@Book @Bibliogryphon NB! The last two postings seem to be based on an older posting, not on @MariNisia ‘s posting. For example the last two songs should be: 08 Mario — Let Me Love You 08 Duncan James & Keedie — I Believe My Heart No one should post until this is fixed

Well that was probably the worst In Memoriam segment production the Oscars have come out with to date. Over produced, annotations not legible, and dancers(!!) on stage that stole all the focus. How do they get this wrong every fucking year and STILL manage to make it worse every single time?

Tommy Duncan, former outside left for Airdrie who became manager of Queens Park, reportedly dead:

Is there a jug eared Ken to go with it?

I had a feeling this'd be one of the first out of the door unfortunately, but somehow I find it charming. I'd probably think it was a load of guff if it was released 5-10 years later than it was but it's one of those songs that transports me back to a simpler time: round my nan and grandad's with my cousins, sofa-headbanging to whatever the music channels were playing. Oh to be in a worry-free world.

Brilliant! That's one of the great things about this game: players listening to the songs they didn't already know and perhaps finding some new stuff they're into.

Voting down Rachel cos she had her chance last round and she fucked it.

Jacques Delors passed 12/27/2023. It appears your sub Oscar Wyatt, would take his place on your list.

Although she undoubtedly wears a lot of makeup, she still looks great for someone in their 90s.

Truly, I don't get any negative comments about her appearance. She still looks excellent for her age, and she doesn't look too fat nor too thin/gaunt, either. She also doesn't look like one of those old celebrities who have had so much plastic surgery that they appear to be rubber-faced lizard people. May she live another decade, at least!

So who will be the next for you ? I would Say Philippe de Gaulle

Ahah "bizarre autant qu'étrange"
