You may find it ironic that I had to look up 'twig' as a verb.

No more, Butchie. No more of this. Frank Vincent went home and got his fucking shinebox one year ago today.

So Florence has weakened to Cat2 with the storm surge now the worry. Gather Peter Faulk is there on holiday

Johnny Cash wore a black suit 15 years ago today, aged 71.

I thought you had the exclusive on Seseame Street images.

Aye.

So much Botox in his bonce that the clues are limited

Tupac Shakur rapped his last verse on this day 22 years ago, aged 25.

Looked like the kind of smug twat who just wouldn’t have been able to stop himself giving it the “do you know who I am ?” bit.

People with internet..... New phone is only 8 months old, and I have not moved any music on to it at all. Rather stick on World Service if in internet range. Sad to say but I cannot be fucked with music much anymore, yet I'd stick £20 in a juke box whilst earning £150 a week back in the day. Its a cunt getting old, yet 'liberating'.

Tommy Armour turned in his final scorecard 50 years ago (71).

Raymond 'Perry Mason/Ironside' Burr, still great tv shows till this day. 25 years ago (76)

Victor Wong, who played the grandpa in Three Ninjas died today in 2001. He stayed up all night to watch news coverage of the 9/11 attacks and had a heart attack.

The classic problem with Brexit's appeal to many there - it's about an emotional appeal to go to war with a "malevolent, spiteful" foreign bogeyman. Nevermind that the problems blamed on the EU are generally homegrown in origin (austerity, anyone?), this paranoid fantasy dominates the narrative from the hard brexiteers.

John Ritter wouldn't have anymore company after this day 15 years ago, aged 54.

28 girlfriends is the number you get if you include all the flings he had in the 60s and 70s before he married Dierdre and after he was married to Valerie. Many of these would struggle to be classed as "girlfriends" in modern parlance and some of them including outright rejections. That 28 number goes up to 2012 and if we're including flings then his brief attempt at courting Audrey would bring us to at least 29 as she was reciprocal to the feelings but they left it mutually.

Mohamed Atta, victim of aviation disaster 17 years ago

The last part of this imitation was not convincing. It's not in the character, you know.

N is for Nawaz. Kulsoom Nawaz. Born 1950 fwiw Phantom otm, SirC, Clorox, all get N hits. K is also for Kulsoom......Kulsoom Nawaz -- a solo K hit for Joey.

Former Rabbit Hash Mayor Lucy Lou has died. The red and white border collie who served in office from 2008 to 2016 died Sept. 10. She was 12. Lucy Lou lived her entire life in Rabbit Hash. Since her political career took off Lucy Lou attended many charity events and served as spokespet for a women’s crisis center. Her term as mayor ended earlier than planned in 2016 when she voluntarily left office in order to help her hometown raise funds to rebuild the Rabbit Hash General Store. The 1831 historic building was destroyed by fire in February 2016. With the help of Lucy Lou and others, the Rabbit Hash Historical Society was able to rebuild and reopen the landmark within a year.
