So you said it's an artiste but it's actually a band and it's 8,6 not 7,6?

Chris Brown dead ... I'm tempted to leave it like that but... eh... feck it The body of former surfboarding champion Chris Brown was found washed up on the California shore during the morning of the 25th, police say. Wrong Chris Brown to have washed up, Reaper!

Excellent dinner and banging gig. Much to my astonishment the drummer came over at the end and presented me with the drumsticks. I didn't though.

Shot a brace last week. This is the result!!

Seems to have been a correction to the place of death of Windsor Davies, who apparently died in St Helier and not France:

Fucken fuming. In the past 5 days I’ve lost 5 people off my shortlist.

And a solo. Congrats.

So about a week later, an update. Friday night into Saturday, we did end up with a ton of snow. Around 6 inches fell, possibly more but I'm not sure (well I wasn't gonna fuckin' go out with a ruler, was I?) Tuesday we had an ice storm. I was leaving school for lunch and had to take several minutes to scrape the ice off my car. On the plus side, it didn't ice afterwards, so I quickly left before the traffic at the end of the day, while most other folk were stuck scraping. Wednesday a bit more snow fell. And Thursday. And today. Fuck sake! Today was also frigid as hell, with wind chills around -20°F (-29°C) in the morning. No school cancellations throughout all of this, but I'm not surprised. By Chicago standards, it wasn't that bad. What's ahead? A snowstorm coming Monday morning. Funny thing is - one model shows 3 inches falling here, another model shows 13 inches. If it's the latter - definitely no school. Roads will be fucked. And also if it's that much, the snow on the ground - of which there already is a fuck-ton - will probably be 2 and a half fucking feet! Wednesday morning and Thursday morning wind chills could go as low as -50°F (-46°C)! Definite school cancellations. I'll be enjoying next week in the warmth of my house, it seems.

The band name is actually 8,6 Oh and here's a full crossword full of these for the brave: https://crosswordlabs.com/view/guess-the-song-crossword

I have been doing some more thinking about potential names: From the world of British politics: Lord Robert Armstrong (ex UK Cabinet Secretary) [91] (age at time of writing) Lady Marcia Falkender (former advisor to PM Harold Wilson) [86] Joe Haines [90] Bernard Ingham (Thatcher's press secretary) [86] Lord Norman Tebbit (Thatcher cabinet minister) [84] Lord Kenneth Baker (Ditto) [84] Lord Nigel Lawson (Chancellor of the Exchequer) [86] Other: Sir Lenox Hewitt (Australian senior public servant, father of Blair cabinet minister Patricia Hewitt) [now 101] Tom Hughes, QC (Australian attorney general in the Gorton government) [95] In light of June Whitfield's demise in Dec. 2018, it occurs to me that it may, sadly, be time to consider some British theatrical dames- (I have already mentioned Angela Lansbury and Joan Plowright): Patricia Routledge [89] The 1934 crowd Judi Dench Maggie Smith Eileen Atkins

Never mind eh.... It does help if you pop a name in your posts, otherwise it doesn't show up on searches.

Tatties? Git tae fuck. Neaps? Git rid o’ that shite. Haggis? Och aye! My dinner was crumbled haggis, fried in butter, in a crusty roll with a drizzle of tomato ketchup. Washed down with some crisp Chenin Blanc rather than a dram of whisky. Yep. In my dreadful English way I accidentally went some way to un-Scottish this auspicious Scottish occasion. Very sorry. Sláinte Mhath!

And so ends GUN Away's title campaign.

Wish I'd thought of that.

Have you never done a crossword in your life?

Not necessarily....... In these enlightened times.

Report post Posted January 23, 2014 Sad to see Dom Joly reduced to such lame gimmicks just to get himself in the papers. This so called Mr Christmas lives in the town next to me, and not only is he a cock, but, according to many of his neighbours and local townsfolk, he's an absolute fucking bullshitter as well, and has been trading off the back of this farce for many years. Mr Christmas, my arse - Mr Fucking Twat more like. Bad things happen when you take the lyrics from 1970s hits too seriously. That's how my uncle ended up in jail for buggering a swan.

Cancer is funnier. Fuck off.
