They wouldn't be allowed in without a Thai.

It's believed many people were on their way to a United Nations conference. All nations, who had at least one of their citizens on board, are legally entitled to participate in the crash investigation.

Have I stumbled across @charon's secret identity?

Feb was huge! Clorox is on a monster roll. Several teams are yet to submit, they may have wandered off and fallen in an open grave. Things are getting pretty spread out already after only a little over 2 months.

157 common people.... and Leah Brackers was not on board!

American cyclist Kelly Catlin offed herself at the age of 23. Sad news.

Greece's greatest ever basketball player not good enough for you?

It's only the worst plane crash of the year. Not good enough for drol.

@Wormfarmer Please make the table for March! This is my favorite poll. :-) Hope you had a lovely time at the Bob Seger concert.

Ending act for William Powell on this day 35 years ago, aged 91.

Along with Howie Meeker as mentioned, I believe the only names with any hope at a QO. I’d like to think even the Brits QO Ted Lindsay, who was on the Production Line with Gordie Howe on the Detroit Red Wings. If not him then none of these guys will obit. Maybe Meeker. SC https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-6769429/Red-Wings-great-NHL-union-pioneer-Ted-Lindsay-dies-93.html QO for Lindsay. My faith in the Brits media correct. I still stick to the three remaining. If Meeker goes first, it's possible but unlikely that Hannigan would get a follow up QO for being the last of that Cup team to survive. SC

So you're saying that he and his gallbladder are going their separate ways?

My shameful secret is not particularly shameful but death related so I thought I'd share it. When our dog died we buried him in someone else's garden. The people are now close friends, but we didn't know them at the time. We've never been able to bring ourselves to tell them, but we've been quite successful in influencing their landscaping plans for the garden. Incidentally, this is the same house I mentioned ages ago which had stolen railings from a grave as a fireguard (stolen by my aunt).

Awful outcome. But what about the list of nationalities on the flight. I have been on many a flight but this little Ethiopian flight covers the world. Was there a huge conference on something: He said they included 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, nine Ethiopians, eight Italians, eight Chinese, eight Americans, seven Britons, seven French citizens, six Egyptians, five Dutch citizens, four Indians and four people from Slovakia. Three Austrians, three Swedes, three Russians, two Moroccans, two Spaniards, two Poles and two Israelis were also on the flight. There was also one passenger each from Belgium, Indonesia, Somalia, Norway, Serbia, Togo, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sudan, Uganda and Yemen.

Point proven. Entranced. This might be a good time to discuss DL Cup picks
