I've lost four stone since last autumn (diet and exercise changes, trying to be healthier) and have gone down a trouser size and can safely agree I can't make head not tail of the various shops sizes. It's a matter of educated guessing and working from there

Feel Good Inc has been my biggest discovery of these polls. I had not heard it before but it is very enjoyable

I was going through Billboard's first Top 100 chart (the predecessor to the Hot 100 record chart) published on November 12th, 1955, and was surprised that at least 5 people from the chart are still with us. Those being: Pat Boone (89)- #8 At My Front Door; #21 Ain't That A Shame; #52 No Arms Can Ever Hold You Jaye P. Morgan (92)- #19 Longest Walk; #37 Pepper-Hot Baby; #68 If You Don't Want My Love Mindy Carson (96)- #33 Wake The Town And Tell The People Peggy King (94)- #61 Learnin' To Love John Perkins (92; of the Crew Cuts)-#89 Gum Drop Sadly I couldn't find any more information on session members of The Dream Weavers, The Loreleis (Marjorie Gail Menefee (Richardson) and Margaret "Peggy" Reinagle, both born around 1936), Tommy (Russ) Gilberto of The Three Chuckles (died 1981), Glendon Kingsby of The Cadets, Bill Christ of The Gaylords (died 2017), members of Ray Charles Singers (who performed on the "Autumn Leaves" record) and Matthew Platt of The Turbans, so there's a slight chance there's more of them around these days.

Rolf Schimpf's new life in the new care home - doesn't look too bad honestly: https://m.bild.de/unterhaltung/stars-und-leute/der-alte-star-rolf-schimpf-so-geht-es-ihm-nach-seinem-altenheim-umzug-65f2d13aeaf92839e9f79887

Okay, I am back at home and well begin work on the next round now. The coin toss will take place within the next hour.

I stopped playing ages ago because certain people took the fun out but wanted to say the top five here are all excellent which is a rarity for post millennium music round for me.

Sean Connery was interviewed by Michael Parkinson and bragged that, despite being 72 years of age, he could still have sex three times a night. Cilla Black, who was also a guest, looked intrigued. After the show, Cilla says, "Sean, if I'm not bein too forward, I'd luv to 'ave sex with yer. Lets go back to my 'ouse, we could 'ave a lorra fun." So they went back to her place and got comfortable. After a couple of drinks they went off to bed and had an hour of mad passionate sex together. Afterwards, Sean says, "If you think that was good, let me shleep for half an hour, and we can have better shex. But while I'm shleeping, hold my balls in your left hand and ma willie in your right hand." Cilla looks a bit perplexed, but says, "Okay." He sleeps for half an hour, awakens, and they have even better sex than before. Then Sean says, 'Cilla, that was wonderful. But if you let me shleep for an hour, we can have the besht shex yet. You'll have to......." "I know Sean. Yer want me to 'old onto yer bat 'n balls again. No problem hun." Cilla complies with the routine. The results this time are absolutely mind blowing. Once it's all over, they have a drink, Sean lights a cigarette and Cilla asks. "Sean, tell me, dis 'oldin yer balls in one hand and yer willie in de other - does it really stimulate yer that much?" Sean replies, "No, not at all Cilla, but the last time I shlept with a scouser, the f*cking bitch stole ma wallet.

Carol Ann is alive and well. I spoke to her yesterday and most times when THFC are playing. Cat was a fabulous guy, much missed and not forgotten. Amen.

It's a great bunch left, yeah. 5 of these 6 are in my playlist. You're always welcome back! Kill farming, spite and SC have all left the building.

Congratulations, @wannamaker. I was absolutely sure of your victory when the score was 0-7, because you're a sensational player. Good luck for your next round, you deserve the best.

Continuing my post in the "People I Was Surprised To Find Are Still Alive" thread, I found two names that kind of went under the radar, those being: Robert H. Robinson (of Somethin' Smith and the Redheads)-passed away at 80 in 2002 (the Wikipedia page also states that but doesn't include his death date, that's why I wrote "kind of" under the radar) Tommy Romano (of The Three Chuckles)- passed away at 84 in 2013

Jan Nicolay and Brian Dayett seemed to me the needles in the haystack, or something like that. Nobody found them both. I wonder if I could have done so, I only knew of the former. The DDT vs. max_bossetti matchup looks like an unstoppable force vs. unmovable object. Also, is this the month that Wayne Eddy dies?

Times death notice for Pearl Catlin (IMDb), British television and stage actress, aged 94. Played Stella Randell in Coronation Street in the 70s. Had other roles in The Avengers, Z Cars, Emergency-Ward 10, and Dixon of Dock Green.

I should've spent more than a split second thinking there.

I consistently stuck on the fence as evidence shows.

Those of us who lived through it - well you picked a side. He had plenty of supporters, believe me. I thought he was the most disgusting cockwomble ever - and there were plenty of contenders for that title during the Thatcher/Major years. I see Sara Keays still lives, though quiet for quite a while now.
