drol - I don't know if pitting the two despots vs each other was wise, that round alone could take the better part of a decade.

Thought I'd share some moments from a gig I went to last night. The Kieran Poole Show is a good idea (plays pubs in the arse-end of the south east, combines comedians and has a general theme of exploring the shittest jobs anyone's ever done): https://www.facebook.com/TheKieranPooleShow/ Top gag last night was one comedian kidding on he hid his comedy career from his mum and pretended he was going out on a date. When she asked who he was seeing he said "I have a date with destiny" the punchline being..."that's when I realised my mother is a racist!" A few other gags from Mike Kelson were so old school they were back in Bernard Manning territory, one about converting a lesbian by taking her to Twickenham and kicking her over the posts being par for the course. Another one revolved around a girl with massive breasts getting hurt by falling through a glass table - the punchline being "I said 'You've got a nasty gash' and she said 'with tits the size of these people don't usually notice it" Then he told one about a catholic priest who won a bucking bronco competition largely because his favourite choir boy was an epileptic!

Youtube tribute to George A. Cooper

most films are not worth watching I would lose count if I had to keep track of every shit film

Betty (Flanagan) Bumpers, first lady of Arkansas from 1971 to 1975 and a childhood immunizations activist has died aged 93, from complications of dementia and a broken hip. She was the spouse of former US Senator for Arkansas, Dale Bumpers, who also died from Alzheimers in 2016. Funnily(?) enough, he also had a broken hip around the time he died.

Hold on. Deathray isn't your real name? FTR, my sister put together music theme parties where whoever hosted the party had to make a CD based on a theme, copies of which would be passed out to attendees. After wine, whiskey and hors d'oeuvres, the CD would be played and we would have to guess the theme. Fatefully it only lasted about 4 or 5 parties cuz it was hard to get a pile of adults together on the same evening. But is was a grand idea. So with that...... I'm in. SirC

Been thinking. Maybe someone could open a thread for Jean Louis Trintignant v Dave Lee Travis. A sort of JLT vs DLT....

Perennial Mississippi candidate Shawn O'Hara dead at 60: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/mississippi/articles/2018-11-23/shawn-ohara-perennial-candidate-in-mississippi-dies-at-60 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_O'Hara He was a candidate for the Democrats and the Reform Party, for mayor, senator, governor, senator, treasurer, attorney general, auditor and lieutenant governor, sometimes for all at once. His platform was pro-Confederacy, pro-marihuana, lower gas prices, and some other minor issues. His second claim to fame was that he was perennially being not-Jean Louis Trintignant.

Ok, I'm so fed up with this immortal people out of there that I decided to do a sort of tournament between them. 16 people who have proven to be tougher than iron and they will face each other in an eliminatory tournament. First turn (8 matches): 1)Li Rui vs Richard Overton 2)Balbir Singh vs Shivakumara Swami 3)Violeta Chamorro vs Le Duc Anh 4)Dilip Kumar vs Harry Leslie Smith Winner by technical pneumonia: Dilip Kumar! 5)George Fernandes vs Monica Vitti 6)Nobby Stiles vs Leah Bracknell 7)Daniel Arap Moi vs Robert Mugabe 8)Girma Wolde-Giorgis vs Wilford Brimley Winner: the one and only Wilford Brimley! Winner of each round will advance in the tournament.

Yeah we've noticed EDIT: Actually on review it's not just you - loads of people can't stop saying Jean Louis Trintignant - it's like a virus.

Turnbull and Weir look more like 2020 hits from their public appearances but I may be wrong.

The only reason he might not be a sure pick for 2019 is because 2017 might have been his Last Christmas. Yeah though,pretty much a freebie on the bingo card so to speak if he is breathing Jan 1

I found a name that may interest some people. Pete McCloskey, a US representative from California who ran against Richard Nixon in the Republican primary for president in 1972 is still alive aged 91.

RE Kaing Guek Eav AKA Comrade Duch was discharged on November the 13th and sent back to prison. "We did not hope he would survive". Why the fuck did you grant him treatment, morons?

Joss Ackland strikes me as a quite DL-y name, he's now 90. Similarly, although only 85, David Bellamy.

BRACKNELL. And on the 2020 list when she fucking survives next year too.

Stu Ungar flopped for good today in 1998
