It's not funny, obviously, but this from his Wikipedia entry just slayed me: "I'm not a bad guy, I only raped 70 people....."

Congratulations to Sajid Javid on his appointment as Home Secretary

There will be no reception

Bit of a woopsie on the host's end there, Eamon de Valera died in 1975.

From an evening bag to a body bag

Probs best we keep that here The alternative is yet another thread called "Been to any shit gigs recently?"

Submitted a team just in case I make it through.Will reveal later after I am knocked out.

It's interment NOT internment. My blood is roiling at the ignorance of the people on here ...Tut

Sir Creep's Month-to-Month Tenants for May are sent in. Unlike the previous two months (7 hits), I actually like my prospects, meaning I shall score a solid nil. SC

Interesting cuz dimes to a dollar I'd have said it was T-Mobile on the ropes in this marriage.

Good to see there is still a point at which politicians have to resign.

Ready for this legend to be PM?

Albert Hoffman took an acid trip into eternity on this day 10 years ago, aged 102.

To be fair he quit a job in which it's traditional to stick it until death so any fame-hound behaviour on his part past the retirement is bad manners and potentially under-mining of his successor. Then again, it'd be really bad form to out-live the new guy!

Could be a double bluff.

Nabi Tajima and Verne Troyer both died on my birthday this year. And as I had Tajima in the Hare's, that's the second year in a row I got a birthday hit in any deadpool.

Philosophising swine Ludwig Wittgenstein quaffed his last skinful of beer on this day in 1951 at the age of 62. Friedrich Schlegel probably met him at the pearly gates.

A very old man for all the positive posts about his current activities but... I'd be interested to know how close to the last name of the 50 he was at the selection meeting and who ended up 51st

Bizarre that even this thread has gone quiet for almost ten days - calm before the (points) storm?

That's a horrendous noise. And so's the name.
