If you're going to quote me, at least get my sci-fi gobbledegook name right.

Plot twist: InnovationIsMySpeciality is mymango's alt account so he can have a conversation with himself about Jimmy Carter in order to get his daily fix.

Who the fuck are smokie?

Never have I seen someone try so hard to sound intelligent. A meaningless word soup.

Wilson after dirty Phil has had his way

You're just confusing me now. Why, all of a sudden are you deciding to respond to people's reactions to your ideas. When you've suggested ideas in the past, whether they be good or bad (personally I didn't dislike your social media idea), you never responded to criticism/negativity. I didn't call you pretentious, it just appeared, to me, as if you were using a lot of needlessly complex language for the sake of it in your original post on this thread.

Are you Lady Cecilia Bartholomew then?

I believe it.

I haven’t cheated by peaking but I’m going to guess he’s posted about either the Cuban-Spanish TV presenter or the Brazilian publicist?

We saw the group Smokie at the Grieg Hall in Bergen, Norway last night, October 12th. It was great fun for us all!

It was… the salmond mousse.

The wiki article says her husband and son were suffering from cancer back in 2015 but it seems her husband at least is still alive. Seeing Wang Zhenyi is 99 years old apparently and in this bad a condition, he's got to be a candidate for the immortals list next year surely.

Lord of the Undone flies.

Maybe the only reason he could get a gig on a remote island without a camera crew is because nobody wants to work with him?

Managed to finally solve the case of romance novelist Katharine Gordon (wiki). She died in West Sussex in 2005, aged 90, under the name of Katharine Hornsby. As per Ancestry she had at least 3 marriages, which made her tricky to track.

On this day 1 year ago, American basketball player, football player, and football coach Bud Grant passed away at the age of 95.

Emperor Elagabalus died on this day 1802 years ago, aged 18. - Elagabalus' birth name was Sextus Varius Avitus Bassianus, but was later known as Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. - The reason for Elagabalus' ascent to emperor at the age of 14 was due to his grandmother (the sister-in-law of emperor Septimius Severus) spreading a rumor that he was a bastard son of emperor Caracalla. Emperor Macrinus was soon defeated in a battle with soldiers who supported the claim, and then executed shortly after Elagabalus declared himself emperor. - Elagabalus would install the Persian sun god Elagabal as the head of the Roman pantheon in 220- he also took his regnal name from the deity. In order to worship him, Elagabalus would build a temple with a black rock from Persia representing the god inside it, and had himself circumcised and stopped eating pork (the later oddly similar to worshipping the Jewish God). - Elagabalus was known for his sexual deviancy (at least according to Romans) when he married a Vestal virgin- these women were sworn to remain virgin under punishment of death by being buried alive. - Some historians have put Elagabalus' gender identity into question; while it is confirmed he was bisexual, some believe he may have identified as female due to the fact Elagabalus enjoyed being referred to with female pronouns and dressing in drag. It is also believed he desired sex reassignment surgery, with one account stating he would pay a physician vast amounts of money to incise a vagina onto him. However, some believe these accounts may have been made to malign him. Regardless, Elagabalus issued a reform that allowed women to attend Senate meetings. - On the advice of his grandmother due to his declining favorability, Elagabalus elevated his cousin Severus Alexander to emperor in 221. Alexander soon received the support of the Praetorian Guard, who executed Elagabalus the following year. A damnatio memoriae was issued on him, and several statues were altered so his face was changed to that of Alexander's.
