    Nigel Twiston-Davies' assistant Richard Bevis is in an induced coma following a farming accident. His brother is also a small trainer up in Cheshire, on initial glance I thought the article might be about him.

    Where did I say that I was the first person to report his death?


    We all have our own superpowers.  Yours is the ‘World’s Oldest’ thread.  Stay in your lane.

    Good evening all you ghouls and gals, I am not here to give my yearly social engagement suggestion yet. Instead, I am wondering how exactly we will celebrate the 20th birthday of this thread in March. It is my belief that we should pull the absolutely most audacious rants and highlight them in a special thread to celebrate the occasion. We also should have a competition to determine which one of you cheeky lot is the best at wittily responding to the uncouth simpletons who grace this thread. The 20th anniversary thread will be similar to the "This is Your Life" show with that Michael Aspel fellow with a voting twist except about the irate visitors and our gloriously snarky regulars instead of one person. It would be an absolutely marvelous way to unify and lightheartedly look back on how the DeathList has stood strong, no matter what challenges this site has had to face in the past. Who is with me in wanting to make the 20th anniversary of the irate visitors thread a magical moment for the ages? 


    Who is ‘we’? Who are you? You don’t get to click on ‘create account’ and start saying ‘we’.

  4. The rapper Fiu Snaccs died on January 7, 2024 in Raleigh, NC. His real name is Chaz Harris, 38, he was a local rapper in the Raleigh area. 

    In addition to rapping, Chaz also owned a box truck business. Chaz admitted in a ABC News interview he had a criminal past that stopped him from voting, but he was able to get his voting rights restored in 2020, voting for the first time. 

    Chaz leaves behind 5 children

  5. Saint Sulpitius the Pious, the bishop of Bourges, died 1380 years ago (age unknown). He is the patron saint of people with pains, gout and skin condition. We therefore pray to St Sulpitius on this, his Feast Day, to rid us of the @TQR rash that infests Deathlist. Amen.

    I don’t really understand the Rwanda policy. 
     

    If we flew all the immigrants who came here on small boats to Rwanda we would be bankrupt. Even if we used  EasyJet. 
     

    The numbers that can be accommodated in the Rwanda scheme are hardly going to put off the majority who probably still fancy their chances. 


    Now THIS I have to see!

    Glad this bilge is taking a knock. It's so painfully Radio 2. It's a beige cardigan. A grey Nissan Qashqai. A mug of bovril. A 'live laugh love' fridge magnet. A vegetable Korma. An old pair of Homer Simpson slippers. An episode of Bargain Hunt. A caravan park in Norfolk. 


    Sir Creep declared this list mostly rubbish.  So milquetoast is actually quite acceptable given the dregs below that adequate standard we are voting on.

     

    While I’m here…I’m not sure what land of make believe your country was in but Fleetwood Mac was a big fat nothing until the self-titled 10th album was released, after which thy promptly recruited Buckingham Nicks as the rest is pop/Rock n Roll Hall ofFame history.  Why are we pretending the Peter Green version accomplished anything musically noteworthy.  It didn’t.

    It's the same way in America. They're supposed to pay time and a half if you work on Sunday, so I suspect that's why some stores remain closed. Also, each state has weird alcohol laws. I could not buy wine on Sunday in Pennsylvania, but I could buy beer, so I wound up buying lambic to have with brunch.


    There are still a handful of ‘dry counties’ in Texas and I believe a few other hillbilly southern states. 
    Most (?) states sell alcohol on Sunday but not before noon.  When I was in New Mexico they did not sell alcohol on Sundays, that was 1987/88 so law may have changed.

    Detroit Lions 24-23 over the L.A.Rams

    These people in Detroit losing their minds.  
    30 years since their last playoff victory (and the only one in SirC’s lifetime, and he’s 60. So this is #2  @Paul Bearer Fort William hasn’t a clue what actual futility is).

    Announcer on the telly said ‘if you’re a Lions fan you should text someone and let them know the Lions won…you couldn’t do that last time because texting hadn’t been invented yet.’

  13. Wow - the quality of songs fell off a cliff.  I can count the songs I would give points to on one hand, so long as that hand had 8 fingers; and of those, how many are really good songs— maybe the 4 fingers on the other hand. And one of those is being attacked by @Death Impends because apparently someone in his life dropped over dead and it’s hitting a little too close to home.  Well, eliminate the Goldsboro song, I’m not going to wrestle with some sentimental fool.


  14. Composer Stephen Foster started de-composing160 years ago. (37).

    In his short 37 years he became known as the a father of American music. He wrote more than 200 songs, including "Oh! Susanna", "Hard Times Come Again No More", "Camptown Races", "Old Folks at Home" ("Swanee River"), "My Old Kentucky Home", "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair", and others.

  15. German physicist Georg Quincke died exactly 100 years ago today (89).

    Quincke's ‘Interference Tube’ is an apparatus that Quincke built in 1866 which demonstrates destructive interference of sound waves.  This would lead to our modern day automobile muffler, well after his death obvs.

    15 Traffic — Hole In My Shoe

    I fixed the title to the SDG track, which has been wrong the entire game.  When they said Gimme Some Lovin’ they meant vote for The Lovin’ Spoonful, if that helps.
