Ah. Post op.

I'm no good with demands from authority, really.

Says the guy who posts a lot about unknown university presidents and local politicians...

What about winners for Best Song, I cry?

Gordon Banks was on Radio 4 yesterday, hinted that FIFA and the FA may look at flying the surviving members of the squad who are able to go to Russia out. Interesting to think who of the squad could actually go? I count 6 of the 11 could attend? Gordon Banks George Cohen Jack Charlton Bobby Charlton Geoff Hurst Roger Hunt Martin Peters and Nobby Stiles would possibly be too ill (although not impossible) and Bobby Moore, Ray Wilson and Alan Ball are dead.

Cup Final worth 10 points. OK 6

Mature male offers to drink teenage boys urine. Why do I have to log out of here at times? There's solid gold posts at all hours of the clock.

So four years ago today, Tommy Ramone beat out his last. Is everyone who was in The Ramones dead now? Maybe Phantom or MPFC could assist.....? Thanks to Deathray for this message.

It wasn't and still isn't

Aye, I live in a tenement built at least 120 years ago. In Glasgow. I expect the walls are dripping with blood, historically speaking. I did once find out a Victorian funeral wake type thing complete with viewing of the deceased had happened in mum's house. As a history lover, she was v excited!

For completeness, all 13 members of the trapped football team were safely rescued from the cave, and no, the assistance of Gary Glitter was not required.

True.There are 4 older candidates still alive older than Graham and Carrington.Wouk has been on oxygen for at least a year now and Kirk Douglas has looked like death for years.Bush snr has had many health issues of late.McCain and Bracknell are clearly on their way outline Philip isn't about in public these days Stan Lee is clearly frail physically and mentally.Gascoine is by her husbands account in the final brutal stages of dementia.Philips has a long history of I'll health and is very old now.Harper has gone quiet now and James is defying the odds but has a multitude of health issues that make his chances of seeing the year out statistically low.Considering that and the age or frailty of the list I think the committee will do pretty well.Carrington was an outlier of current hits in that he wasn't known to be ill he was simply very old.Even if a couple of the over hundred brigade die this year along with Bracknell and McCain and two of the other names I mentioned plus a few other candidates die the committee will be near the top 5 highest scoring years.I don't think at this point the record will be hit or surpassed this year but there is a decent chance of 12_14 hits by the end of the year.

I can't help but wonder if he died yesterday while watching BBC news watching his party implode on itself.

Put one in at last, did they?

Today I went off the beaten track to lay flowers at my wee gran's resting place, almost exactly a year after she died. She was an old-fashioned lady. This was her favourite song.

Thought you were a new poster for a minute there...

Anyone fancies a quiet drive, this evening might be the night to do it. Roads expected to be quieter than Christmas Day from 7pm-9pm (possibly 10pm if it goes close). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44792984

Ah...dialectic - keep going SC!

I don't think Tom is going to make it. The Osmond brothers have been very lucky, statistically 1 in 5 men die before reaching 65 but all 9 siblings are still alive so an Osmond brother death is long overdue.

I reckon the committee should fill his space next year with Douglas Hurd.

Except Sheila Mercier James Lovelock Frances Crowe June Spencer Marge Champion Nehemiah Persoff Alun Gwyne Jones Mary Midgely Lawrence Ferlinghetti Jenny Welch and Anne Buydens.

"That's all, folks!" for Mel Blanc 29 years ago today, aged 81.

Me too.

These guys couldn't find a better time to bow out on a high note... In their lives, comic books have gone from niche to (financially) biggest creative force in the movie industry. Stan Lee is the Walt Disney of his generation.
