"NOTE: This disclaimer was written by a complete stranger who was bored at work, as I completely lack the mental capacity for creative writing, or indeed I couldn't be bollocksed to write my own. God I'm useless. Not that this is necessary, of course; who actually has a disclaimer at the end of their email? Since when has that been a thing? Is this another thing Americans do to look clever or important? I mean, I've heard of people casually slipping in their job title and maybe a hand-written signature in a feeble attempt to self-aggrandise, but a disclaimer? That's taking the fucking piss. Disclaimers are a complete waste of space, as are their owners. Sure, this is a disclaimer of sorts, and yes, it's having an existential crisis, but what's the most remarkable thing here: the fact that this is a wholly unnecessary and yet self-conscious paragraph of bollocks or the fact that you're still reading it? Anyone who reads these things is clearly a pervert. Yes, you. You're a pervert. This disclaimer is on to you. We know what you've done. We have access to your hard drive. You sicken me. The authorities will know about this. Pack your things, assume a false identity, forge a new passport and hide for the rest of your miserable, unfulfilling, pointless life in the arse end of Tierra Del Fuego or somewhere, and die a scared, lonely death, mulling over all of your poor life choices, you fucking waste of piss and wind. Now get to fuck, you disgusting little cunt.

Happy 109th birthday today to Eileen Ash (nee Whelan). She is a genuine link to the past as the first of her 7 Test matches for England was in 1937 - only 83 years ago! She is the only living cricketer whose life overlaps that of W G Grace who died in 1915 - the last known photo of him is a few weeks before his death at a cricket match (spectating of course!) putting money in a Red Cross collecting box.

Bring it on

Yeah, sorry about that.

The Tams (Part 2) Robert Lee Smith appeared in this article from 2019: http://eastcobbnews.com/east-cobb-author-meets-tams-singer-at-marietta-book-signing/ Event took place in July 2019, so let's hope we'd have noticed his demise?

T.Rex - just looking at the CD sleeve notes for Dandy in the Underworld which says the band on Soul of my Suit is Bolan, Dines, Flowers and Newman Unluckily for Bolan and luckily for this thread the final singles - Dandy in the Underworld and Celebrate Summer (no line up credited on the CD but fairly sure Miller Anderson is on it) - didn't chart Oh aye, and fairly sure Paul Fenton's contributions to the band are limited to drums/additional percussion on album tracks only - he's credited on one song - Solid Baby - specifically on the sleeve notes for Bolan's Zip Gun (1975) but nowt about him being on the hit singles on that album

Cerberus you are correct, most Americans call her Queen Elizabeth, i don’t even think the US media refers to her a Queen Elizabeth ll however Virginia was Settled in1607, QE1 died in 1603

Money can be set aside. In a piggy bank or a separate savings account. It doesn't have to be spent at once. In the case of Wilkos, it's mostly Christmas decorations, tinsel and tat, not exactly essential, and can't that wait a few weeks so we can buy a bit of garden twine and a pop-up leaf bag when we need them?

Richard's dad?

That's better.

Happy Birthday to me Happy Birthday to me Happy Birthday to Mr Redrumours Happy Birthday to me. Might as well save me the the bother of going to the death anniversary thread. Shared with 2 famous deaths. 1 a scholar who lost his head in 1618 Walter Raleigh. 1 a twat Jimmy Savile in 2011.

I’m from the USA and we weren’t ruled by Elizabeth Tudor either so we refer to QE2 simply as Queen what’s her face the first. Or just plain Queen what’s here face as we Americans love simplifying everything. ALso if I could amend my previous statement I also hope she and the Duke both live long enough to bury their grandson Harry too.

I only troll pompous assholes, otherwise I’m a somewhat decent person. if Wikipedia still insists on on that page I picture best from the right side profile.

You’re Fake news
