5 pointsCorrect. However, it's not all bad news. The records for peers, baronets, knights and dames have been saved here by someone who was kind enough to copy all of the info to their site. Leigh spent decades compiling this so thankfully it's not lost. What they haven't copied is the historical list of MPs. This is a bigger loss as no other site online has this data (loads of it is missing from Wiki). Watch this space though as I am going to retrieve it from the internet archive using the Wayback Machine and copy to a site of my own, along with the full UK singles chart once I finish compiling it (may take some time but 60% through the 50s and 60s so far – I'm going to upload that first then do all of the subsequent decades over the next year). I still have no idea what I'm going to call the site...

5 pointsHappy to report I'm feeling alot better. Muscle aches and joint aches almost gone still a little sore. The cough is more of a tickle on the throat rather than dry cough now and I seem to be coughing less and sitting in the sun for an hour today I didn't cough once. I understand why you said be patient , very frustrating having no taste or smell to the point I'm worrying it Won't come back. Did you say about a week it took for yours to come back? I did eat a bit of chocolate before and I could've sworn I tasted some slightly but now I'm wondering if I just imagined it. Ibu- profen I keep well away from I've notice they seem to make emptying your bladder harder, haven't took them in years since that.

2 pointsI was actually surprised to find out that there were, at least, two syndicates running at the time which were run by people who could get contestants onto the show, help them with the 'phone a friend' questions and would take a cut of the winnings. A tad more sophisticated than coughing!

1 pointCame across this one during my run on one of my playlists. It seems apt for the time. And before the virus police come after me for being outside exercising, this is a picture tonight of where I run.

1 pointMedal of Honor recipient Bennie Adkins was among the most popular corona picks for this round, and as such a lot of people picked him. First, in a bit of a reverse from last round it is now deadsox who has taken the lead against Clorox. A big change from the squonking that Clorox had against deadsox last April. Speaking of which there are legitimate squonkings this round. msc has opened up a 9 point lead against Sir Creep, and with no joker by his side, gonna be real hard to come back from this. Also having a big squonking is Quim Reaper, who’s declaration of “I’m totally going to lose this one” is likely correct this time. Now, Banana after so long has finally got a hit for his team. Unfortunately for him, Adkins was also on Death Impends team and was also his joker, so Banana now is 12 points behind the former DDP winner. The biggest squonking, however, unfortunately goes to Book. Book did have Adkins but unfortunately was up against JiroemonKimura, who like Death Impends jokered Adkins, and now leads 13 points against Book. Two other matches had someone pick Adkins. For one, Grim is now at 2 for 2 for corona picks and has a bit of a comfortable lead there. Meanwhile, An Fear Beag has a narrow lead against YoungWillz, which still leaves room for Frank Ifield to change the entire match up. All while waiting to see if there’s any twists to come... 1. Clorox vs Deadsox 9 - 12 2. Sir Creep vs msc 0 - 9 3. Book vs JiroemonKimura 3 - 16 4. Chorizo vs Quim Reaper 12 - 0 5. Grim vs Grobler 6 - 0 6. DeathByArsenic vs Torva 9 - 6 7. An Fear Bag vs YoungWillz 9 - 6 8. Banana vs Death Impends 3 - 15

1 pointYes, patience is key. Longest I lost my taste and smell for was about a fortnight after a really nasty chest infection back when I was a smoker. If it persists beyond the weekend maybe try a saline spray? Other than that there’s nothing you can do. Just have to wait for your body to reset itself.

1 pointYeah, but - there are a few decent books written about the whole history of failed end times prophecy. I mean, eventually one of them will be right but you could always challenge that person and say...'what about all the other daft cnuts?'

1 pointI've been watching half of Community so far, now that it's on Netflix. Remarkably consistent weirdo-comedy by Dan Harmon (co-creator of Rick and Morty). At some point, I realized that Sir Creep is "our" Pierce.

1 pointWell I got back to work. I'm a teacher and I was slightly worried about it all. But after the few first days, it's just great to be back at work even though it's very odd. Hope I don't catch that virus.

1 pointSee TheKing's previous entries. Overall he/she seems to have a huge problem with prisoners and that is what my remark was referring to. But just as a fucking sickening side remark I guess you were never abused because you are just too fucking ugly and fucked up to be bothered with. You were never targeted and never wanted. And it probably goes on to this day. Have a nice day and read the previous statements people have made.
