    Humprey Campbell (66), #9 in 1992 for The Netherlands, has died. (Never heard it before today, so it didn't become a Eurovision evergreen..)

     

     

    Humphrey Campbell news report: https://nos-nl.translate.goog/artikel/2514231-songfestivaldeelnemer-humphrey-campbell-66-overleden?_x_tr_sl=nl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc&_x_tr_hist=true

     

    Ireland's dominance of the 90s means a lot of these entries are largely forgotten. Thanks for letting us know @I.R.Baboon.

    First time I ever heard this word ! I looked it up on google, but that’s not profiteroles, it’s a kind of pièce montée (pastry served at weddings)

    Ah.

     

    A critique. (French you know).

     

    Look, I'm only going off Masterchef watching, it was profiteroles then. ;)


  3. How far does this go?

     

    If I have a soiree at the weekend, with vol-au-vents and aperitifs, followed by a meal including an entree and a dessert of croquembouche (that's profiteroles you know), then a stroll around the garden pointing out my plants flowering in their jardinieres, glass of champagne in hand, for example?

     

    (I am joking here of course, it's somebody's pool with their rules, which you just look upon).

    Of course you are, you're the one who killed off the Fusa Tatsumi stan accounts! I've met a bunch of people off the internet who I have far less in common with, most of them over 40, and I've never had anything short of a great time. Maybe a smaller Glasgow meetup is in order then.

    I'd be cool with that.

     

    I'm normally the uncle of most of my friend groups, as long as it's not too suspicious me hanging about with a gang of students. Ha!

    He was in hospice, but still had appetite as of last week. I thought it might be an April death.

    Also, well done to us! No. 1 dead, and fifth hit.

    DACH- and french list are doing pretty excellent so far.

    With Reaper wandering around Central Europe, Stanley Baxter and Gudrun Ure, not to mention Glen Michael, are all rubbing their hands with glee having been granted immortality. 

     

    Is that what you want, Reaper? :lol:

     

    (Not looking good for Petula Clark, mind!).

    Mel Giedroyc's dad, Prince Michal, aged 88. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-uk/obituary.aspx?n=michal-jan-henryk-giedroyc&pid=187703646

     

    His life seems to have been covered previously by the Express and the Telegraph.

    Mel Giedroyc's mother Rosemary has now died: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13228359/Great-British-Bake-Mel-Giedroyc-death-mother.html


  8. Maybe it's trite to suggest that:

     

    in the week that the number of people who crossed the Channel in one day was almost twice the number of people the Government intend to send to Rwanda in the whole of next year;

     

    in the week that it was revealed that the Government's plan to house people in other than hotels would cost more than keeping them in hotels;

     

    in the week that it has been discovered that millions of pounds was thrown into Port Authorities by the Government and local authorities, those Port Authority and border control facilities are either mothballed or not being used to full capacity;

     

    this Government would rather talk about flags rather than their so-called flagship policies regarding immigration.

     

    Starmer should have said this was a matter for fans and the FA, while he got on with the job of sorting the absolute dumpster fire that the UK is fuelling with taxpayers' money.

     

    I'm sure the vast majority of folk are more worried about the above and all the other issues than a design on a footy shirt. And if they are not, then fuck the lot of them. :lol:

    Didn't she have a child with Downs Syndrome?  ISTR Diana, Princess of Wales was its godmother.  I can't be arsed to look it up.

    Yes. But treating other disabled people of working age as a second class citizen is something she favours. 

     

    I presume she thinks the massive minimum wage is more than enough to live on, so the disabled should be able to work for less and still lead an independent life. 

     

    The measure of what Sunak thinks should have influence over our laws.
