So what you’re saying is if the drive-bys don’t get them, the drive-throughs will.

Favourite tweet about the latest regarding Prince Philip:

I asked a friend about this today. He wasn't sure but thinks the Prince is in hospital with renal issues. Pretty common in older people. How serious it is I'm not sure. My own gran was in and out of hospital like a yo-yo with it for years in her 80s and 90s. Heart failure got her in the end though.

What makes him think he'd be welcome?

Dead. https://tbivision.com/2021/02/19/flame-media-founder-ceo-john-caldon-passes-away/

If x = < 2 then I would be in and it would be a good alternative global pool with an interesting USP.

@arghton, there are some serious problems with this pool: 1)It won't be over in a reasonable time. Having to pick young people for countries in which you could not find better means this will last about thirty years. I'll be long dead (or hopefully very demented) in thirty years. 2)Only you and me are playing. Theres should be more competitors. My proposal is to turn this into a "One for Continent" game like @Youth in Asia suggested. It would be much quicker and many rounds could be done, like in the Silver Screen Pool, and there surely will be much more partecipation. Obviously that's one of your games, so the final decision is up to you.

Princess Margaret had much more severe health issues than the Duke of Edinburgh though. I'm still not reading too much into this in all honesty, I still expect him to be discharged sometime next week. Think they're just being careful - no significant signs of concern from the family just yet.

Philip. Also, this year is the earliest to four correct predictions in deathlist history.

John Caldon, Australian media man who is CEO and Chair of Flame Media (who also have U.K. based projects) is listed under “Prayers” at Westminster Abbey. He’s also the partner of Aussie presenter Lyndey Milan (wiki). Don’t know anything more than that but borderline obit territory.

How?

Watching some of the new episodes taped second half of 2020 and imo this is correct. He's certainly got the post-stroke look and sound to him like Andrew Marr when he returned to TV.

Prince Markie Dee, member of The Fat Boys, has died aged 52. Obituaries: The Independent, Daily Mirror, Metro, The Sun, Daily Mail.

Harry is a much, much closer likeness to Philip than James Hewitt. And he has the colouring of his mother's side of the family. I have more belief in the claims Andrew is the result of an affair between the Queen and Lord Porchester, in all honesty.

Who else? Kissinger? Cheney? Dan Quayle? The Orange one?

Shut up bigot.

Friday: 516 - King Hygelac of the Geats gets cunted by the Franks.

I'm already looking forward to voting in May and possibly being able to talk to an actual person like when the library was open. Had to move across the country really suddenly so I never had the chance to meet anyone here before all this. And my lease prevents me having any pets, FML. Next door got seven guinea pigs before lochdown though so I might take a few of those once I'm allowed to do more than chat over the fence. Put wee rosettes on them. I bet there's at least one looks like a Tory.

And even if it doesn't my historical ability to finish 3rd in any 2 horse race certainly does. I also hold the arguably higher moral ground with three actual thesps. Another poor omen. The ignominy of my valiant luvvies being beaten by: A basketball player A right wing shock jock and Has to be pretty close to a nailed on certainty. Let's not forget the possibility of a late showing from the remainder of the field, which when I looked, was not multiple teams of healthy 20 year olds.

Is aid the same thing to mine. She switched the lights off.

Celso Güity, honduran football forward who played in the 1982 World Cup has died at 63 https://hondudiario.com/2021/02/12/fallece-en-ee-uu-celso-fredy-guity-exmundialista-con-honduras-en-espana-82/ (in spanish)

Did he play in the same Swansea team as you?

I don't think he'll make 2022 but worth flagging that 94-year old American poet Robert Bly (wiki) has been suffering from Alzheimer's from at least 2012 (when his daughter made it public) and released his last piece of collection of poems in 2013. Not a DDP pick unfortunately. Legendary actress Frances Sternhagen (wiki), only ever once floated as an idea on DL, hasn't appeared in anything since 2014. She turned 91 last month. I can't find anything on her from the last 5 years. No interviews, photos, health updates. Nada. Ill? I'm not the only one who suspects so as she's a pick for two DDP teams.
