And so John Prine went the same way as the drug addicted Sam Stone did. An Angel from Montgomery took John Prine today, and news of Coronavirus and plenty of health problems made him a popular cup pick in April. Both Clorox and deadsox picked Prine, but Prine was deadsox’s joker and is now even with Clorox. However, clorox still leads due to Glanzer being slightly younger than Hussein was. msc takes a 6 point lead against Sir Creep, a surprisingly big gap against the former cup runner up. An even bigger gap happens in Book vs Jiroemon, where the latter now has a 10 point lead against the former. However, the match is far from over. Also, a Prine joker has Chorizo with a 9 point lead over Quim, who will no doubt be shouting once again “arseburgers, I’m going to lose!” Grim finally brings a score in his tie against grobler, while Torva takes the lead against DeathByArsenic with a Prine joker. YoungWillz has Prine as joker while An Fear Beag just has Prine as a pick. The latter leads on hits, but watch out for that sneaky Frank Ifield pick. Finally, in a bit of a surprising move, Banana is down 6 points as Death Impends has Prine on his team. All up for a long match ahead... 1. Clorox vs Deadsox 9 - 9 2. Sir Creep vs msc 0 - 6 3. Book vs JiroemonKimura 0 - 10 4. Chorizo vs Quim Reaper 9 - 0 5. Grim vs Grobler 3 - 0 6. DeathByArsenic vs Torva 3 - 6 7. An Fear Bag vs YoungWillz 6 - 6 8. Banana vs Death Impends 0 - 6

In fact Arnold Yarrow turns 100 next week.Happy birthday to him in advance !

December 25th, Christmas Gift

I thought he died a year or two ago, and now I must have confused him for another Tory MP born in the late 30s. Anyhow, the whole duck island was one of the notorious bits of the expenses scandal, but just look how happy that duck looked after some taxpayer funded Location Location Location work:

Looks like taking him off the list is about to backfire on the committee!

It does seem to be a more quiet update - but maybe I have missed something in this age of Corona. If so, tell me. New hits are: Albert Uderzo, Honor Blackman and William Frankland. Ignacio Trelles could be a unique hit for Sir Creep, but hasn't received a QO so far. Rank Team Points 1 gcreptile 472 2 Death Impends 431 3 Banana 427 4 RadGuy 392 5 Cpt.

I can’t believe people are planning to step outside and “Clap for Boris”. Honestly, how fucking dare they devalue the round of applause for the NHS workers, the real heroes of this crisis, by giving a round of applause to one muttering prat who’s a bit poorly sick? He doesn’t deserve a round of applause or any further form of recognition, any more than the other 70k or however many sick people in this country.

That's probably not far off what Boris looks like at the moment!

Well I'm fucked if I am going to be eating there.....

Good to see you back! You will quickly find that I’m no longer the worst thing about this forum. The calibre has got much, much worse.

Yeah, along with Gorbachev and a few others really a head scratcher on why he was taken off...

I'm keeping it simple - the first day with zero Corona deaths in the UK.

I’ve always pondered the logic of frying an (imitation) cheese sandwich in (imitation) butter, and calling it ‘grilled’.

Tippi Hedren maybe ? 90 this year, quiet for si long and definitely deathlisty (i think)

Hmm, Bryter Later, surely - both versions of Hazy Jane and Northern Sky, awesome Though his family rated Pink Moon and the line on his gravestone is from From the Morning on that album

birth dates are yet to show up. Although with several of those I've made guesses based on school dates or debuts, hence (c.) notes for circa.

I can't believe that 7 people from this years DL went before Prince Philip...

I said that the British actually ran away at Dunkirk and got rakes of outraged responses from Londoners who are supposed to be working from home earning six figures. Was only joking but seriously, nine paragraph Facebook comments? TLDR. GTF. Deleted it in the end and called one to calm him the fuck down. Easy for me but.. ...it is getting to folk I think. **I also have 128 voicemails now. Possibly related.

No more heartbreaks for Sarah Vaughan after this day 30 years ago, aged 66.

Biggest death to who? Willy waivers? Seriously who the fuck is this nobody? Also biggest death gimme a break - Prince Charles and the Queen's footman have it....

Also composed the soundtrack for The Shining. Edit: Well, his compositions were used for the movie. He didn't specifically make them for the film.

3. Eurovision is unlikely to go ahead this year anyway.
