Coca-cola addict Kane Tanaka is doing advertisement for coca-cola, which also launched a bottle named after her. Looks pretty much amazing. Only thing is she drank so much coke she started floating like a balloon and was flying away. Luckily the nursing home staff was very careful and retrieved her before she was too far.

I presume, like me, the only time anyone ever visits someone's profile is when you click on the name instead of the last post details and find yourself looking at someone's profile instead of the thread, mutter FFS to yourself, and immediately go back and click on right bit. Or you click to go to John Key's because he's set up a whole thread begging you to do that - so far I have resisted even though there is now the added temptation of finding out how many and who the sad fuckers were who clicked and went to his profile to satisfy his wildest desires.

Three hits to update, and all three were SOLO: Dinkins, Duff, and Patterson*. I also corrected Banana's score. We have a new leader in HDS. WEP is also into the top 4.

Bill Holmes has died. Blackburn recognise him as 'one on the club's oldest surviving players', presumably covering themselves just in case as they don't have your extensive research at their fingertips. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/december/rovers-sadness-over-former-players-passing/

Deb Price, the first nationally syndicated columnist on gay life in the U.S., has died. She was 62. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/obituaries/2020/11/27/deb-price-who-wrote-groundbreaking-detroit-news-column-gay-issues-dies/6431049002/

Worth noting that Prince Philip will become the oldest ever British Duke in a week from today (10th December) when he turns 99 years and 6 months. He’ll overtake the 8th Duke of Wellington who died on 31st December 2014 aged 99 years, 5 months, 29 days.

it is worth noting, that the Broken Heart Syndrom mostly affects men as widowers. Women are far less likely to die shortly after their husband.

Usually when I'm looking for a specific post for something and click on the wrong bit.

I just looked him up and gawd Damn he looks so frail. The headline should be when he goes Bob Dole In The Hole.

Bob Bryant was a megachurch pastor from San Bernardino County, California, who has died of COVID-19 after leading outdoor services for his congregation, according to NBC Los Angeles.

Hollywood Showbiz journalist David Sheehan dead at 82: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-12-03/david-sheehan-kcbs-knbc-obituary Slight miss for me. His illness was known.

What do you think you’re going to find on someone’s profile? There’s literally fuck all of any interest on them. Who actually cares who looks at their profile? And why would you care if someone can see you’ve clicked on theirs?

Alrighty, did the first snapshot of the 9 lists entered in so far, and there’s some interesting stuff so far. There’s some names I’m surprised are making the 50 so far, but this is early days so a few of them will fall down the sofa, but also the list is wide open with so many names gone this year so could be that some names are trying to fill new roles as bedblockers. There’s also a few names I expected to make the list but are doing surprisingly well. However, this is only after one week, and things can massively change especially during the final week. Remember that Sultan Qaboos and John Lewis were able to make it on solely due to last week lists (or 48 hours lists in the case of John Lewis)...

Top class graffiti. Likely in Basildon.

Is this just a way of saying " Please view my profile"?

Not least Heather Mills.

Now I do agree with providing sanitary wear for those that can’t afford it. It’s an absolute fucking disgrace that these are taxed (in England at least) as ‘luxury’ items. There is nothing luxurious about teenage girls having to stuff their underwear with the inner cardboard tube of a toilet roll because they can’t afford sanitary towels. I’d much rather see my tax spent on Tampax than Jacob Rees-Mogg’s latest expenses claim, and I’m desperately trying to think of a ‘stuck up cunts’ joke here.

Exactly- every single death is from ‘lack of breath’.

Why on earth was Sean's name not on this list?
