Well, I didn't picked Mairead Corrigan, maybe Dying Probably was who picked her

Lucille Starr, the first female Canadian country music singer to sell one million records, the first Canadian woman to be inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and the first Canadian woman to perform at Nashville's famous Grand Ole Opry, has died. She was 82. I suppose the epitaph writes itself. (In Kenny Rogers voice: "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.") https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/lucille-starr-country-music-manitoba-1.5714448

1. The return of the dinosaurs. 2. After Joe Biden dies, Kamala Harris chooses Hillary Clinton as her VP. 3. Prince Charles finally comes out as Gay. 4. Actual Covid-19 death rates hit over 10,000,000. 5. A tsunami comes after Dying Probably`s 8.0 magnitude earthquake in the Canary Islands killing millions of people living on the Easten Coast of the USA.

Cooked Islands.

Joe Biden. If Joe Biden wins the 2020 presidential election, I highly doubt he would make it through the first four year term as president. This is because while trying to run for president in 1988, he suffered two brain aneurysms and that took a toll on his mental health. He is also 77 going on 78, so if he does win the presidential election he will be the oldest president to step foot into office.

Not a good time to have been a Cook Islands politician. On the heels of one-time PM Joe Williams' death, former Health Minister Nandi Glassie has now also died. He was 69. https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/425388/the-cook-islands-loses-another-former-cabinet-minister

And now she has surpassed Lucy Hannah. In 13 days she will be 3rd oldest person to live, and also the oldest asian to have lived as well

Yeah, raindrops keep fallin' on my head...etc. etc...it won't be long 'til A PENIS steps out to greet me!

Aha, the old Madame de Gaulle joke.

If one wanted to be cruel, given how things turned out, you might say that despite being the older brother Edward VIII *was* the spare, he just didn't realise it...

Oldest man in Finland, ww2 veteran and author Väinö Loisa died at age 108. https://www.luumaenlehti.fi/2020/09/01/suomen-vanhin-mies-vaino-loisa-on-kuollut/ Wrote book "Varjelus oli mukana" about his experiences in the battles he fought 1939-1945

And in about 79.5 years, she’ll have lived in 3 different centuries, the first to do so since Emma Morano.

This absolute legend died 14 years ago today aged 44

Bob Denver died on this day 15 years ago, aged 70.

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

Still think it should be a national holiday

The country mourned Princess Di's death 23 years ago today.

Abraham Zapruder, who filmed the assassination of John F. Kennedy, died on this day 50 years ago, aged 65.

Gc has hitchon twice on his team btw

@Sir Creep I have sent a Mail concerning my list.

I have just been on the blower to him. He tells me he is absolutely spiffing and is not about to go anywhere soon. He also asked me to tell you that he thinks you are a massive twat. To the point, is Ray.

You're doing a grand job, keeping the technical side ticking over well.

After a terribly busy week, and a few days before a week-long holiday of mine, I could finally update again. With Brett Hutchinson's/Sinclair's belated QO, April gets to 30 hits, i.e. one per day. I might get another update on Monday in. But after that, things have to wait for about 8 days.
