Never heard of him.

This is the precise reason why I fucking haven’t

Mercedes Gland and her vacant partner Vince Feecees are delighted to announce the safe arrival of baby Psoriasis, a welcome sister for Toejam and Peanut.

We'll hold you to this, although you're probably right...

No no, this ain’t stopping until I’ve heard of one of the the fucking would-be parents

Star of The Only Way Is Kensington Chlamydia Fufu has announced on Snapchat that she is pregnant with her first litter with her fuck buddy co-star Richard Cranium.

I love Kandinsky as well. I also like Chagal, Klimt, and maybe a bit predictably I like the pre- Raphaelites. I don't know whether it's because I have a long face, but I've always been rather fond of Modigliani's work.

Yeah but, look at it another way. This thread makes all the other shit ones look brilliant. See? It has its place!

The last party for Peter Sellers on this day 40 years ago, aged 54.

Or this one. One of the best Christmas cards ever sent to me.

Genuinely now, hands up who has heard of the people in those last two posts. Because I’ll bet a pound to a pinch of shit the answer is NOBODY.

Alex "Hurricane" Higgins blew out 10 years ago today

I was always a fan of Van Clomp.

Two painters have always stood out for me, Claude Monet with his waterlilies and Wassily Kandinsky:

Relativity by M. C. Escher: Can't lie that I'm not equipped to understand most visual art. Maths passed off as art, like this, is more up my street. There's no kind of emotional provocation in this picture. All it asks of you is to decide which way is 'up'.

Compare him to Tom Moore who is just a year older.There is no comparison! Philip walks with ease and no support. He's even better than the Queen mother was by that age.She was in a wheelchair most of the time as I recall.Reports of his death on twitter were greatly exaggerated .He could easily make it to 103 or 104 now in my opinion.

Oh flip, it’s another whippersnapper making me feel ancient

Glenn Curtiss stopped flying on this day 90 years ago, aged 52.

I managed to get: Great grandparent level – 70.8 years (54.2 years men, 87.1 years women) grandparental level = 71.5 years (and rising) (65.6 years men, 75.9 years women) What this tells me is that while this can give you a ball park, you aren't going to know your life span till you wake up one day aged 95 and think "how the fuck did I get here?". Well that, and apparently there's a big increase in the average male life expectancy when you aren't spraying a generation with poison gases in the Somme. Who knew?

The curtain went down for actor Eric Christmas on this day 20 years ago, aged 84.

About as accurate as shaq from the free throw line

If he wins, Joe Biden needs to be on the list. If Hillary is his VP he will Need to disappear sooner than later. Most likely accidental hanging in Lincoln Bedroom.

According to this twitter conversation, the photos are older and not from her recent birthday. They were obviously taken while Olivia was mourning for a friend in the church, which explains her looking "pissed off": https://twitter.com/ManuellaMartin5/status/1278715870131486720/photo/1 One of the authors in those Twitter posts obviously has contact to friends and family members of Olivia. She also confirmed that the bicycle photos are older and that this kind of activity would be a bit too much for her now, but also writes that she is in good health for 104 years with a sharp mind.
