That wouldn't actually help that much Sir Creep because if only 1 of the 5 knew them then he would still be booted out. The point of this pool (or at least my understanding of it) is that the fame bar is set very high. I actually tried to prove that Ted Turner and Alice Munro decisions on Fame were wrong following the rules but they aren't - they both succeed on the wiki and the article (rules 1 and 4) but fail on rules 2 and 3 - at that point you need 4 out of 5 people to know who they are (and they failed that test). Very harsh on both of them but the rules are well set out. PS Try not to be such a twat.

Who’s to say there isn’t one? You ignorant cunt. 3/5 of us did know Ted Turner. One short. That’s the rules. My rules. And nobody said you’re supposed to play this game; it’s entirely your choice and it certainly won’t be made any better with you in it. Now get your head out of your arsehole, you fucking flag-shagging embarrassment. TQR

Lucille Bridges, the mother of civil rights activist Ruby Bridges, had died. She was 86. Ruby Bridges became the first African-American child to desegregate an all-white school in the south. https://foxbaltimore.com/news/nation-world/lucille-bridges-mother-of-activist-ruby-bridges-dies-at-86

I wasn’t allowed to say anything until today, but it's now okay for me to share that I have volunteered for the Covid-19 vaccine trials that Glasgow College are running in partnership with Oxford University. It's important that we all do our part to beat this virus. The vaccine is the one that has been developed in Russia. I received my first dose this morning 06:20 am, and I wanted to let you all know that it’s completely safe, with иo side effects whatsoeveя, and that I feelshκι я чувю себя немного стрно и я думю, что вытл осные уши. чувству себя немго страо

Fuck off Creepy. Enough of the interweb is dominated by your lot. We've just had a week dominated by your elections where an utter cretin with no redeemable qualities whatsoever still got 70 million votes. There's a world outside the US borders, not that you lot think so*. I know who Ted Turner is thanks. Rude? Fire with fire. It's all some folks understand. *those that post as you do that is. There are plenty of perfectly pleasant Americans hereabouts.

Lady Moyra Campbell, aristocrat and charity campaigner, dead at 90. Was a maid-of-honour at the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

No you’re not, now fuck off

Ok, I'm bored and I can't sleep again. How do you know there isn't an American amongst the four that aren't TQR himself? Incidentally, whilst I know who Ted Turner is, can you name the owner of a tv station or network outside America without recourse to google? Just curious.

Based on nothing but "feel," but I've been working as a sub-editor for 15 years, most of that dealing with financial and business journalism, and Carl Icahn has been very quiet over the past six months....

Superb effort @Ulitzer95, it's been a pleasure to help out in the latter stages a little, although my input has been fairly minimal in all honesty. Very interesting read, it's amazing the terrible stuff that can be found without leaving the Top 10, let alone in the lower reaches of the 50s or 60s...

I like to listen to old American Top 40 1970s reruns each week. They are rollercoasters. Oftentimes you have a string of good or at least tolerable songs derailed by something stupid like Disco Duck or My Ding A Ling...

I feel as though Noam Chomsky, Carlos Menem, Rush Limbaugh, Glynis Johns and Robert Fyfe are all debut musts for the 2021 DL.

I’ve got a horrible feeling that he his going to frustrate us and deny most of us another hit just like he has frustrated us and the State/taxpayer for all these years he has remained alive

I think the most telling sign of Trump's unpopularity is in his claim that even the dead came back to vote against him...

Once a week, at most.

En Passant thinks The Quim Reaper is also taking this opportunity to have a sly dig at comments in the 3rd person, having tried the direct approach earlier with what is now apparent is little success. En Passant agrees with this distaste but fears it will still be ignored despite being highlighted here.

Yeah when is the fucking twat going to finish the GOT books!?!

Everybody buys more than one poppy anyway, because by the time Remembrance Sunday rolls around, they will have lost the first one they bought. Anyway I have a binload of them as I am a poppy appeal organiser. A role that was sort of foisted on me, but I don't mind doing it. It involves multiple visits to pubs.

Wonder if when the Duke of Edinburgh dies, the BBC could just cut to old Bernard Manning routines?
