I don't think I've ever seen such poor spelling, grammar and use of punctuation on this site, apart from maybe that of John Sulu.

Caught the end of Planet Earth III tonight during David Attenborough's talking head conclusion his face looked puffy and occasionally his words were less clear. I don't think he will beat Carter to the gates but I am all for him staying on the list into 2024

Alright you insulted my intelligence enough, kennedy if anything will take votes away from trump due to being the crank to end all cranks. And his electoral record is like all the money in my bank account: non-existent.

I actually miss hosting this, so unless I lose my ability to type, I'll be more than glad to host the No.3's

One of my friends is the kind of insane Taylor Swift fan who draws the number 13 on her hand and makes friendship bracelets with acronyms like "NGSITCATAWYD". She's been trying to make me a Swiftie for several years. Well, I went to see the Eras Tour concert film and I think my friend succeeded. Everyone has opinions about Swift, but it's cool to witness a musician taking over the world in a way that none have in my lifetime.

RFK jr is an anti-vaccine crank who posted the 1488 nazi shit a few months ago, AKA the least subtle dog whistle known to man, he's not going to take more votes from Biden, he is going to suck away Trump's votes ya cunt. Also he didn't 'just announce' his campaign, he announced he would be running as an independent rather than trying to primary biden.

It appears that there is a Russian version of the DeathList.

Aye, thought it excellent and very good on period detail (cars, the way people dealt with each other and in particular how women were treated).

Updating for the death of the lovely John Cairney. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-66739513 John Cairney speaking in 2012 about A Night to Remember (1958): "It's one of my favourite films and it seemed like a really big film to me at the time. It was a lovely story all about the realism of what could have really happened. Cameron's Titanic (1997) is very different. I think it began life as a film about the shipwreck and developed into the feature film. Theirs was very hi-tech, ours was high heart. Leonardo DiCaprio played the same part I did, which was obviously fattened out for him. But it was the lower-class guy falling in love with the girl and the class borders being broken down and, while the steerage class were locked in, my character found a way out, and so did DiCaprio's. The difference was, he was paid thousands of pounds a second and I was paid £20 a day. I think Cameron forced him into some underwater feats I could never have done and they are very different films... I really enjoyed A Night to Remember (1958), and it has lasted so well. It was film number four of my seven-picture deal with Rank at Pinewood. We would finish one, have a quick break and move on to the next one. The first I knew about it was when I was asked if I could do an Irish accent."

She hosted the locals (awfully). I'm expecting it to be her until pleasantly surprised otherwise.

Chris Mason, Nick Robinson, Jim Naughtie, or Kirsty Wark would be better options
