Delete away. I've just quoted you.

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?”.

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.

For them, it’s this:

What strikes me is how many Tories expect this to blow over.It never will as people are personally connected to it sometimes in the most painful of ways.When the personal element of betrayal is highlighted by the death of a loved one or friend that will never go and his continuing presence will make those affected more and more militantly against him.This is the end but I fear and suspect a very long and painful end for BlowJo the cabinet the Tory party Parliament In General and the country.

Sir Benjamin Slade, 7th Baronet - the guy for whom (if it hadn't already been written for Harry Enfield) "that bloke's a nutter" is appropriate - requires a heavy edit on his Wiki as he appears to have a child at last by his much younger recent bit of stuff: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10478259/EDEN-CONFIDENTIAL-Eccentric-gun-nut-Sir-Benjamin-Slade-father-age-75.html But the child is a girl. Mwahahahahah - no son and heir for you. His hunt for male heir continues...

I said December 10th the premiership of BlowJo had stage 4 pancreatic cancer.Given that stage 4 pancreatic cancer has a median survival rate of 3_5 months my prediction is still on track.Him lasting several more weeks in office seems most likely.He will drag the ship down with him it is a case of when those being dragged down know they are essentially bending down in the prison showers for the soap .Reminds me of one of those slow painful drawn out deaths.

Author and motivational speaker Bob Proctor, who, along with Sandy Gallagher, co-founded the Proctor Gallagher Institute, died at 87 years.

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.

Some early game positive thinking.

Her main fault is not being Richard O'Sullivan, otherwise this would be the most popular thread on the forum.

I don't understand your animosity around this thread, I find interesting the updates about her health and I don't go around the topics and express my opinion about how poorly interested I am in every obscure actors from 1940s who died...if you aren't interested simply skip

. Shows you what I know about her.

Worth noting that the Queen will officially reach her 70 years on the throne 2 weeks from today.

Ah! Well Jim is about 16 years younger than Tommy - So unlikely dad son....I mean, they're not from an English cooncil estate! Otherwise, I have no idea...could be long lost cousins I guess, though probably the late Tommy is denying all familial relations from wherever he is. Well, wouldn't you?
