Watching the snooker on C5 at the mo. Jimmy White as they say up here is thrawn indeed. Anyhow, he's still up and about and potting balls.

Report that Arthur D'Angelo, one of the twin brothers who founded the '47 apparel brand has died:

Lol. It was meant to be humorous. I gave up, went on the vapes and within three months had a heart attack. Guess I'm in the June Brown school of fag smokers.

Using woke as a derogatory term is, in fact, racism. Imo. It is used that way by white supremacists. And coconuts.

Out and about shopping and enjoying a cigarette: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13148275/John-Mellencamp-girlfriend-Kristin-Kehrberg-shop-NYC.html Not at death's door, but with some of the cigarette Nazis on here....

Been a while since I posted this but I suggest Lis Lundkvist-Husberg be added to the List of the Lost @Death Impends.

News of Vachon's death broke perhaps 4-5 hours ago and reports on the XMusk refer to him having died "yesterday". That makes his death a 29 February death.

Billionaire Conservative Party donor and chair of JCB Anthony Bamford, Lord Bamford has retired from the Lords: https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2024-03-01/debates/3A7CE52E-A553-4DD8-BAD4-9431007EEFCE/RetirementOfAMemberLordBamford Again, "only" 78 (79 in October). Interesting snippets include the fact he once sued Jeffrey Archer for bankruptcy after Archer failed to repay a loan (he did repay it) and he provided the house and a donation to Boris Johnson for Johnson's wedding party in 2022. (Obviously because Johnson was short of a place and cash? Mwahahahah). He led JCB out of the CBI never to return after the CBI had an anti-Brexit stance. (Again, because billionaires don't feel the cost to their pockets of Brexit, I'm guessing). Maybe he's just bored of the Lords or might be something more to it.

OP could do with a sweep clean @Joey Russ if you are up to it.

Thought it had to be the fall that killed them though. Died peacefully in hospital. Me old mum had a fall, was in the hospital being treated for months then died from a stroke while there. Wasn't the fall that killed her, doesn't sound like Mulroney did either. Edit: Not like old Cilla who definitely did die from a fall. Edit: IMO of course, up to the DDP people.

I loved the bit about criticising other countries who don't have our freedoms. The kind of country run by an unelected leader, Rishi?

That's not what I meant. He can't see beyond his own horizon, emphasising what happens in London is more important than any other part of the nation. I could have said little Englander, but that would be unfair to the vast majority of that great country.

What a pile of utter wankspeak. What he describes is not the country I live in, nor my community. This is fearmongering shite, designed to heighten differences and divisions, not ameliorate them. What an utter, utter little Londoner narrow minded pile of garbage.

Well, that sounds better than me sitting in front of my telly listening to Sunak. Have a lovely time.

Maybe...and bear with me on this...he's going to the King to ask for a pardon for Huw Edwards, so that Laura K and Clive M don't get the election gig!

Seems rather pointless to go to all this for a boring statement. He could do this from the comfort of a room or the Number 10 press office, or have an interview or two. If it is something other than an election or a resignation, then he's being a bit dick-ish.

What is more important to Sunak than his family's own wealth? It's deffo the non-dom thing.

'Mon @Ulitzer95 what's Sunak going to say in less than an hour? Give us the gen and I'll slip you a cheeky fiver in a brown envelope.

"It is with the greatest regret that I feel my time in this job is up. I'm fucking off to America where my wife and me can make even more money, so Jeremy Hunt can shove the closue of the non-dom tax breaks right up his arse. It has been a real privilege to serve my own interests rather than those of the nation and to watch you all squirm under my super tax rises, inflation, and outlandish energy bills. If anyone is interested, there's some potholes in Richmond, North Yorkshire need filling. Oh and Boris is standing in my seat at the next election, whenever that is. I really don't care."

Emma Jones, semi-finalist on Britain's Got Talent in 2015 apparently died mid-February. There's this link which as a non user of FB I cannot access. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005908540372 Anyhow, let's remember her.
