    Stevie Wonder

    Probably Stevie sees more of his kids than Boris. And Boris has 20/20 vision.

    Well, it's not my choice, but by popular acclaim and number of requests it's Beauty School Dropout from Grease. If I had to choose one myself (because I've done a few more since the Standards thread) it would be Stars from Les Miserables.

    I request that you do To All The Girls I've Loved Before next time. Nothing to do with the fact Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias are both on my TOTP team this year. Nope. Not at all. Nada. Just a great choon.

    Mike Gravel

    A gritty thread, but not threadworthy on a UK forum. Abandon Gravel to the political frailty thread or US American Political Figures over 85 imo. Edit: What the hell is he doing or what illness does he have that we can talk about?

    Boris Johnson

    I really feel for my English friends. Statements full of whisper and indignation, signifying nothing. It's more shite today. It's confused and confusing advice. I've never heard anybody say so little with so much verbiage. It's all a bit "Trump Rally" really. "I'm going to tell you something so important, so necessary, that I will schedule ten minutes on a Sunday that you must listen to!" Then it turns into a pile of self-fluffing crap. "Thanks for your attention, I AM doing a great job." Then it's more of the same today. Only with a touch of "Look, I can speak a bit of French!" Haw Hee Haw Hee fuck off Blibberwimble. If you are any wiser than you were 2 days ago, then please go on the telly and tell the rest of us. Without the French. Without the bullcrap. What do the hoi polloi do?

    Sorry for your loss Clorox. It is a huge lifespan nevertheless and you can hope that her genes have passed on to you! Awful that this virus has hastened her death and my thoughts are with you and yours.
