I hadn't realised Mad Mohamed Al-Fayed had joined the forum. How's your health sir?

Yes he will not be vastly mourned but Prime Minister dying in office is a difficult constitutional time. Dominic Raab would be effectively in charge of the country while the Conservative party falls in on its self trying to avoid Rishi Sunak getting the job full time.

Report of the death of Ian Mitchell, short-lived member of the Bay City Rollers, aged 62: http://www.noise11.com/news/ian-mitchell-of-bay-city-rollers-dead-at-age-62-20200902

Lance Finch, a former British Columbia chief justice, has died. He was 82. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/lance-finch-dies-82-1.5708712

1) Prince William dies in a horror helicopter crash 2) We leave the EU with No Deal 3) Covid mutates and the second wave mainly affects the young with a death rate of about 20%. 4) Trump wins the US election 5) A video emerges on YouTube from the Ghislaine Maxwell evidence of Prince Andrew shagging Virginia Giuffre and the sweat is pouring down his back and into his arse crack like the Mississippi river - everyone feels obliged to watch it but The Queen refuses to denounce him publicly leading to riots in London against the royal family and Buckingham Palace is trashed.

You know, in the old days, folk would say summat like "PM is dead, who will implement the policies? Will there be a change in direction of the country? Will we have continuity? What will be the impact on the Stock Exchange and the currency markets?" This no longer applies. It's all "Which personality profile will take over?" And that's simply because for thirty years we've had Government without grand vision, without direction. Simply an island with a proud naval tradition, subsumed into a land of navel gazing. Anyway, disaster it ain't, whether left or right.

On this fucking tragedy: So I'm guessing 1 September, but I'm not on FB.

J.R.R Tolkien died 47 years ago today aged 81

The Russ is right Reds are uniques and in this game uniques are very important

Khmer Rouge prison commander and all-around oxygen waste Comrade Duch has died aged 77.

In a bad year for 80s pop stars' parents, Steve Norman's mother has died:

Bollocks.

Erick Morillo was the king of dance music.He was an icon.He was a god. His loss cannot be calculated.I type this through tears. God bless you Erick. Your legacy will endure for generations. R.I.P

It was released - first time around - during a relative down period for Elton. He had retired from live performing, his substance abuse was at its worst, his delve into disco had been absolutely panned by the critics. He made a grand comeback in the mid 80s with I'm Still Standing and I Guess That's Why They Call It Blues, but Are You Ready... was sort of forgotten in pop culture until it was part of an ad campaign in 2002-3-ish time.

Mine may not be realistic, but eh. 1. Plane crash with at least 200 deaths where at least 20% are europeans 2. Someone will either attack or attempt to make an attack on President Trump (yes i know, Trump bad, but attacking a sitting president is still a disaster regardless of the person) 3. U.S. declares war on Iran 4. The vaccines in trial 3 will get further delayed (be less effective) and Covid-19 deaths/cases will start to rise drastically during November and December resulting in the "worst christmas" in modern times 5. A noteable royal member will die

None of these doom predictions are going to happen. Total waste of a dead pool game. I am going to give you all 5 positive predictions that I genuinely think will happen. 1) Biden wins the US Presidential Election, 2) Relations with China begin to develop into more friendlier diplomacy and less confrontational, 3) Coronavirus subsides all around the globe, 4) UK economy bounces back and growth soars across all sectors and 5) A beautiful white Christmas to enjoy remind us all of the good old days

Will this be the second time Tapie's deception costs someone a title?

Any time I hear Alan Bradley always think about this bit in Phoenix Nights

I wouldn’t say I “hate” anyone but the Nolan Sisters are about as close as I get with “severely dislike”. They’re publicity whores and why our media give them the spotlight is beyond me. They had a few hits when they were little girls. In the Mood For Dancing is that ultimate annoying and cringe song that gets your mad alcoholic aunt stumbling about swinging her hips at every family event. Coleen Nolan is the worst. Sits on the Stupid Women panel on daytime TV. Has been explicit in the past about how she feels about gay people, and yet gave her son a pile of cash to use for a prostitute on a lad’s holiday. Also bled the TV audiences of sympathy after her Celebrity Big Brother Appearances trying to make it look like Kim Woodburn was bullying her. Pfft, they’re both bad, but Woodburn clearly doesn’t like phoney mean spirited people and that’s likely why they clashed. Anyone would go mental being trapped in solitary confinement with those talentless publicity whoring has beens giving you their moral 101.

If the committee put him on the list and Eastwood finds out about it, he seems like a guy who would personally fly to everyone's house and punch them in the face.

You don’t have a tit...

I think Emmerdale has changed since you watched it, Lard
