Don’t know about anyone else, but I’m getting a bit pissed off with your posts about her. Official warning……… mention it again on another thread, you’ll be put on mod preview.

Faustin Twagiramungu, 6th Prime Minister of Rwanda (1994-1995), reportedly dead.

only the og’s remember big bazza b

Sandra Day O'Connor is the biggest hit in the Time magazine category. With 12 out of 27 Teams scoring. @MortalCaso gets their first hit of the game and @gcreptile and @Spade_Cooley share the lead on 7 hits. However the most important result is that gcreptile and @msc both move into winning position by both needing a Brit winner to fill their card

Spanish actress Concha Velasco (Wiki) dead at 84

Tbf PB, he offers a bit of comedy relief which makes a nice change from the usual infighting on here. If I were you I’d just let him burn himself out.

Get back to me when Meghan attempts a hostile takeover of Jeopardy. Then I will understand the hatred.

Long time no bee, toast You + my honey makes a perfect match with love, keep it real in the hive, BBB

It’s been a good week for my top 50…Carter, Kissinger and O’Connor all hits. Sadly too far down the list for DDP success but Jimmy is still offering…

The joke has already gone so stale. I don’t see how people find it to be anymore amusing than any poster posting a no namer nonstop

Meh, it's Christmas. I'm trying to be accommodating. Besides, the bastard Wombles are at the top so he's hardly the only one with a fucking problem

So, summat I'd lost sight of, obits say he leaves his dad - Maurice!

Yes events this year have created a lot of confusion in my mind about my strategy and approach next year! Which picks from this year would be disrespectful enough to die as soon as I drop them and which wouldn't!!? Quite the dilemma!

Former Mr Universe, British bodybuilder Shaun Davis, reportedly dead: https://generationiron.com/bodybuilder-shaun-davis-passed-away/

Marie of Anjou was born in Angers and died 560 years ago in Poitou at the age of 59, she was queen consort of France as wife of Charles VII of France, Claudio Monteverdi was born in Cremona and died 380 years ago in Venice at the age of 76, he was an Italian composer, conductor, singer and gambitist

Nearly 2 years late to the party with this (doing some longlist research) but just for any other visitors to this page - when she retired in 2005, it wasn't due to personal ill health (although she was interested in retiring). Her husband had Alzheimer's and she wanted to care for him until he passed - he died in 2009. Her retirement was actually delayed due to the death of Chief Justice Rehnquist from cancer around the same time. John Roberts was nominated for O'Connor's Associate Justice slot and ended up as Chief instead! After her husband's death, I think she did lead a relatively healthy and lively retirement until recent years. So this isn't just a history lesson, and since her thread is lacking in any detail about her condition, she survived breast cancer in the late 80s and in late 2018 announced she was withdrawing public life due to a diagnosis of dementia, possibly Alzheimer's (like her husband). https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659816933/sandra-day-oconnor-says-she-has-dementia-withdraws-from-public-life

Gustavo Cerati hits the bucket after a 4 year long coma. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-2743946/Argentine-rock-star-Gustavo-Cerati-dies.html

I am feeling a bit sorry for Mr. Reaper. The Courtney Love thread seemed to be taking over the "mad as a mongoose" crown. So, for the sake of GR's sanity, a nice little piece about Mr. Doherty - who is still King of the 'Crackpots'! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml...ixartright.html DWB
