How about blaming the local conservatives who elected Liz Truss as leader to crash the economy inside 6 weeks? Or the local conservatives deselecting MPs who were in favour of ousting Boris Johnson for his numerous indiscretions? Seems to me they're entirely fair game for blame and deserve everything that's coming their way.

Linda Lewis (wiki) dead at 72. Mirror obit.

Being in the kind of shape to use a phone is not the same thing as being in the kind of shape to host a TV show... They didn't delay the show due to financial issues. Either Jamie Foxx told them to replace him or the network couldn't afford to wait that long. I'm not really concerned until they start making drastic changes to the movies he is starring in, especially Back in Action as he is a main producer.

Well, capybaras are pretty much giant guinea pigs, so I heartily approve.

DDP Pick too.

Wash your mouth out.

Douglas Ross, is that you?

Basically

Something tells some local Tory parties are a tad concerened about tomorrow

Give the crown to the Queen and strike a pose, there's nothing to it – VOGUE! This winner song is so stylish, is the opening act to 90s dance music, it is underground and mainstream at the same time, it is the song where I was asked while dancing on the dancefloor: “You are doing material arts, don't you?”, it is the only Rap part I can sing along with, IT IS VOGUE!!!!! And after Donna Summer and Nena* it's the third solo female winning a Kill or Save on DeathList – I am so proud of all of us, thank you very much! Vogue is an anthem, it's iconic, it's classic, it has style, it has grace, Rita Haywood gave good face... yes yes, I shut up now! VOGUE was a world wide smash, hitting No.1 in the UK, the US, Australia, Canada, Sweden and many more, also beeing a Top 5 hit in nearly every other country with a proper charts system. It said to be the highest selling single of 1990 with more than 6 million copies. While Madonna is now a figure to laugh about, she was on the top of her popularity and influence at the time of the release of Vogue. But I also would like to mention our runner-up, White Towns “Your Woman”, which was a smash at that time and a signature 90s song for me. I even bought the CD single and own it to the very day (what I ca't say abouit Vogue tbh). But now here it is, the top 25 most popular UK No.1 hits of the 90's, chosen by the DeathList Killers and Saviours: 01. Madonna – Vogue 02. White Town – Your Woman (Sir Creep) 03. Fatboy Slim – Praise you (Sir Creep) 04. No Doubt – Don´t speak (DoltonMoney) 05. Shakespear's Sister – Stay (Hell) 06. The Fugees – Killing me softly (Buffalo Phil) 07. Adamski – Killer (time) 08. Coolio ft. L.V. – Gangsta´s Paradise (theoldlady) 09. Ace of Base – All that she wants (En Passant) 10. Tasmin Archer – Sleeping Satellite (Joey Russ) 11. The Verve – The drugs don´t work (Drewsky1211) 12. Manic Street Preachers – If you tolerate this, your children will be next (theoldlady) 13. The Beautiful South – A little time (Toast) 14. The Prodigy – Firestarter (Paul Bearer) 15. Livin´ Joy – Dreamer (Joey Russ) 16. Take That – Back for good (DoltonMoney) 17. Spice Girls – Wannabe (theoldlady) 18. The Shamen – Ebeneezer Goode (Toast) 19. B*Witched – C´est la vie (DoltonMoney) 20. Britney Spears - ... baby, one more time (theoldlady) 21. Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody/These are the days of our lives (ladyfiona) 22. Madonna – Frozen (ladyfiona) 23. Whigfield – Saturday Night (Root Inspector) 24. Cornershop – Brimful of Asha (Paul Bearer) 25. Jamiroquai – Deeper Underground (theoldlady) And the Killer-Queen of the 90s is... no surprise... our @theoldladyagain! Congratulations! You should rename yourself now! 5 theoldlady 3 DoltonMoney 2 Joey Russ 2 ladyfiona 2 Paul Bearer 2 Sir Creep 2 Toast 1 Buffalo Phil 1 Drewsky1211 1 En Passant 1 Hell 1 Root Inspector 1 time A big THANK YOU to all the players in here. This game is nothing without your interset into music, the love, the hate, the discussion, the anger, the shocks and the surprises; still it is a special place in this forum. Keep it save, don't kill it, haha!! And now up tp the 60s, kill them all! *to be fair, Nena was a group at the time of 99 red balloons, but since the 90s Nena was a solo female act, so...

Danish-Brirish writer, comedian and broadcaster Sandi Toksvig is 65 today.

I thougt more for "Le Pen à l'extrême droite du Père", mix between "extreme droite" and the idea of paradise even if he would finish in hell

This came up on my playlist. 2nd best chart topper of the 90s according to some weird poll somewhere. Good to listen to it again before I go through the 60s list when I get home and most probably fall out of love with music.

Just to say in case you think it is pointless doing it, that I have very much enjoyed reading the DDP obits (especially my team's recent wee mention). Always a surprise and a chuckle here.

Now you tell me!

Don't worry, it's in my will to let Deathlist know when I drop dead.

Edit - got beaten to it.

Well, that's going great. Almost five months later and no minister or state secretaries have passed away. They can thank me for the gift of life The lack of political deaths led me to look into the wives of Dutch Prime Ministers. There have been fifteen PM's after WW2; all former ones had a wife or partner (only the current PM, Mark Rutte, is not and never publicly has been in a relationship). Partners of Dutch Prime Ministers: - Barbara Schermerhorn-Rook (1897-1986) [Schermerhorn, 1945-1946] - Jet Beel-van der Meulen (1895-1971) [Beel, 1946-1948; 1958-1959] - To Drees-Hent (1888-1974) [Drees, 1948-1958] - Maria de Quay-van der Lande (1901-1988) [De Quay, 1959-1963] - Mini Marijnen-Schreurs (1921-2013) [Marijnen, 1963-1965] - Truus Cals-van der Heijden (1915-1982) [Cals, 1965-1966] - Hetty Zijlstra-Bloksma (1921-2013) [Zijlstra, 1966-1967] - Anneke de Jong - Bartels (1915-2010) [De Jong, 1967-1971] - Mies Biesheuvel-Meuring (1919-1989) [Biesheuvel, 1971-1973] - Liesbeth den Uyl - van Vessem (1924-1990) [Den Uyl, 1973-1977] - Eugenie van Agt - Krekelberg (1930-2024) [Van Agt, 1977-1982] - Ria Lubbers - Hoogeweegen (1940-2024) [Lubbers, 1982-1994] - Rita Kok - Roukema (1939) [Kok, 1994-2002] - Bianca Hoogendijk (1960) [Balkenende, 2002-2010] The last Dutch PM's wife to pass away was Ria Lubbers in 2024, aged 83. The oldest post-war PM's wife was Anneke de Jong Bartels, who passed away aged 94 in 2010, while the oldest living one is Rita Kok (will be 85 on 3 November this year), the widow of Wim Kok.

Engelbert Humperdinck is 86. Here's a South Park quote regarding him:

Yes, I think Clive features on most teams here.

Stephen MacMillan Moser, the former Austin (TX) Chronicle society columnist who was also a fashion designer and high-profile public figure, has died at 61. Moser died about 7 a.m. Tuesday. He was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 2007 and had been under hospice care for two years. SC

41minutes. Quickest thread ever?

2 people died on this date 20 years ago: Ginger Rogers, 83, actress famous for her collaborations with Fred Astaire. Art Fleming, 70, the original host of "Jeopardy".

Oh great. Another fuck-knuckle.
