Stolen from twitter, no idea who made it.

Last night I had a dream. The Reaper was talking to me: Reaper: Tomorrow a former General Secretary of UN is gonna die. Me: Yess! R: Kofi Annan Me: D'Oh!

Politicians and diapers have one thing in common: they should both be changed regularly… and for the same reason.

Currently wearing trainers so no polish required but truly appreciate the post!

Moses Ali, First Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda, is almost 80 and morbidly obese. One to keep an eye on. He was brought to my attention by this spectacular video from 2 days ago.

Nakadai was the lead of a film that won a Bafta,Oscar and Cannes Kishi is a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador I think both would be 80-90% certain to get DDP Obits Misako Watanabe is a bit of a punt,obit chances dependent on the Guardian having a writer on staff the week she passes being a fan of the Yakuza Film "Youth Of The Beast".Not entirely impossible because The Guardian had multiple articles on the Director Seijun Suzuki the decade before he passed. That said a Japanese person in their mid 80's is like 70 for everyone else, so I would be shocked if any of them died soon

Brooks didn't even make my team

I guarantee, 3 black folk die every week.

Hmmmm. Don't know if posted already, but this thread is suitable for a few tofu eating cycling cunts. Possible nominees in posterity. Cycle through ISIS territory in the name of peace, and get whacked Excellent. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/blogs/tim-blair/universal-love-theory-tested-and-disproved/news-story/8ab011cbaccc288c4ea4cca4b096ddbf?nk=f20343d5c7ccfb76f9476a35c8345b05-1534408349

It's Central London. Breathing in the view is probably what gave her lung cancer.

You are to be tried in a kangaroo court for saying that.

Not sure this is the right thread, but, between us, we will have come up with 100,000 extra-curricular posts very shortly. Currently on 99,961 not out. Congratulations everybody!

I recommend his short stories, often brilliant, and Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich (a novel), in this order. Some of his novels,especially the late ones, are boring.

Congratulations to @Thatcher and @Whitehouse for reaching 1000 posts on the same day!

That's where you went wrong smoking is awesome.

Gyms. Having stopped smoking (again) and in a vain attempt to stop inhaling chocolate as substitute- I joined local gym. I hate it. Mind you I must be the only person exercising this morning listening to the Archers Ominbus ☺️

Choreographic disaster

Ah, one of the hundreds of forgotten names... but here a quite recent update: https://www.bbc.com/sport/sailing/44417028 "Not quite out of the woods yet", his first year was particularly difficult. But plans on coaching future olympic champions. Edit: I guess he would have been dead by now, if this had happened, say 20 or even just 10 years ago, but treatment is getting better.

No, as someone who is witnessing first hand the effects of juvenile delinquency I can tell you corporations and globalisation is not to blame. The real issue is too many parents let their kids run wild and do whatever the hell they want without any guidance or discipline. This kids grow up with no sense of a work ethnic or discipline and thus turn to crime to pass the crime. The worst part is they can befriend kids without these problems and make them delinquents as well and becuase of that I now have a 12 year old brother who drinks, smokes and likely does weed. My parents are decent but seem too hesitant to put their foots down with him and often let him off to his own devices.

Kidz dint 'av nottin t' do, in it bruv? * whilst flash cars, upple I phone 'n charlie. ** fuck sakes, never knew any cunt that took a line when I a boy. Now its a blizzard for 18/19 year olds in the pub. And they chew their face off for a couple of quid. Lazy workshy scum, 80% parents fault, 5% schools fault, 5% TVs fault and 10% those in Powers fault. We need another WW2/ Spanish Flu situation to thin out the chaff. * benefit, those that survive would afford a house.....

Cuts to police and social care, education, drug and alcohol services, and increasing burdens on a financially strapped NHS that doesn't have enough beds or staff for our aging population are definitely part of it. I don't think that more incarceration is the answer, however, since that's already at a record high. Meanwhile, in the broader picture, homicide and suicide rates are up across many western countries, from the UK to the USA and beyond, as are accidental overdose deaths. One of a few reasons why life expectancy is peaking. We live in a time of wondrous toys and gadgets; of increasing acceptance of the diverse nature of humankind; of increasing connectivity between all parts of the world; all these wonderful things, and yet people are in despair. EDIT: there was also a good debate on radio 4 this morning that raised some further decent points. There's a massive financial incentive for gang-related crime with the scale of the drugs market, cocaine in particular (£11 billion for this in the UK). We're seeing increasingly unrestrained, rage-driven debate in public fora, including social media, that legitimises picking fights over stupid things. And nobody at a national level is doing anything about it; the focus is all on Brexit and Russia right now.

I think the BBC reported that the violent crime rate was "still lower than it was in the mid-1990s". That means they had to go that far back to make the comparison. By the mid-1990s, the Tories had been in power for 16 years. They've only been in for 8 this time and they're already seeing a repeat of what happened (albeit at a faster rate). Unsurprising when investment in public services, schools, the NHS, the police, etc etc are all cut in real terms while we dole out the cash to girl groups in Ethiopia. Add to that the despair of no career prospects, the lack of affordable and social housing, drugs and other addictions not used recreationally but to escape from a horrid life, the increasing abuse of people from non-white backgrounds whipped up by a Government who says you are unpatriotic if you don't agree with their autocratic use of power and bob's your uncle. Keep telling people working two or three jobs to make a real living wage that we have a strong economy and there are tipping points. This isn't a manifesto for Labour, btw, they only get into power now if they look pale blue...and that just won't solve the issues. Seen it all before, it'll only dawn on these fuckers when they are lying in a hospital corridor on a trolley holding a Starbucks for comfort and dying of a curable condition.....

Did Hepton get fully snubbed? That's shocking given the names on offer of late.

I know. Fucking loved it. But my heart didn’t
