Sinclair Hood (wiki), British archaeologist known for his excavations in Greece, dead just short of 104 (obit in Greek). A DDP pick for original Theme Team League winners Gray Panthers.

I don't know why the Trump supporters haven't called out CNN for even more Fake News. They claim that he will be the first President in 152 years to skip his successor's inauguration. Incorrect. I've never seen any photos of President Kennedy at Johnson's inauguration! #AlternativeFacts Jokes aside, this is technically false as Nixon buggered off from the White House about half an hour before Ford was sworn in.

Mentioned by @arghton here. I think it's been a while since this point was stressed, so worth mentioning again: IF news of their death is being posted in a thread that is not their own (e.g. Deaths in 2021, ALS etc.), please include the name of the person you're talking about in your post so that it's searchable for other members, and most importantly easy to find for the people trying to run the DDP.

I follow the Royal Family on Facebook because they are just lovely! The comments left though are, on the whole, quite fucking irritating. All’s it takes is for one unfortunate poster to mix HRH titles with HM titles and they all pounce! THAT TITLE BELONGS TO THE QUEEN! And then they explain it in the most pompous way possible, taking sharp inhales of their own farts as they go. My most favourite posts are the ones which involve anything to do with the Duchess of Cornwall. Even if she personally discovered the cure for cancer, if she is in the picture the Diana fans would react with angry face emojis. The reason they are my most favourite is I hate Diana fans and enjoy replying to their deranged comments usually along the following lines: Allegation: Diana died because of you! My usual reply: the paparazzi didn’t chase her down that tunnel because Camilla wanted photos of Diana. They did it because obsessed fans like you wanted more pictures. Allegation: When middle aged women note that Camilla is fat and ugly compared to Diana. My reply: It was comments like that which led to Diana spewing up her ringer on a regular basis. Through these efforts I’m hopeful of an MBE from King Charlie...because clearly they read the comments section.

Lung cancer survivor from heavy smoking with heart problems that have him in and out of the hospital. Big miss.

In theory no, Its the lack of tolerance, or even acknowledgment, of other points of view that makes you a bigot. The vast majority (as in all) of fundamentalist prolifers refuse to consider any other viewpoint, even insisting that a baby conceived as a result of rape or incest, or where the health of the mother is at risk, is carried to full term. Thats bigoted.

Does being opposed to abortion, including for moral, religious and spiritual reasons, automatically make you a bigot?

Votes again and looks good. Soon the centenarians list will be only made of Asian and Africans, they are fucking invincible...

I've been anorexic for 2 years back when I was 18-19, it was the worst period of my life, people don't understand how hard this addiction is, I wouldn't wish it even to my worst enemy. Every time that I find Eugenia's videos online, I have tears in my eyes, I wish her all the very best and I hope that someday she'll be able to say that it's behind her.

Admittedly, nicked from online but... Q - What's the difference between Trump and Phil Spector? A - People will remember Spector's wall!

Just in from work to discover that I've won - I'm well chuffed! Nice to get a deadpool win under the belt so early in the year. MPFC suggested that I would have practiced my gracious "its down to luck" victory speech. To hell with that false humility - I won because I am fucking awesome . Note the masterful use of reverse psychology on the Reaper himself - on Monday I suggested that a pick on my team granted immunity from the ravages of Covid-19 - 6 days later he has taken three of them. Just goes to show, he's only human (or summat). Thanks to everyone for their kind words. Thanks also to everyone for a good game. Commiserations in particular to Banana - I knew I had a decent team when the teams were published and most of my best picks were on his/her teams also. Ultimately the Floyd Little joker proved decisive - seems that you just can't trust the Covid picks. Thanks to MPFC for running a great pool. Its my first time playing it, and I enjoyed it immensely (but briefly ) I look forward to locking horns with everyone again in the Cup.

Just heard a vicious rumour doing the rounds; Covid vaccine supplies will run out by the end of next week. Pfizer Chiefs are predicting a riot...

Who knew a place with people who have been here for years obsessing about people that could die would be so unwelcoming A new thread isn't the end of the world for this woman that I've never heard of.

Trump dies from the virus. He goes to Hell where the Devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do," says the Devil. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got three people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves." Trump thought that sounded pretty good so he agreed. The devil opened the first room. In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed over and over and over, such was his fate in Hell. "No!" Trump said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long." The Devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No! I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!" commented Trump. The Devil opened a third door. In it, Trump saw Bill Clinton lying naked on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Trump looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this." The Devil smiled and said, "Monica, you're free to go!"
