Sad news. Asterix is one of the great cultural creations of the 20th Century imo.

My father used to have every single Asterix comic book ( until his death), so as a child I also read them all. Sad, but at least a hit for my French theme team...

Unless Nigel Blackwell or New Jack die this year, this is the death I'll be most sad at in 2020.

He’s fine.

Damn shame. I love those books from childhood to this day. The first bit of latin I ever learned was because of those. Alea jacta est. RIP.

Big news here in France ! He was really loved... +1 for my french list... RIP...

I was the resident conspiracy nut on this website but alot of things I've said have turned out to be true. 1) Get rid of cash 2) vaccine for everyone ,with quantum dot tattoo to say you've had it . See bill gates AMA recently and ID2020 3) tracker in the vaccine 4) debit cards phased out as banks need to cut back and for sanitary reasons / credit chip under the skin to pay for things using existing contactless payment technology 5) 5g tracking of everyone either via the vaccine tracker or credit chip tracker . Get your kids chipped too incase they get snatched / kids won't be able to attend school or receive benefit money onto your chip without your kids vaccinated. They won't force you to take the coronavirus vaccine . However you won't be allowed to do alot of things. First thing is flying , guarantee you'll need to prove you've had vaccine before being allowed on planes in the near future.

Poor Husband. I cant imagine how terrible it must be to have Amy Klobuchar as your wife.

1) I asked members if they were interested in me doing that thread and quite a few responded yes 2) I’ve been putting a lot of original research into that thread as the info isn’t readily available online. The biggest contribution you make is cut and pasting stories about obscure ppl from your Google news feed. Take a fucking seat.

Remarkably similar to my personal Tinder policy.

The most terrible thing about this bad cold that's flooring me is I'm too weak to skip YouTube ads and they are just as awful as you can imagine. And it's trolling me. I go to sleep on my second phone, let it do its own thing and wake up to "Saturday Night Fever"

Yes, it will be like the Yellow Fever vaccine in some parts of Africa, you will not get a visa until you have a stamp in your vaccination book that you have had it (would have to be adapted to include those who have had the illness and are then immune, if indeed they are). The problem is that the above may not even be technically possible for another 18 months. There's no guarantee there will ever be a vaccine. As someone living long term on the other side of the world, I'm currently unclear as to whether I will be ever able to go back to my home country, or at least for years. Weird times.

These boys.

Your only supposed to ring 111 if you need hospital treatment at this point, there basically a 2nd 999 in this sort of situation Don't phone them to tell you you've got the fucking thing. Half the country has and your taking the line up for someone who needs an ambo.

Fixed that for you.

The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster The story describes a world in which most of the human population has lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual now lives in isolation below ground in a standard room, with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Travel is permitted, but is unpopular and rarely necessary. Communication is made via a kind of instant messaging/video conferencing machine with which people conduct their only activity: the sharing of ideas and what passes for knowledge. Online text here

A farmer stopped by the local mechanics shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home. On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped at the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his purchases home. While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, 'Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane ?' The farmer said, 'Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house. I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot.' The old lady suggested, 'Why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?' 'Why thank you very much,' he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home. On the way he says, 'Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time". The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, 'I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and have your way with me?' The farmer said, 'Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?' The old lady replied, 'Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens'.

oh I know. I almost broke down in tears when (s)he died, knowing the hours of work presenting me here. Truong is noted as no QO.

He's still dead.

Protestants. Give them the run of the kitchen because social distancing and they put the toaster in the press (!) aaaand toast IN THE FRIDGE. Actual maniacs. I can't even try to explain any of this.

A physically fit tiny Ashkenazi Jewish woman like RBG will probably live long enough to see President PewDiePie or Willow Smith

Saw the handwashing with "God Save the Queen" and thought I would rather die tbh. I'm considering locking charon's chinese phone thread as a precaution. First case offshore. My pal there has already cancelled his Italian skiing holiday and is going nowhere for a while.

I'll skip the quality American cuisine if it's all the same to you, Banshees. I would like one of these, though: More toys from Bad Santa here.

Perhaps you should change the title of this thread to, "Winter Holiday", Lady Die. Although people of non-Christian faiths may have no problem with it, it might offend a white, middle-class, lefty graduate who's been on too many equality and diversity courses wthout ever actually speaking to to somebody from a minority group.
