Out of the question. My scoring would no longer be the most accurate representation of my opinion. I mean, I can't bear the music of Oasis, but Jesus Fannyfarting Christ, Dido??? I count a grand total of two songs in this godforsaken round less tolerable than White Flag, and one of those was Shane Richie. I know White Flag sold well but that has never mattered here; never in my wildest fucking cheese nightmares did I expect it to survive more than half the round. I promise, I'll be much nicer and much happier when the next round starts

That's very sweet of you, but I don't expect this post to garner a load of likes

new photo about Juan Vicente today, he looks very good for a man of 114.75

My former Labour MP Tommy McAvoy reportedly dead: Absolute fat waste of space who went to London and did nothing but write a column for the Rutherglen Reformer once a month. Very much typical of those Labour MPs who took their vote for granted.

Have you factored in that mine and Sir Creep’s goes will, as he is forever determined to ensure, be polar opposites? (before I ban him again, that is )

Directed Anybody's Nightmare starring Patricia Routledge about the Sheila Bowler case from the nineties. I was tempted to pick Bowler for my Oldies DDP team last year but iirc there were rumours she died off radar a few years ago so wasn't worth the risk.

Douglas Hurd and Norman Tebbit also starting to feel like they immortal,

Good luck getting anything useful out of that tosser.

Except the immortal Frank Field. I've picked him, so he's got a bye to 2025.

Slovenian Milan Arnejčič was born in Maribor and died aged 81, he started playing for Železničar Maribor and helped them win the 1960 Slovenian regional cup by scoring two of his club's four goals in the final victory over NK Ljubljana. 1960, moved to NK Maribor, in 1969, he joined Red Star Belgrade https://vecer.com/sport/poslovila-se-je-legendarna-devetka-iz-ljudskega-vrta-10351997

I bet you a groat that the one who's done that is from a posher family than Arthur Balfour.

8th March In which i'm so fed up of Justin Timberlake I downvote him -6 to try and get him to 0. 46 Dido — White Flag 45 Busted — Year 3000 44 Pink — Get The Party Started +4 43 X-Press 2 ft.

They may have a point, mind. Something the hard-core believers in the alien crash at Roswell frequently ignore is that The Fund for UFO Research, exactly what you'd think it was, collecting money to investigate UFO cases with a view to gathering such good evidence the scientists and other sceptics (that spelling because we're talking Americans here) would be convinced, never spent more time, or money on one case than it did on Roswell. They despatched someone clearly prepared to believe the alien story and the case turned to shit in front of him, majorly. Alleged witnesses who'd made it all up, basic "facts" that were nothing of the sort and so many inconsistencies all over the place that the resulting book would likely make a decent stage musical. The Project Mogul mishap is blatantly the best candidate for what crashed on the Foster Ranch and if it wasn't that Project Mogul launch then - considering the tonnage of ufologists and television crews who've scoured the ground, brought in ground penetrating radar and the like - it's a wonder nobody's seen that fucking balloon train. So, almost certainly, it was that debris recovered in July 1947. Book cover below, oh aye and...there's a really good ASSAP webinar on the subject called Roswell, Ufology's Greatest Hit? (totally unbiased opinion there!!)

What an amateur. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has officers way older than that. I hope they don't waste space in the ground by burying her.

Attila the Hun?

Unless Mel decided to become a recluse at some point in the past 10 months, long after COVID was a day-to-day threat, then this is just another internet "free-thinker" believing whatever he's told by someone else.

Diane Abbott has been in the Commons today so her health might have stabilised or improved.

Salah Larbes, who was in Algeria’s squad at the 1982 WC, has died aged 71. He played two games, against West Germany and Chile.

From the now-locked 2008 I & P thread: Another name to add to the mix: Sabina Yasmin, an entertainment colossus in Bangladesh, is seriously ill with cancer. She would probably get an obit via the BBC South Asia pages, which often report Bollywood & other entertainment figures from that part of the world. 16 years on, Yasmin has cancer again - https://www.thedailystar.net/entertainment/music/news/sabina-yasmin-diagnosed-cancer-again-3550946

As well as hitting Denis Breakwell for six successive sixes (across consecutive overs).
