Must be a nightmare trying to do that sport in heels..!

Ok email has been sent. Once again apologies to the few who received multiple emails. Officially official that 2024 is commenced.

It’s funny you should say that cos I didn’t want you to do that either.

Dead, apparently. On Wiki and wires. Still looking for a link though.

Wouldn't want a handjob from her!

If a beloved figure says they are doing well against cancer usually they are fucked.If a despot says they are dying they will make 3 digits.

Hi, I've been lurking here for the best part of ten years (I even drew up my own death lists for my office before Covid) and this is unbelievably the first time I've felt motivated to post. Weird to see all the different members come and go over the years. Hope I don't go too soon!

Oh, that’s hit 17 for me then ! A sad News, I learned about the Solow Paradox in high school, 10 years ago. I really thought he would have been deserving of his own spot on the list… RIP

Thomas Williams, New Zealander cardinal, dead at 93: https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK2312/S00506/rip-thomas-cardinal-williams-20-march-1930-22-december-2023.htm

The village where he lives is only a few miles from me. He is still seen out and about every so often by local shopkeepers, so if he has dementia then it's clearly not progressed to the point where he's a drooling mess. Still, he's highly respected and regarded by people here, even those who disagreed with his politics. The Tory MP who took the seat in the last election (who will almost certainly be out of a job at the next election) loves leeching off the goodwill towards him in the local newsletters he puts out.

I think you saw this video update from a fellow YT creator, and mate of hers, from a few hours ago. It certainly does not sound like a good situation. You can tell he's clearly trying to sound optimistic but it doesn't sound anywhere as good as he's trying to make it out to be.

Apparently he hasn't learned the lesson. Another change happened yesterday which I've only noticed today: Steven Schumacher has swapped Plymouth for Stoke, leaving a team 3 points and 3 places better off than their opponents, but at a severe disadvantage financially (Stoke are owned by the Coates family, who run Bet365). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67753445 This is a big one, as the only people who had Schumacher in their team were me and @Great Uncle Bulgaria, giving us both our 9th hits and making it a 5-way tie at the top! And STILL nobody has hit halfway yet!

What, at 82?

Maybe it's a tribute to the tree, that Jimmy Carter outlived? Tempted to make a Jimmy vs mymango poll.

The seaside mansion where he and his wife formerly lived in Bournemouth is up for sale for a cool 5.5million quids: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/property/article-12881427/Seaside-mansion-belonged-Max-Bygraves-market-5-5million.html Only posting because I think the Mail's take is fab: I wanna sell you a storey!

Holy shit wrong thread ! Sorry

Andy Cameron is 83. Which makes him a warlock for a Scotsman to live that long.
