No numbers and no birthdates. So it's probably easier for you. And if you do that, there'll be some easy bonus points right away. More details in a few months. Also, it seems like there's a common consensus about some of the suitable names for replacement. Kind of everyone has Tom Long, Ivan Milat and Lee Noble. (Plus many have Michael Sleggs) So I think I might allow myself 2-3 subs in the next year. It's not like I could steal these picks if everyone knows them anyway..... Here also, more details in a few months.

It's been three weeks, and Alexa still has no clue what the hell I'm saying unless I shift into RP.

Yes! I'm not last! I'm second-last!

And next weekend Fort William will teach Inverness Kindergarten FC a lesson they'll never forget!

That's a debatable definition of not being a good year for Egypt, tbh.

Might be an idea to retitle it as Darwin Awards, use that ^ as a subtitle, and add SC's latest contribution.

You just beat me to it. The original descriptive title was: People can be stupid, some of them prove it in how they die.

There's this one as well.

Let’s take a moment to honor the intellect of this congressman from Iowa.

I created this thread a year ago as a newbie to say happy 94th! I post again a year later to say happy 95th bday!

I wonder what else they'll be pounding.

Armitage Shanks is sad his old mucker has gone to the betting ring in the sky and sends his condolences. He's not so well himself, mental health issues, which is why he doesn't drop by here nowadays. He thinks he's Lester Piggott half the time
