There was a Karunanidhi/Tiwari-shaped hole in our hearts that needed to be filled.

Yes but the plane had not took off yet, so he's fine.

As it came from Space this counts and is quite important in the historical scheme of things. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/massive-crater-under-greenland-s-ice-points-climate-altering-impact-time-humans

Sad news. Dependable regular on TV for ages.

Their gigs/shows/concerts/performances/recitals/do something funs are selling out worldwide. http://www.gretavanfleet.com/tour

I'd say anyone with 5 episodes or more under their belt is the main cast. With John's death that's 4/9 of the main cast dead.The other 5 all being fairly old.

Sorry what? In the context of this thread it's exactly the right word, I wouldn't say "I went to the Lee Mac's do something fun at the Apollo last night" or "I'm thinking of buying tickets to Parkway Drive's do something fun at the Apollo in January" - because I'd sound like a moron. gig a live performance by a musician or group playing popular or jazz music.

He's got a dead before 50 feel about him.

No. Legalise the lot. The harm done by the pursuit of 'illegal' drug taking is worse than the 'taking' of those drugs. Convince me otherwise chap.

Society, and the laws enacted by it are *supposed* to benefit the majority of members. Drug laws as they stand, in my view, do not. Simplistic as that may be. Agree or not, you are worth arguing with Sharon. ; )

Trouble is mate, whilst you and I agree on a number of things , this isn't one (it appears). I don't use drugs aside from alcohol, caffeine and nicotine (passim from fags, now a vape). However, in my view the harm done to society in general by the pursuit of 'illegal' drug users by plod (and by definition parliament that makes the laws) outweighs the harm done by individuals *to themselves* taking said drugs. All the violence, locked up dealers, locked up users etc...would disappear overnight. Do I think people should take drugs? Probably not. Do I think their criminalisation causes WAY more problems than it solves? You betcha. And that's kind of the point. I don't get locked up for 3 drugs, mentioned above, but other drugs, they're all derived from plants... who decides?

I agree with LFN. Legalise it, tax it, solve a crime issue and create an income generator in one move.

I am actually in favour of legalising cannabis, I'm actually leaning towards the legalisation and government control/ cultivating of all drugs. It will completely destroy the drugs trade and drug barons overnight. Possibly.

So mind changed then.......

Any Ah, the naivety delusion of believing that turning eighteen some how makes you an adult. While I'm here. Can I get my tag-line changed to "How the fuck am I not perma-banned?"

Aye. Heard it

Guyana isn't in Africa; it's in South America.

TUNE.

Not sure how reliable the source is, but it does look fairly cast iron. John Bluthal has reportedly died: https://tvtonight.com.au/2018/11/vale-john-bluthal.html Q with Spike Milligan, Help with The Beatles, Benny Hill, Kenny Everett, etc etc. Not just a Pickle. If this is true, this is sad news. Also a pick for me in the Hares Pool.

I hate anything which is branded as a gig you do something fun or you don't if you feel the need to use the word gig it probably means you have not enjoyed something as much as you thought you should have and yet you feel the need to show it off to the world
