There's a one in ten chance that our younger viewers will get any of that. UB40 were great in the beginning, it's a shame they turned themselves into a covers band.

Is the recent drought in significant deaths down to Aaron Ramsey's injury?

Thankfully there's no one worrying in their youth team!

Fucking massive. About twenty top 10 hits and 4 number 1s. Even if of those 4, 1 is dire, 1 is an Andy Williams cover, and 2 are duets with far better performers (Chrissie Hynde/Pato Banton).

I'm predicting a restrained and dignified thread here that could fall quickly So let's revive some Carptenter greatest hits to keep it going... Did you see the new Karen Carpenter album? Her picture's on the side. What's twelve inches long and has 100 holes in it? Karen Carpenter's belt. If Mama Cass had given her ham sandwich to Karen Carpenter, they might both still be alive today.

This thread has only just begun...

Yesterday I finally had the opportunity to see Loreena McKennitt live. A dream came true and the concert was absolutely fantastic! I was so moved all the time that I cried with every song. That may sound silly to you, but I could not stop the tears. I have never experienced anything like it!

RaderOnline seems to share some traits with National Enquirer see Sad Last Days thread.

Darth Vader? Who does he play for?

Well of course they would. Younger people dying by suicide are more of a "story" than elderly people dying of natural causes. I've never heard of the Thalassitis bloke.

Trae Coyle - isn't he in Green Day?

His move to Juventus will surely put a lot of ageing Italian celebs on notice.

Good spot Set us a new challenge

If we're accepting Radar Online as acceptable source from which to post, then it's alleged that she couldn't recognize Whoopi Goldberg on a recent visit and final goodbyes are being made by loved ones: https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2019/03/barbara-walters-suffering-advanced-dementia/

Def on my list.

Would you like your guide dog back?

Both Brexiteer and Remainer MPs support Bercow. Vote by Parliament to overrule unlikely, unless there's something else more palatable to them. Prorogue Parliament? Maybe, might as well have an election, given the tight timescales set by the EU. Another extension sought in light of that. You know how we used to chuckle at Trump and Bush Junior making the USA a global laughing stock? Well, it's good of the UK to become one now, standing shoulder to shoulder with our ally as being the international equivalent of Pee Wee Herman.

Maybe for the Brits but for everyone else no way

BA Flight to Dusseldorf Lands in Edinburgh by Mistake Lucky you weren't going today!

In honour of the great Scott Walker, here's one of his finest tracks - right between pop and avantgarde, not an easy listen, but still approachable:

It wouldn`t make any difference the government will collapse within the next 3 weeks anyhow.

How is that even possible?

The UKs ugliest dug, Chase aged 16, deid. https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/britains-ugliest-dog-died-aged-2689157 Had came third in The Worlds in 2017, so there are 2 uglier than he was.

Background: The local branch of the bank where I have my current account is closing, so for convenience I've decided to move it to another bank where I already have a savings account. For this I needed to make an appointment. Now of course these days you can't phone up the local branch, you have to go through some fucking call centre. All I wanted was an appointment, but they wanted to know everything down to my shoe size. Bankperson: What's the number of your savings account? Me: I don't know, I haven't got it to hand. So I then had to give her my name, postcode, date of birth, etc. Bankperson: What are the first two digits of your security number? Me: I don't have one. Bankperson: Oh. Well, I can issue you with one and email it to you. What is your email address? Me: Look, I just want to make an appointment. Surely all that can be sorted out then. Bankperson: What's your mobile number then? Me: I can't remember it, I just got a new one. My landline is --- Bankperson: No, it has to be a mobile. (Fucking cheek! Not everybody has a mobile!) Me: Look, I just want to make an appointment. Bankperson: But I can't just do that, it has to be done through your account. Me: Well, what if I didn't have an account? Surely you'd be able to book me an appointment then. I ONLY WANTED TO MAKE A FUCKING APPOINTMENT
