    I've just achieved my target of walking (or sometimes even jogging, when no one is watching) 1,500km in 100 days. Now I'm going to have a bacon sandwich.

    It's about that. I just worked it out. I don't think I'd get anywhere near that, so well done both of you. Saying that, I have no idea what my average daily total is as I don't have a gadget to tell me.

    SCAVENGER HUNT BINGO DEADPOOL RULES Each player picks five selections in each of five categories (for categories see below). There are three ways to win 1. You get at least one hit in each of the five categories 2. You get all five hits in one category 3. You get three unique hits across the whole game. There is no fixed duration you play until there is a winner. In the event of a tie number of uniques will be the next determiner followed by total number of hits across all categories. Obits will not be stringent (more akin to Deathrace requirements). However the Game Controller will be checking that picks meet the category criteria at the start of the game. A unique pick is considered unique in category. For example if two categories were Conservative MPs and Contestants on Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the Stars and three players picked Edwina Curry in the first category and the fourth player picked her in the second category. If she eggspired then Player 4 would get a unique bonus. When a winner is declared the selection of the next categories passes to the victor and they get to select the new categories. The winner may opt to pass or play on the organisation of the game. If they pass I will run the game based on their selections or they can take the whole thing. The Categories for the third game are: 1. Any actor (gender neutral term) who has appeared in an official EON James Bond film between Dr No & No Time To Die ( 2. Any player who was part of a FIFA Men's World Cup Finals squad (don't have to have played in the tournament) 3. Anyone who has won a Nobel Prize in any category 4. Any human deemed to have achieved spaceflight (according to this wiki list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronauts_by_first_flight ) 5. Any on-stage performer for a country in a Eurovision Grand Final. Teams must be PM’d to avoid revealing those unique picks. There will be a two week period at the beginning of September after the lists are published for disputes to be settled people whose picks are removed at this point will be allowed replacements but will not be allowed to pick another person's unique pick. Starting Date is 01 September 2020

    I'm not usually a fan of shows like this but I did watch all of You. So it must have something going for it.

    Aisling Franciosi was a revelation too, she played a blinder (she must have been about 20 irl). She had a small but vital role (flashback only) in Game Of Thrones, but I hadn't seen her in anything else. That sub-plot was another little GoT corner, with Barristan Selmy Ian McElhinney and Roose Bolton Michael McElhatton! It isn't important to the main plot. I might try 'You' then, if you recommend it. Planning to watch 'The Missing' next, it's on iplayer. ETA Just had a look at this Penn Badgley guy, and he's very much the same type as Dornan, and Firth (when younger). They could all be brothers.

    Let’s hear it for that Mesopotamian lad Kushim, possibly the oldest named human, who turned circa 5100 this year. Sadly, no date of birth so no jelly and ice cream for him.

    I didn't find him charming either, but they do show how someone like that can pull the wool over the eyes of his loved ones and even get them to lie to the police against their better nature. I'm only on Series 2 at the moment on Netflix, but I found the scenes were he grooms the 14 year old babysitter quite hard going because it's the sort of thing that goes on in real life. Although I struggled to keep up with the whole police corruption/non-serial killer deaths subplot, tbh. I've also watched You on Netflix, which is about another "charming lead" - see horrific sexually motivated serial killer played by a guy who used to do romantic TV. Penn Badgley, he's quite good in it, it's from his perspective but it's clear he's the villain to everyone but himself - and his twitter fans. The second series just ended on one of the most perfect narrative climax for a character I've seen in modern TV, so naturally they've just announced a new series for 2021 which will have to ruin it...

    I think I'll just amend this to people on Facebook, generally, plus expand it to include other social media sites generally. I don't think you can truly know someone until you see what they post on social media.

    And this is related to Jimmy Carter, how?

    He was regarded as a pretty crap President when he was in the Oval Office. History has been kinder to him and he's done wonders for his own legacy with his humanitarian work. Wasn't built for politics though.

    Miriam Stoppard was a bit of a hottie back in her peak days. She has had a damn good career and Im certain that her surname, that she still continues to use some 25 years after her divorce, has had absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

    Today, he turns 42, not "would have turned 42", because his legacy lives on.

    Agreed. Jimmy Carter was a weak leader and hopefully he wont be around in the next election for us to hear his stupid worthless opinions.

    My 82 year old grandmother has stage 4 kidney cancer. Does anyone have a good idea what the typical life expectancy is for this cancer? The only thing her doctor said was the 5 year survival rate is less than 10%. Her husband (my grandfather) passed away last year from kidney failure. Those damn kidneys in my family is bad luck.
