I hereby award Corporal Spiny the DL Old Crem Commemorative Medal for Gallantry for his brave yet suicidally foolhardy mission of starting this thread.

If all notable foreigners were posted just there I couldn't be arsed to sift through all that, anyway. That "other" German thread you mention probably is out there somewhere, I fail to find it though. So basically this here is the general German/A-CH thread now, it just randomly also happens to have a list of 50 mentioned in it that someone left lying around accidentally. Have to dispute that, of course: Our list has been compiled in strict accordance with the up-to-datest science of deathlistry, as should be expected on this forum!

Making overpriced headphones.

No more sodding threads

Well done GC Reptile - a truly great win. Good luck to all in 2021. I might dip my toe back in with a theme team in 2022.

Exactly what is his doctorate in? (Whoever he is )

Dead RIP.

Ivanka Trump's father looks kinda haggard on tv lately. He might be the male Jackie Stallone of this year

W’all didn’t give enough of a shit

Ladies and Gents, Boys and Girls, we have a flouncer. Watch out the door doesn't hit you in the arse on the way out.

I think Mario Frick may actually be the most famous person from Liechtenstein.

Brilliant, great comic timing, absolutely nailed this joke.

A former colleague of mine who was Russian was dating someone who was very big in the local rotary club and he took her to one of these garden parties as his plus 1. Before the event she went round everyone in the lab asking what you wear to such an event. As if we were ever likely to know.

You'd have thought she would have predicted this.

In fairness though there is actually a killer virus doing the rounds this time round. :D

I note that both democrats are currently winning in Georgia with about 40% of votes counted. In the spirit of Trump's democracy, is it acceptable to stop counting the votes now?

I'm in excellent health so my celebrity status (or lack of) would be of no interest anyway.

New oldest first-class cricketer is an Indian (again), Raghunath Chandorkar (wiki), turned 100 in November.

Sup Yall So since i joined the site in November, i have made pointless threads, done weird statements, blah blah blah I talked to Jesus Christ the other day and he said i should quit the site I talked to William Gates and he said i should quit I talked to the Reaper himself and he said i should quit My existence is a waste, so I'm leaving because of that too So before i go, i wanna say MANCESTER UNITED IS GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE Goodbye Yall

Can I just ask what it is you think the War Veterans thread should be used for then? My understanding is that those listed in that thread are generally known for reasons only to do with military battles/events, and as such most of those known for that are generally decorated to some extent anyway?

Albert Roux gets me to 15.

Congrats Reppers. (Can I call you that?) You pissed it, in the end.

That's because I just increased the daily reaction limit to 50. Might remove the limit entirely as I'm not sure if there's any technical reason for there to be one?

By that logic why don’t we just compile a DL of 90+ year olds regardless of how healthy they are? Oh, wait...
