Very sad about Eric Carle. RIP

Report of the death of former Labour MP (and successor to Michael Foot) for Blaenau Gwent, Llew Smith from cancer:

Well this is awkward because that is not a qualifying obituary as the rules on page 1 clearly state it needs to be in English. However This is a QO but it is for Eric Carle who is my pick. Apologies to @chilean way

And husbands. I'm in this picture and I don't like it. RIP Mr Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fischer Burton Burton Warner (Fortensky) Apparently she absolutely hated being married to a United States senator for more than the obvious reasons. Wasn't allowed to wear purple because it was politically controversial. I'd not put up with that either.

I have never seen a single episode of "Friends".

As do many pictures of Alan Brazil. Just a matter of time, then

Just to add on Scotland has now started listing deaths from the vaccine. If only started recently and it's lists in its recent list 3 deaths. They'll parade 3 covid daily deaths all over the news but they will bury these 3 deaths from the vaccine. https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/05/22/covid-19-vaccine-officially-listed-as-the-underlying-cause-of-death-multiple-times-by-scotland-authorities/amp/?__twitter_impression=true https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/british-model-dies-cyprus-astrazeneca-vaccine-b937107.html
