I hope you do continue. It's interesting to see people from other cultures and geopolitics. You also put in a lot of time and effort, I respect + appreciate it. Ignore the haters. When one has hatred and the desire to be miserable in their heart, they spread it on others.

A conservative voter making every world incident liberals vs conservatives..... shocking!

Nurse, he’s out of bed again.

Homer and Atlas?

Yeah, he's really sticking it to those list-makers when he gets hammered on a Friday night and logs on to post a string of irrelevant jokes/rants.

'Police identified the suspect in the attack as Hadi Matar, 24, from Fairview, New Jersey. State police major Eugene Staniszewski said there was no indication yet on a possible motive for the attack.' Who's going to tell him?

Unfortunately a vocal minority of so called liberals,hated Rushdie and I've seen people say he's a racist and islamophobe. He's Indian born and converted from Islam to atheism. He has every right to be critical of something he lived and breathed. The stereotype that is loved by Islamic extremists and that is parroted by a large chunk of the left is only far right racist Tommy Robinson types criticise Islam, it's blown out the water by an Asian ex Muslim like Rushdie. It sets a precedent now ,if Islam can't be challenged and is beyond reproach and those who dare question it are met with violence now ,imagine what'll happen when it becomes more and more of a dominant force in society. Christian, atheist, gay , feminist, free speech advocates, those who appreciate religious freedom, socialists, conservatives will all be equal in an Islamist society equal in their inequality and oppression. It's not racist/fascist to critique Islam.

Updated list...up to 1932, and I've dug out a lot of new names. Nguyễn Quyết (1922-2024) Former VP 1987-1997 and General, last living person to have held the title when it was named Deputy Chairman of the Council of State.

Huỳnh Đắc Hương (1922) Major general, former Deputy Minister of Invalids and Social Affairs who has been a party member for 80 years and participates or participated in events frequently, called a "historical witness".

I won't add pictures, but there's lots of most of them on the internet. Here's Huỳnh looking dapper in his uniform:

Danny Bonaduce, American film/television child actor, radio/television presenter and wrestler who gained fame for his role in the famous 1970s television sitcom "The Partridge Family", is 63 today.

So I take it he's not making sandwiches in his bunker anytime soon then. I should stop following Youtube channels.

Maybe they could fly her neck to New York and give it to Salman.

Erna Zahn died on 9th August according this https://www.mvfh.org/obituary/erna-zahn

English professional darts player Phil Taylor turns 62 today.

Mods. Can we ban him for being tiresome? This is worse spamming than I ever committed…

Given her record they'll be joining forces on the Christmas number one with Ladbaby instead...

A welcome hit for me thanks to Rolf Eden. https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/leute/rolf-eden-ist-tot-a-708d32b4-be7f-4f0d-86b5-1c15af5a8bf5

Some reports that he is ok.

Anne Heche to be taken off life support: https://deadline.com/2022/08/anne-heche-brain-dead-injury-taken-off-life-support-1235090375/

Ingemar Erlandsson, a member of Sweden's 1978 team has died. https://euroweeklynews.com/2022/08/11/malmo-legend-ingemar-erlandsson-dies-short-illnes/ Imagine the scenes if he gets a QO and Hellstrom doesn't....

On this day in 2005 Canadian born American journalist and TV news presenter Peter Jennings died aged 67 from lung cancer. He was the sole anchor of ABC News World News tonight from 1983 until his death in 2005.

Voiceover artist Carlo Bonomi puts the mic down aged 85. He was the original voice of Pingu globally, among others, but for me he'll always be the argot of the mighty La Linea.

It's very true what you're saying... The reclusive Trintignant, who lives in a remote French farmhouse, is really tough... He said: "I have been dead for 15 years", alluding to the violent death of her daughter by her boyfriend... Trintignant also confessed that he had stopped fighting a prostate cancer very advanced and he said: "I let myself go. I am not going to do chemotherapy"... Trintignant's resistance is amazing.
