Ali Orumian (Wiki) dead at 91

You see, that’s the thing about this game. A truly brilliant poster I really respect has just done a vote that is so opposite to my tastes it took a fair while to convince myself it wasn’t a personal attack.

FFS this is a war of attrition now Will there be more scoring Deathrace deaths before I run out of dodgy bad taste mock ups of well known toys used in inappropriate ways?

Frances Manners, The Dowager Duchess of Rutland, has died aged 86.

They seem to truly believe that yet another new leader and being even more rabid about small boats/Rwanda will solve all their woes. Do they not do polling anymore, or is it just a skim of the Daily Mail and Telegraph comments?

They're staring oblivion in the face so it seems any desperate measure is to be considered. Like I said on this thread not that long back, if they go through with this every PMQs for the newbie includes every other party leader opening up their alloted time by pointing out that's three in a row unelected by the people and not so much asking for as demanding an election. The lack of anything innovative in Tory policy tells you all you need to know about their private polling turning up nothing by way of a useful idea of what they could do to convince the public to elect them next time. Tory toast by way of a few blistering by-election defeats, more internal meltdowns and a damning verdict when they finally face the electorate, Sunak's present predicament is little more than a distraction.

Winfield Dunn failed to attend the Winfield Dunn dinner in December. He looked very frail last year in January and also has a very long history of heart problems, another one who's had a pig heart valve surgery. It seems quite a miracle he's made it to 96. Ariyoshi also seems to be in declining health, he's been quite frail for the last five years and I can't find anything on him since late 2022. The last living US governor to have served in WWII will probably be either Dan Evans (he looked frail in those images from 2020 you'll see if you google his name, but looks amazing for his age here, from October) or George Nigh who walks with a cane now but otherwise looks fine.

So, watching the news this morning. Once again it’s an election year and once again it’s how dangerous the world is and global threats etc etc. Straight out the “ we are going to lose an election, better tell the public how scared they should be” playbook. This isn’t going to work, the Tories are the ones responsible for a 40 thousand reduction in our armed forces.

This would have been TWO hits for my Made In Detroit team had I bothered to turn it in. You’ve done your homework @alt obits guy if you’re finding links to the Metro Times.

Karl Volkmer (wiki), Swiss sprinter at the 1948 Summer Olympics, died on 19 December, aged 101. He was the 2nd oldest living competitor from the 1948 Games, and the 5th oldest overall.

Since I joined this forum in 2008, Uga IV, Uga VII, Uga VIII, Uga IX and now Uga X have died. They should really stop breeding flat face dogs like English bulldogs and pugs for peoples' amusement. They're riddled with health problems and their existence is cruel – they can barely breathe.

Better known for his work with Boney M, I would say. As well as producing their records he also provided the male vocal parts mimed by Bobby Farrell on stage. "Oh, those Russians!"

Former Guardian columnist, two-time murderer and serial fantasist/liar Erwin James dead at 66.

@Sideik... you're probably right, Clint Eastwood has a twin brother who wants his money :

That would explain the celibacy, I guess.

I'm here for the end of the round! Good timing. Some good killing there too; if Buttercup had made it I might've thrown the game away tbh. Right, time for the final shootout!

You had to quote that entire long post including ten huge images in order to post two words?

Update: It's still not closed

Writing extremely long titles is as important to Gooseberry's brand as celebrity pregnancies, thirsting over 1950s men, and the emoji. Never change, Gooseberry. Make the title longer if anything.

A very long explanation of a man who knows trigger words. This is a large word salad that concludes with the ridiculous. I am very sure this indivedual is at best being funny. The actual thought of turning ones thoughts into plant life, although interesting, not something a man like Jimmy Carter would do. I am sure that President Carter is awaiting his reunion with his wife and just hoping it comes soon. Jimmy Carter may have come up short as a U.S. President, but he was a great humanitarian and actually quite inteligent. Lets give him a little more respect than this.
