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.

Why do people think his accent in Mary Poppins is bad. I am from London and it is actually a good accent.

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

This man’s living to 100, if I’m wrong you all have permission to raid my hive with love, BBB shoutout to the dead bees who got smoked out in my block :( where mary poppins when u need her

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

"What's the difference between Richard Nixon and Donald Trump??" "Nixon had a problem with Kissinger; Trump had a problem with Grabbing-her."

Not a good week for retired political guys in America, is it???? Who will be next????

Three US political figures in a matter of a few days. Wow.

After seeing Jimmy Carter at his wife’s funeral I’m picking him.

American actress Natalie Wood died on this day 42 years ago, aged 43. Wood started acting at age four and was given a co-starring role at age 8 in Miracle on 34th Street (1947). As a teenager, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), followed by a role in John Ford's The Searchers (1956). Wood starred in the musical films West Side Story (1961) and Gypsy (1962) and received nominations for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performances in Splendor in the Grass (1961) and Love with the Proper Stranger (1963). Her career continued with films such as Sex and the Single Girl (1964), The Great Race (1965), Inside Daisy Clover (1965), and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969).

Ruffo Tumbles As if poor Australia wasn't busy enough mourning Rolf Harris – Johnny Ruffo has died of brain cancer at the age of 35. Coming to fame as a finalist in 'The X Factor Australia' (the Australian version of The X Factor) in 2011, he went on to win 'Dancing with the Stars Australia' (the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars) in 2012. He also pursued a pop career, with ARIA top 30 hits including 'On Top' – a song about where he keeps his tumours – and 'Take It Home', which includes the haunting lyric "I love the way she mess with my head", a prophetic shout-out to the brain surgeons who'd one day try to save him. In 2013, he turned to acting, playing the role of Chris Harrington in 'Home and Away Australia' – sorry, 'Home and Away' – until he left in 2016 "to pursue new challenges". Unfortunately, he got his wish, being diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2017. 5 years later, he was triggering deadpoolers' Google Alerts on the phrase "one last Christmas". So how's this update for players – rough? Oh, not really – only 11 of you picked him, and most of those 11 put him near the bottom of their team, so they're not doing too badly. Just Ruffo round the edges, you might say. The race for last place is a marathon, not a sprint – after 0 points for the first 5 hits, and 79 points for the last 5 hits (including 15 from Ruffo), @Alcalina is now in the running for the coveted #50 spot. A beautiful underdog story. However, @msc, who was already on 79 points, defends his status as biggest loser, gaining an extra 5 points to consolidate his "lead". More interestingly, we do have movement on our actual lead, as one of our three remaining 0-pointers has become a 7-pointer: @Book has booked it down the leaderboard to 5th. Book 'em, Ruffo! 2 players remain on 0 points: @LizLemon and @tracy. That feels like destiny. GAINED TOTAL = 1. LizLemon 0 = 1. tracy 0 ▲ 3. Spade_Cooley 1 ▲ 4. Grimgrass 4 ▼ 5.

Frankie Manning, considered one of the founders of Lindy Hop, died on this day 10 years ago, aged 94.

Well, if the socks match the cravat, you're set, wardrobe-wise that is. BTW - the socks sound HOTT! Not as hot as the matching cravats. My Sister and I had a similar experience with deerstalkers one year. I bet your mother wasn't evil enough to make you wear them to school though.
