Why the fuck are you a motorcyclist at 9?

Fuck. Reform are getting at least one vote after all.

Legendary French actress Anouk Aimée dead at 92. She was frail from sometimes. (She was known notably to be the partner of Jean-Louis Trintignant : « A Man and A Woman » movie of Claude Lelouch) An other huge loss for French cinema this year.

Page 110, now this thread is supercentenarian.

Thanks for letting us know.

Chuwit Kamolvisit now receiving palliative care according to Thai media.

Julian Forsyth, who played Adolf Hitler in the various Nazi Megastructures docu-series, reportedly dead: Stage and screen actor who on a lighter note had parts in Eastenders, Casualty and Holby City, as well as a turn in A Touch Of Frost and most recently as Dr Wagner in Ted Lasso. Stage credits include the original London Productions of Wicked and Gone With The Wind and ENO's West End revival of Sunset Boulevard (playing Cecil B DeMille).

You know, I often mused that we would hear of Chomsky's death from a Kurd, rather from his family, his peers, or indeed the press. No family statement, no dead in this case. Until told otherwise of course. (This follows tikkety tok reports of the deaths of Bruce Willis and Ozzy Osbourne in recent days).

Being reported dead on Twitter, could just be a hoax however. Waiting on official confirmation.

Labour social media team on their game once again

He looks like he gambled on the spiciest curry at a dodgy Indian restaurant and he's just realised he isn't going to make it to the bathroom in time.

Turkish report: original post has been taken down, so almost surely hoax.

"Late kick-offs have become controversial with supporters because while they allow broadcasters to show more live games, they make it more expensive for travelling fans, many of whom have to book overnight accommodation." How about moves to increase late-night public transport across the country? I have to miss all sorts of evening events because the trains don't run late enough to get me home.

Not aimed at anyone in particular, but

Promise?

Once again are we sure we aren't living through an episode of The Thick of It

First woman to win the Whitbread Book Of The Year Award with Theory Of War, Joan Brady - American-British author - reportedly dead (paywall): https://www.bookbrunch.co.uk/page/article-detail/joan-brady-dies-at-84/

Billy Abercromby, a St Mirren legend playing around 300 games for them has died aged 65 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Abercromby

You'll be relieved to know that 2014-15 is a smaller round than the two 65-song extravaganzas we've tackled so far. It's only a 61-song round.

Only one person who posted their team before me and still a duplicate pick. Replaced him with Michael Heseltine.

I think this is not entirely correct, @Bibliogryphon. The second hit of this team was Mark Damon.
