If even Jason Carter says so…

Maybe late to the party, but I absolutely loved Françoise Hardy.

Casting my mind back to my mother, she was scheduled to have six doses of chemo at three-week intervals, so that would have been 18 weeks (she didn't make it to the end). But chemo is different for every person, it's not a one-size-fits-all. Let's not forget Catherine had a major op before this, which by itself could easily take at least six months to recover from. I wish her a quick and complete recovery as I don't have her in any pools.

5-1... Not going to lie, this was a much better german team than I expected. I assume though that the one goal for Scotland will also give them enough reason to drink, so it all seems fine.

Spanish actor Angel Aranda (Wiki) dead at 89 He was another victim of a death hoax in 2000 but fortunately I submit a deletion for that date on IMDb

That was....wow. Fucking hell. Spoiler tags don't work on my phone so I'll say no more, Rover.

So wow that is a 9/10 mainly because i'm still in shock.

Ah yes, 2015. NF had resigned, Prick Clegg had resigned, then Ed Miliband resigned while they were filming. And to think that was seen back then as a chaotic day in politics!

Wouldn't 'who will be the opposition following the election' be a more interesting question?

Farage bleating earlier that he's not getting enough coverage. The cunt is everywhere ffs

Reports that Kevin Campbell is a goner: Awaiting the usual confirmations.

Matija Sarkic, Montenegrin international, signed for Millwall dies after a sudden illness at just 26: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-matija-sarkic-dead-millwall-33036063

James K. Polk died on this day 175 years ago, aged 53. - Polk attended the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and his roommate was also a politician- William Dunn Moseley, who later became the first American governor of Florida during the former's presidency. - Polk was elected to the Tennessee Senate in 1823, and would be elected to the US House of Representatives a mere two years later. He was a huge fan of Andrew Jackson (particularly thanks to his war hero status in the War of 1812), and would become one of the biggest critics of the John Quincy Adams administration; Polk advocated for the abolition of the Electoral College (due to Adams' "corrupt bargain" with Henry Clay) and would agree with Jackson's anti-National Bank stance. - Polk was elected Speaker of the House in 1835, continuing to advocate for Jacksonianism into the Van Buren presidency. He would then be elected governor of Tennessee in 1839, losing re-election in 1841 by a mere 3,000 votes. - During the 1844 election, former president Martin Van Buren was seen as the frontrunner for the Democrats' nomination, and Polk would try to convince electors to make him Van Buren's running mate. However, slavery expansion advocates in the south detested Van Buren's abolitionist views, and determined Polk would make for a good compromise. Polk would be nominated on the ninth ballot at the Democratic National Convention, and the Polk-Dallas ticket would win 170-105 in the Electoral College. - Polk's presidency was largely about expansion of the United States, as the country went to war with Mexico in 1846. The US won the war, and would gain a very large amount of land from Mexico (that included California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Oklahoma). Polk would also gain part of the UK's Oregon territory south of the 49th parallel (others wanted "54'40 or fight"). Due to the amount of land gained in such a short amount of time, Polk is often considered one of the most underrated US presidents by historians. - Polk declined to seek reelection, and died just three months after leaving office due to cholera- the shortest post-presidency of any US president who didn't die in office.

'The Day Before You Came' is without doubt Abba's finest hour. But I've never felt the same about 'The Winner Takes It All' since https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7uhqbe

The Day Before You Came is absolutely a masterpiece. Love it. Close run thing, personally, between that and The Winner Takes It All for their best song.

Knighted and becomes Dame Tracey Emin.

I'm RoverAndOut, and I approve this message. (I don't hate you Carly, your song's a bop, but it's too sugary and doesn't make my top 7 - also, it was EVERYWHERE).

Zero chance Labour or any majority government will bring in PR without being forced to by a coalition agreement. Even then it might only be a referendum which probably wouldn’t pass.

God, I'd love to see it, but I don't dare hope. She'll be back, I fear. Although why anyone would want her as their MP I cannot fathom.

Angolan Fernando José de França Dias Van-Dúnem, former Prime Minister and President of the National Assembly, has died aged 89.

His death wasn't that interesting but what happened after the fact really was. Paolo Roberto Braga died earlier that day but someone was trying to take advantage of him after death. His so called niece Erika de Souza Viera Nunes took his corpse in a wheelchair to the bank in order to secure a loan of 17000 Real (about €3000,-). He wouldn't sign (obvious!) but she kept the act alive (...) by holding his head and fingers as if he was a muppet. A bank teller became suspicious due to his pale complexity and her act and filmed the exchange.... .....all for you you to see on YouTube
