It means any member of a national squad who travelled to the tournament. They do not have to have played in a match. It is the WORLD Cup

Chicago-based rapper FBG Duck forgot to (duck). He was shot and killed. Age 26. https://abc7chicago.com/fbg-duck-dead-shot-2020/6353835/

Aye, he said it was always best to fish over the opposite side of the boat to him, but Moses was a rite prick, when you cast your line out before it hit the waters he would part them!!!

The quoted list is the one we are using. To avoid not picking.

I got one this morning with that same photo that said “How big was that fucking jacket??”

You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

Tbf, this is a perfect example of your brain. It is also a complete fucking mess.

Kid, stop being such a twat. Wait for the confirmation of what happened and stop speculating the cause.

I thought folk were calling Boris Bawjaws before which is a common Glasgow insult for someone who speaks a lot but says nothing but shite.

Feel like "firework factory" might be a euphemism here for "place where Hezbollah were storing a metric shit-tonne of weaponry"

FTFY

I've got a very strong feeling and sense that 2020 is going to be a watershed, landmark end of an era kind of year as we embark upon a new decade. I think a lot of big or significant names will finally pass away next year. More so than in 2016 a year many highlight as being a big year for celebrity/famous deaths. Prince Philip, Vera Lynn, Kirk Douglas amongst the names I expect to fall next year as well as current and former world leaders like Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Sultan of Oman etc More of the winning England 1966 football team as well sadly are likely. Anybody else got the feeling that 2020 in terms of not just the official deathlist but wider deadpooling or famous deaths is going to be an unusually big momentous year? PS Hope the crude metaphor does not offend!

Taxi for Harry Mac!

At 52, we have lost Tony Costanza, who was in Machine Head, Crowbar, Seinfeld and Who's the Boss?

There is a thread for scientists but speaking as a scientist Lovelock is one of the few who would be recognisable outside of the science field. James Watson is the other one and he actually looks worse than Lovelock atm.

My condolences, Bou.

So another group joins Jimi Hendrix Experience, Ramones and Motörhead. Extinct classic line-ups.

No. Witty is lost on the fuckers on here. Now, I'm off to concentrate on deaths, thank you very much. More tea, vicar?

Hmm, read it any way you want. I have seen everything play out mostly as anticipated. It's taken longer because of the incompetence of Westminster and it's now going to be an utter disaster by virtue of Blibberwimble getting the job. Look I've been quite consistent if you read the thread. Scotland was always going to vote No, England was always going to vote Yes. You can't say my vote in Scotland changed very much as if it was a deciding factor. I voted no because of the choice of two loathesome opposing factions. I simply added weight to the get out option would lead to a split between Scotland and Westminster - that much was inevitable and entirely predictable. If anyone had said Blibberwimble would be PM back in 2014 or 2016, they'd have been laughed out of the Commons bar - that was not predictable. I don't think Scotland's miserable at all. I think it's rather optimistic actually, more powers over it's affairs and having a leader who cares about the people - rather than Blibber who only ever wanted power and is now leaving the "world leader" status to a certain D Cummings who doesn't give a shit about anything, least of all spreading corona between London and the North East.

I drank 14 of your Scott-ish beers the past 14 days. No way I was passing up this one.
