Not sure I would take the word of someone who describes herelf as a soul cleanser as gospel. I see her other 2 most recent tweets are (1) how much she loves Donald Trump and (2) that the day of judgement may well be in October next year. The words 'cake' and 'fruit' spring to mind.

Her daughter was early 90s comedy character actress Harriet Thorpe (The Brittas Empire, Absolutely Fabulous).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD DAMMIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Fuck me runnin! Well I fucking give up. @Spade_Cooley I concede before we start our Cup match. I had one ringer and now he’s fuckjng dead!! Been waiting SIX FUCKING WEEKS!!!!! FUUUUUUCCCCKKKK ME! ——— This FB post from Robbie Smith’s bandmate, Kathleen Glauser of the Nova Scotia folk duo Naming the Twins: “No more darkness to cloud my vision To make me blind to the light I seek No more chains now to keep me in prison To make my heart grow weak No more weakness to drown my spirit To weigh me down in a sea of grief Just sweet music all around, can't you hear it To bring my soul relief Home, I'm going to follow my father home Follow my father home Truly Home From "Drifters and Dreamers" Words and music by Robbie Smith Oct 28, 1954 - Feb 27, 2019 He is truly home now.” ———-

Obituary.

Tipped as a possible for 2019 by @Spade_Cooley on 1 November 2018, Gillian Freeman, author and screenwriter of The Leather Boys, dead: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-uk/obituary.aspx?n=gillian-freeman&pid=191688968 IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0293400/

Team sent. Borderline fodder across the board, so much so I've added 11 subs, I hope that satisfies your quest to make your job easier on this being the last day. And by all means feel free to copy the "why you send it so fucking late" rant templates I normally use back at me.

Round 2 1. Rad Vs. Yorkshire Banker OR Skinny Kiltrunner 2. Chorizo Vs. Grim Up North 3. Clorox Vs. Alt Obits Guy 4. Nantonian2013 OR Maryportfuncity Vs. The Quim Reaper OR BuffaloPhil 5. DDT Vs. Death Impends 6. The Dead Cow Vs. Deadsox 7. Charon Vs. Engineer 8. Deathray Vs. The Mad Hatter 9. Gcreptile Vs. msc 10. Joey Russ Vs. Banana 11. Sir Creep Vs. Spade Cooley 12. Torva Messor Vs Dr T 13. Master Tech OR Bibliogryphon Vs. Book 14. Gooseberry Crumble OR John Key Vs. Heef 15. Young Willz Vs. JoeMoneypenny OR Pedro 16. Wormfarmer OR The Old Lady Vs. The Unknown Man OR Boudicca. OK, I think I've reminded everyone not yet to put in a team who might need to. State of play above - teams in bold are in. If folk add FFBI picks from now - I'll just add First Sub. Penalties state Joe v Pedro Master Tech v Bibliogryphon Yorkshire Banker v Skinny Kiltrunner These penalty shootouts have been undertaken, with a two pence coin dating back to 1996 apparently, and a host with dodgy co-ordination. Short of it, I know who wins those three ties now. So three of you might want to hurry up with late winners! Results at midnight (if needed) as usual.

Radiation is good for you! Wildlife around Chernobyl is thriving despite high radiation levels. Soon industrial civilization will fall apart and we'll bake in radiation https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/04/060418-chernobyl-wildlife-thirty-year-anniversary-science/

Sent. Not sure how successful I'll be. Only just got back from an adventure race down South. Hard to research without internets.

No he was not indicted and I don’t believe he was ever implicated in any particular wrong doing in regard to Watergate. Point of interest, with the exception of Jean Kennedy Smith, there are now no living presidential siblings until George H. W. Bush’s.

Chirac now only recognises 5 people (not named) Bernadette is also in increasingly bad health since the death of her daughter in 2016 for those interested in a 2 for 1 deal. (Links are in French because duh)

Mine's in with msc, having spent literally minutes doing a bit of ineffectual research, though I'm certainly not complacent of the fact that my polite rival Phil could quite easily slap me down within the next 26 and a half hours and render it pointless.

Vera Lynn's health seems to be tied to Britain's political fortunes. Flourishes on the back of the Second World War, goes on for ages afterwards, albeit slowly declining, and now might be doomed, might not.

Wood pigeons need to be a LOT higher on that list. Big clumsy noisy fuckers (literally, they breed all year round).

I'll still pick the cow out of contrariness

Damn, how good am I?

It takes a huge pair of cajones to publicly disparage the Fort Worth Star like that.

Your dream sounds more fun than mine. I dreamt about dead penguins pooing in my fridge last night so all is back to normal for me.

My first DL dream: I dreamt that @drol stepped out in front of my hire car out here in Perth and I damn nearly ran him over. I started shouting at him but then I recognised him (he looked exactly like his pic, and, naturally, he was walking a dog that looked just like @theoldlady's pic) and then said hello. He replied to me that I didn't look anything like Ainsley Harriott and we had a laugh about Sri Sri.

Good timing. Crematorium worker exposed to radiation after a cancer patient gets torched without them knowing he'd had radiation therapy. https://www.foxnews.com/health/mans-radioactive-remains-spread-radiation-all-over-cremation-chamber
