Well, @TQR, as @Sir Creep says, Scorpions has been short changed. @Clorox Bleachman gave -6 taking it from 17 to 11, but instead put it at 10, so when the Old Lady killed it, it still had 1 left. You're usually all over the scores like a hawk! Wonder how you missed this one? I quite liked the song, but its ultimate fate has been sealed for a while, so I haven't backed it. Anyway, for now I've added it to the bottom til we get a ruling.

CAE member Pan Jingfu dead at 93, the first CAE death in three months.

Scorpions should have had an extra point yesterday, when they went from 17 to 10. 08/10/23 5:08am 51 James — Sit Down 41 Seal — Crazy 40 Deee-Lite — Groove is in the Heart +4 34 B-52's — Love Shack 34 2 Unlimited — Get Ready For This 34 DNA Ft.

When did he die?

Kindly get lost with your sympathy for Palestine. They have committed and supported mass murder today. I don’t care if they all get killed. Israel needs to make sure those cunts are gone for good.

Try again

Have you ever been to Palestine, or to Israel? I've been to both. Most Arabs and almost all Israelis are opposed.

American writer, poet, author, editor, and literary critic Edgar Allan Poe died on this day 174 years ago, aged 40. He is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism and Gothic fiction in the United States, and of American literature. Poe was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story, and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction. He is the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

The cunts are the people on here who seem to be justifying mass murder.

It would have helped me a lot as I thought everyone was fucking around (I mean some were) and I thought it was weird to not feel ready to have sex aged 16-18. There wasn't even any LGBT+ groups at school or college at the time. Now when I went to college in my early 20's to retake my GCSE English I saw there was and it made me smile. I needed to hear this as a teenager:

Yes. See below:

Until one of them dies, I reckon.

My friend was telling me last night that the conspiracy theorists are trying to push a "Carter is actually dead/they're keeping him for an October surprise in 13 months" thing.

Quite an accurate reflection of life in an inner city London comprehensive then
