Nursing home fees don't pay themselves.

Some random trivia for you. I was curious to see what percentage of people had known only one monarch in their lives. Here are some very rough figures that give an approximation. As of today, the Queen's been reigning 66 years and 209 days. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, on June 30 2016 (when the Queen had reigned 64 years and 4 months), 15.3% of Aussies were aged 65 and over, so 84.7% have only known one monarch. http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Previousproducts/3101.0Feature Article1Jun 2016 Also as of 2016, 18% of Brits were aged 65 and over so roughly 82% have only known one monarch. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/articles/overviewoftheukpopulation/july2017 Of course, this doesn't account for all the people who have died in the last two years, etc, but it gives a bit of an idea.

MOI?

You could be wrong, you could be right.....

*forum in-joke* *checks Wiki* Nah, apparently Lydon was raised Roman Catholic as a wean. *takes off shortlist*

Yep, that sort of thing.

Ken Norton was counted out on this day 5 years ago, aged 70.

Gord Downie of Tragically Hip and his tribute act Darren Sawchuk. Downie got obits across the board here as Hip were one of those cult overseas acts (obv fucking massive in Canada though). Sawchuk got fuck all. Because he wasn't. (Also because the idiot died in February...)

It's called irony, SC...

Look someone has turned their 2019 Research notes into a fundraising event

Something is smellier than a tramps knackers.

One of the things about surefire Deathlist pick in waiting Bernard Cribbins is the thought that there's a distinct possibility that pretty much every Brit on this forum either watched him in something as a kid or was aware of something he was in like Jackanory or The Wombles or what not. Come to think of it, Dick van Dyke might be the same with that film for a vast chunk of us*. (*Even if as a kid and adult I vastly preferred Bedknobs and Broomsticks - get Angela back on the list, you guys. #fruitless message to Cmme ends...)

I'm Peter Falk.

He's a Basildon boy, if anycunto would recognise a fraud it'd be him..... * not saying you're Z, not clever enough.

One of the names my mum wanted for me, along with Jolene and Meryl which makes me realise that ,however much I dislike my name, it could have been worse.

When did people stop being "very excited about" things and become "super excited for" them?

As soon as I saw I'm like....didn't the owner already.... Crazy coincidental deaths. Who's next? How about a Calgary Flames DDP theme team 'Flaming Out'.

Completely misread that as "all trains" ie Thomas, Percy, the Flying Scotsman, Ivor and so on...

Sir Creep has been chastised for speaking of himself in third person, leaving SC wondering what the problem is? Put him on the list.

She’s basically what Julie Burchill (who I also can’t stand and will probably die before long ) was to the previous generation, a provocateur with a big gob but nothing of value to say

Marc Bolan, off of T. Rex, became extinct on this day 41 years ago, aged 29.

I didn't know about that; now I do. R.I.P. Zienia .

Dead. Too bad he never made the list.
