This year is depressingly bad at deaths.

You are terribly wrong and should feel stupid.

Queen Elizabeth I died on this day 421 years ago, aged 69. - Elizabeth's education comprised of her reading classical literature and learning many languages- among which is the now critically endangered Cornish language. - Elizabeth's older half-sister Mary I would imprison her in the Tower of London in 1554 on baseless accusations that she was involved in Wyatt's Rebellion. She would be freed the following year, and her half-brother-in-law Philip II of Spain would mentor her in preparation of her succession to the throne, which occurred upon Mary's death in 1558. - Elizabeth's early reign consisted of church reforms to compromise with England's Catholic population, and also took measures to separate church and state by making the clergy follow her laws, and repeal some laws against heresy. - While Elizabeth is called the "Virgin Queen", she did go on many dates, and was engaged twice. Some doubt her virginity claims to be 100% true, however- albeit she did not have any children of her own. - The "Elizabethan Era" largely refers to her later reign, particularly the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the rise and mysterious fall of the Roanoke colony, and the writing of many of Shakespeare's greatest plays. An often overlooked aspect of this time was the establishment of relations between England and the Ottoman Empire, and England hoped the Ottomans would help them in their war against Spain. - Elizabeth is believed to have died from a fatal bout of pneumonia- in the days before her death, she would sit on cushions and refuse to get into bed, possibly due to the realization of what being bedbound symbolized. - With Elizabeth's death, the Tudor dynasty came to an end, and the Stuart dynasty began when James I and VI was declared king.

Looking fantastic for 95

This pissing idiot. They're not exactly in a position to transform people's lives when they haven't been in power for 14 years, you massive mewling wank.

He looks amazing and seems like such a down to earth man that just wants to enjoy life.. I have him now on my shadow list, and even though I agree maybe his spot should go to another, my luck will be I boot him off and something sudden will happen to him and I will kick myself for not having him on the list. Kind of like Dick VanDyke. Looks like he could live another 5 years but a sudden heart attack or stroke can make a difference when we all get up in the 90s

But…you were backing the song. The fuck happened?

I can't take him seriously as someone I know has fucked Owen and said he was crap in bed

I have never bought a football shirt It is a two inch embroided logo on the rear of the collar. If anyone had bought the shirt would they a) have noticed it or b) considered it to be anything other that a decoration. Someone has gone looking for this an brought it to the attention of everyone and Kier Starmer has fallen into their trap. Lee Anderson said last year that the only way the Conservative stood any chance at the next election was by stoking culture wars. This is just a pawn in the game and the real scandal is probably the price and the supply chain issues.

Blimey after reading that maybe the committee wont need to pick 50 names for 2024

It's quite convenient for some to say, well after the fact, "I didn't know" or "I had no choice." Hans Werk, the man labeled "Former Nazi" in the headline in question, does not claim he was forced to comply against his will.

Facebook reminds me that 9 years ago today several of us were indulging ourselves at this place: Probably about time we did something similar again before we're all too old (OK, before I'm too old)!
