 6 to 12 months.

Oh my word, that’s shocking! It’s as though he’s aged 10 years.......!!

Smokin'!

Hey you numbnuts Overton has his own thread, I saw to it. Use it. SC

gilles villeneuve quit advertising shit and pumping carbon into the atmosphere 36 years ago, aged 32.

Absolutely shocked at the news of the death of singer Maurane. It's only just been announced so no details of cause of death yet. I can't see her getting a UK obit but she was very well known in Belgium and France. If you can, check out the film Palais Royale which, seeing as it was a co-production with Film 4, it's surprising it's not turned up on UK screens, where she has an amusing cameo as Elton John (if you've seen the film you'll get that). I have kissed a toy bunny that Maurane had also manhandled but that's a story for another time...

Eddy Arnold made his world go away after this day 10 years ago, aged 89.

Was expecting her death being announced due to YoungWilz being the most recent poster in a thread that hasn't been brought up in a while tbh.

Yes, Overton is close to his 112th birthday, so he very likely is the oldest passenger ever.

Why didn’t she just sit in her fekkin seat?

McCain had several issues though. He was a Republican who had, along with Bush Jnr, put the USA 10 trillion in debt. He then wanted to put the USA further in debt by buying up the sub-prime mortgages. His answer to getting out of that debt was to make the American people work harder. Particularly Joe The Plumber. To make up for the bankers fucking the country. (See David Cameron and Theresa May's policies - yes, the British are much more prone to self-flagellation). Rescue packages for the banks and Wall Street were being paid for junkets and bonuses. The American people were as I understand it sometimes working two or three jobs just to get by, and were now in danger of losing their homes and businesses. Things had to drastically change. McCain might actually have won against Hillary, even with that sordid message on the economy.

Update

5 years is a fucking long time tho deathers. Beatles went from bowl haircuts and court suits to tripping out their tits on acid. Clash majorly changed style. U2 went from punky to absolute wank stadium band. Simple Minds ditto. The Jam went from a punk first album to Weller being the Modfather + Style Council. 5 years, is a looooong time boyo.

"If he does attend, it is likely that he will be forced to do so with crutches or a walking stick." If that doesn't work, they might have to try an electric cattle prod.

Hypothetically.... if I got the site redesigned top-to-tail, made it database-run and with a CMS-based front-end (I think those are the right words), how many people hereabouts would be interested in throwing a tenner into the pot so some guy hired off Updesk from Pakistan or the Ukraine could get the job done?

Took a snapshot of the first time that I went on top today in the DDP...

Columbia's FARC boss Rodrigo Londono quits the presidential race because of heart problems: https://in.reuters.com/article/colombia-peace-vote/corrected-colombias-farc-candidate-out-of-presidential-race-due-to-ill-health-idINKCN1GK1YZ He also has "a pulmonary sickness and an obstructed cerebral artery". Is he going for the stroke/heart attack/pneunomia triple?

I know I already made a poll for this back in January, but I feel as since then the competition field has shifted since then. New teams that weren’t on the last poll has become contenders while a few teams probably won’t win. This time, I included the current top ten plus the most recent members of the top ten in gcreptile’s exercise and a few others that I think still has a chance. Recently, I think Pity Da Foolz team looks a lot stronger than he did back in January, so I’m going to choose him.
