Well that’s a shaame

If this is any indication, Trump’s re-election chances aren’t looking good:

That’ll be a bad Kiick for those considering him.

VERA, WHAT HAD BECOME OF YOU? 11/50 18th June 2020 The answer, Roger Waters, is dead. Vera Lynn was a national icon like none other in that time. She came into prominence as a wartime singer, and boy did she sing a lot of songs during World War 2. It was the 1939 song "We'll Meet Again" that made her a star in England in 1939. The quite nostalgic lyrics of the song really resonated with a lot of folk during the war, which eventually led to her being named "The Forces Sweetheart". A lesser known fact about that song is that it also used a very early example of a synthesizer called the Novachord, which is something you wouldn't expect to hear in a popular song in the 1930s! She had another wartime hit with "The White Cliff of Dovers", and had her own radio show started in 1941 called Sincerely Yours. It was taken off the air for 18 months though because of how the sentimental nature might undermine the 'virile' nature of the soldiers. After the war, she continued to have success, with the 1952 son "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" becoming the first song to top the US Charts by a British singer. She also made multiple appearances on BBC since the war, and in 1975 she became a dame. In 2014, one her compilation albums even outsold popular groups like The Beatles and Arctic Monkeys. She lived a long life up to 103, and unsurprisingly was very beloved by the folk on forums. This year marks her 5th appearance, jumping all the way to the 4th spot.

Is Bill Clinton an option?

Jimmy Carter

Not really a song, but oh so good:

Since there seems to be an uptick on bots new friends, I thought I’d let them know that they should post here.

Just searched for you. You picked Kissinger

The lockdown wouldn’t have any problems if there wasn’t so much wealth disparity. Yet the wealthy keep getting richer and richer during the pandemic, which is not good. In fact, there was an article about how Jeff Bezos being a trillionaire is a good thing. Fuck that!

And the winner is...

June 28th

Imelda Marcos

So I posted this as a joke, but looking a bit further it turns out that this Tariq Aziz shares the exact same birthday as the more famous Tariq Aziz! Sometimes I don’t understand the world...

A little over 5 years later, Tariq Aziz dies again

Well done Toast. You did great.

A quick update for snooker legend Willie Thorne before I head to bed, who has now died and gives Clorox a bit of a comeback path now... 1. An Fear Beag vs Clorox 11 - 7 2. Death Impends vs JiroemonKimura 4 - 4 

He’s not dead yet you know. Think twice before you troll on the forum with news that isn’t confirmed, okay iain?

Ah, how fun is it that somebody wants to divert attention to something else rather than this game.

As it turns out Maiesha Rashad didn’t even last two months as she’s dead

So Willie Thorne might finally provide an end to this...

Well, I was not expecting that. In my defense re the random team, I was quite stressed with the transition to online school and so I didn’t really have a lot of time to think of a more thoughtful entry. I guess that’s how things go sometimes...

Well, trading is available today if anyone wants to trade. Also posting to remind @Toast that's a possibility.

A rarity with only four survivors alive today, I thought it’s be appropriate to start one for these four men after Alan Bean died today. So who’s going to be the last one? I think the youngest person will be last, so Charles Duke gets my vote...

While the MMMDP is where most of the attention is at, I also note the cup is lagging along with three of the 4 teams only having 1 hit so far...
