    LG reporting in! I had seen photos of him recently at local public events where he looked gaunt but as the throat cancer diagnosis was 10 years ago I thought perhaps he was going to weather the storm. Only 5 days ago Floors Castle had their massed Pipes and Drums day, as anyone who has read my posts knows I live beside the Duke's estate and get to see the pomp and ceremony stuff that goes on, only last weekend we had The Carriage Club of Great Britain drive by in their full regalia pretending to be Lords and Ladies as they drove along the streets of Kelso, they slightly gave away the fact they are not actually posh by the fact they had their smartphones out filming their approach to the 'Golden Gates'of Floors while dressed as nobility. The castle and its grounds are closed now until further notice but hopefully they will get their act together and reopen for the Food Festival scheduled to be held there in 2 weeks time as I have tickets for that and the food and gin samples are pretty much top of my priorities in my middle age, stuff mourning a member of the aristocracy.

    It's almost impressive how quickly senior Tories in cabinet have spun from saying that proroguing would be mad, bad and dangerous to democracy to backing it all the way to the hilt: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/29/then-and-now-what-senior-tories-say-about-proroguing-parliament Hypocrisy at its most shameless.

    I'm surprised that one hasn't cropped up before. It was pretty cringey at the time, and I'm not talking about the language but the sentiment.

    To add more to your confusion, since you entered an early list and one candidate died before the start of September, Randy Romero, you cannot replace him, so you enter September With only 4 names. Just like Joey and JCReptile. And Joey, Banana and Chorizo with Valerie Harper. So take away the name you entered after Randy Romero passed away.

    Nearly a year after I posted this, a second reference to the death of Rick Evans can be added. According to this article, published July 22nd of this year, Evans died in February 2018 near Santa Fe, New Mexico . https://journalstar.com/entertainment/music/remembering-rick-evans-and-in-the-year/article_ecc6ae95-7a9e-5fcc-b3a2-54a3eccc6796.html

    I've just watched Newsnight and earlier the Scottish news and you would honestly think Ruth Davidson was competent or something. Look, at the risk of being labelled an unreconstructed misogynist, she's just like a whole lot of women out there who want a well-paying full time job and a full time child. And basically she's found she can't have both, so she's fucked off. After taking the full whack of maternity leave, let's add. Never mind her party's policies which are forcing the people under her party's charge to find jobs and raise several kids and try and get by without losing the house - summat old Ruth need never worry about. Meantime, giving credit to Jolly Hockey Sticks for the Tories' fortunes in Scotland is overplaying the ball. Let's review those reasons: 1. Labour fucked up big time a long time ago and continue to do so. And they had to for Red Scotland to turn their faces and their votes away from them. Corrupt Councils, PFI, threatening huge Council Tax increases and closing hospitals while all the time implementing London's diktats rather than what was best for Scotland led to a complete collapse in their base. They've rarely recovered. 2. Long term SNP Government. There's no doubt that the SNP's constant blaming of cuts to their budget in Austerity Britain rankles after a while with Scots who believe in thrift, making do and soldiering on. Add to that the debacle of Farm Subsidy payments not reaching farmers in time. Increasing centralisation of power to the Central Belt - what have they actually done for the more rural areas? Add in the glorious promises of fishing rights and money coming to farmers once Brexit is through - promises which, if Gove and Johnson are to be believed, are about to turn to ashes. 3. Lib Dems - Alastair Carmichael's lies and Willie Rennie - 'nuff said. 4. A willingness on the part of Scots to vote Green more often as a protest vote rather than the two main parties. I defy anyone, anybody at all to find a Scottish First Minister's Questions where Ruth Davidson landed any particular blow at all. I'd be surprised if, when her kid slid out of her, that child didn't remark on the amount of boot marks covering Davidson's arse. And Davidson changed her mind on policy so often. "Give the kids more exams!" she cried. Oh, it's unpopular. "You are examining the kids too much!" she declaimed. "The Scottish Police will have to be the only force in the UK to pay VAT!" she exhaled. What's that, London's changed it's mind because they got some MPS? "My idea, totally take them out of VAT!" she stormed. I could go on. But it's all there. She got lucky during a period and you have never seen anyone so wrong about EVERYTHING look so fucking smug. The Tories have essentially always been ruthless. And now they are Ruth-less too. BYE!!!

    Biden definitely seems to be having early stage dementia or something like that with this video: In a lot of ways I feel bad for him despite being a really bad candidate for president in general.

    BROTHER LIFE, SISTER DEATH 7/50 15th June 2019 One of the most acclaimed directors and opera producers of the 20th century, Franco Zeffirelli, has finally given his final encore to give the Crowdsource List another success. He began his career as an opera director in the 1950s, and he worked on many major productions such as La traviata in 1958 at Dallas alongside Maria Callas. His most acclaimed work in opera has to be Tosca at the Royal Opera house alongside Maria Callas and Tito Gibbi. However, he may be more well known for his work in film, where he created well acclaimed films of Shakespeare works such as The Taming of The Shrew and Romeo and Juliet, the latter of which one him an Oscar nomination for best director. He also directed the miniseries of Jesus of Nazareth, which is often shown around Christmas and Easter to this day. He had been a part of some controversies in recent years. For example, he backed the catholic church's position on homosexuality despite being gay himself, he served in Italy's centre-right party in the senate for 2 years, and last year he was implicated in some me too stuff. However, one thing that wasn't controversial was his support from the voters for this list. He's making his second appearance on the list, but he dropped down all the way to the 39th slot. (Side note: I am at a computer lab when I wrote this obit, so the other three who still need a write up will come at a later date).

Bob: Nuthin', just thought of him all of a sudden. Wonder what he's up to? Dave: Isn't he like old as shit? Bob: Yah, bet he'd be worth a ton of points in deadpools. Dave: I could use some extra cash. Let's enter an online deadpool. Bob: Good thinking....Hey, googling deadpools and the fat dude's name gave me this site with a funny skull. Dave: Cool. Bob: ......Ah crap, it says he's dead. Fucking hell. Quick, think of someone else. Dave: Uhh, the dude who made those Ford cars, Henry I think, has a super old wife. Betty or something. Bob: Brilliant!
