Christ, that's a weird story! Baronets are by no means high aristocracy. They're pretty low in the pecking order and many of these ppl have long since stopped caring about their lineage and succession. In fact, many now live abroad. Others don't use the hereditary "Sir" because they're often embarrassed by it (Edward Mountain being one such example). I suppose you would be if you had to answer the awkward question of "so what did you get your knighthood for?”.

Hit for 4 of us

He is my MP and I can confirm he's a bit of a cunt. Everyone around here calls him Absent Adam and I know he only votes in things that benefits his business interests and he doesn't reply to people. I would be delighted if he resigned but any new election would still go to Conservatives because only place that is Labour round here is Slough or Reading. Though I know Bracknell Forest has got some Lib Dems in council seats.

Hello, I am TheCemetaryMan, Death always intrigues/puzzles me. Every time I walk through the cemetary, I always have to look at every tombstone I come across. I think to myself, I wonder who this person was? Were they a good person, an asshole, a nobody, a somebody - What is the history of them? My gf & I loves walking through them just to see the history sometimes. (No joke - we do) We did come across an abandoned cemetery once. That was fucking cool. PS - sometimes I come across as an asshole, cunt, (whatever you want me to call) Thats perfectly fine with me. I did make a shit ass new thread a few weeks ago - I think I was just angry, frustrated/annoyed. Just wanted to Vent about Cancer. I do apologize for being such a shit stain in that moment in time. We all fuck up. I own about 1,000 horror movies. When I get angry - I watch those to feel better. HAHA.

Ah whisky.Responsible for more great jokes than we will ever know.

...can't.... resist....

Not supposed to say it but I know one of the queen’s doctor who told me last week that she was « really fine » and didn’t even use her stick anymore. Didn’t tell me anything else, he can’t tell much obviously but let aside a sudden heart attack or something else, I think she’s safe for this year. will probably delete this post later I’m not supposed to tell !

Courtney Love's estranged father Hank Harrison, an early manager of the Grateful Dead, dead at 81. Harrison wrote a book basically accusing his daughter of being complicit in Kurt Cobain's death. Link isn't European friendly for some stupid reason. Wasn't Brexit supposed to sort this? http://www.galtheraldonline.com/news/hank-harrison-81-played-early-role-in-grateful-dead-history/article_999e7682-8466-11ec-bd1f-37507ad63b65.html

When Robin Thicke has the moral high ground over you, you know you've fucked up.

Long term former keeper for Bristol Rovers Howard Radford being reported dead aged 91: Surprised he isn't mentioned on the Oldest Living Footballers thread, maybe Bristol have a longer survivor @Octopus of Odstock?

Did Berniece Baker Miracle (wiki), Marilyn Monroe's half-sister die off radar? Yes, in 2014 (aged 94–95). Photo there of her grave "Berniece Miracle" with her husband's (Paris Miracle). Other sites online mention her husband by name and its an exact match. Residency sites like Spokeo and Clustrmaps also have no record of her residence beyond the mid-2010s, where she was last recording as living in North Carolina (which neighbours Kentucky) so that too would back up the FindAGrave page, even though the picture itself is strong enough evidence in itself IMO. Oh dear. Just shows why you shouldn't trust clickbait "news" sites like this, which claim she's still alive without first hand confirmation. Bad news for @John Key who has her in the Centenarian Deadpool this year, and to anyone who may have picked her on the DDP.

East Fife and Wigan Athletic alum Ron McIvor reportedly dead:

"Mr Cardiff City" and Welsh International Phil Dwyer being reported dead aged 68: Bit of drinker, seems to have blighted his later careers.

Well, it was about how the people of this island treat animals, so her animal activism got in her way. Describing it as "having savage genes" is pretty much racism, in my opinion, racism in the original sense.

Irish author of the Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley, dead after 4 years of fighting cancer, at 55: https://www.thebookseller.com/news/lucinda-riley-dies-after-four-year-cancer-battle-1263640 Hm, seems kind of sudden, and signficant. Did we miss it...
