I stand corrected! Apologies

It doesn't mean the same in the Scottish courts, the guy that assaulted me was found 'Not Proven' which means the Sherriff knows that he is guilty but the Fiscal could not prove it so he walked free. Back to your test, I think you should ask for another one.

77 today. Didn't find any specific news about him (while using Google News for one or two seconds).

Really bad taste, but cult.

Master of the classic tasteless joke, you know, of the mysoginistic, xenophobic, homophobic kind. He had faithful fans since the 60s and 70s and was a living capsule of simpler times.

Well done on not testing positive mate!

My mum was never up when I left for school in the morning, so I could have gone dressed like a Black Sabbath groupie for all she knew.

The should have let the shooter they caught outside the Whitehouse straight in the front door and given him a free shot.

Jefferey Epstein did not kill himself one year ago today at the age of 66.

Toad, the mushroom sidekick from the world of Mario has died from pancreatic cancer

So, is that her surname or info on the wall of the station toilet?

Then guess 31 every day.

The problem with Gates isn’t his illness. The problem is he is just the dad of a far far more famous son and nothing else. What next, Andrea Swift deserves to be on the list cause of her brain tumor? Give me a fucking break.

In better news. I have lost a stone in weight since lockdown began.

One that went unnoticed at the time, even by the usually excellent Cricketer magazine: NZ keeper-batsman Graham 'Jock' Edwards, on 6 April. Big Jock played two Tests in England in 1978 but in a wet summer his agricultural approach was ineffective and he was replaced behind the sticks by opening batsman Bruce Edgar for the last Test.

Is it true he won't come back? Oh no no.
