Juan Pablo Montoya, off of all sorts of racing, is 45 today

If he’s not about to drop dead, he’s too healthy in the context of picking someone who’s about to drop dead. That’s the philosophy, and I don’t think that’s too grandiose a term, that I stick to. Scumbag. Maggot.

Too healthy.

Matt ‘cock can’t even sign off an interview without sounding like an absolute fud.

A few hits since the last update: Banali and Redstone (for Crowdsource), someone's old man (for DeathList), Ginsburg (for all of us). EDIT: Oh, and Kerslake! I now have more hits than the DL has ever managed in a year. QR: 18 CS: 18 DL: 14

Tried a randomiser and it said David Attenborough. Didn’t like that, so I tried again and got Shane MacGowan. Moral of the story, randomisers are shit at this. I’ll try Bob Dole.

Bloody hell, you're right You can buy the fuckers on Amazon!

Yep. No consideration that both parts might be necessary. Morons. I'll tell you what else makes me laugh is how many dickheads you see wearing the face mask over just their mouth, leaving their nose completely out. How fucking useless is that? That's a bit like putting a condom over just your bollocks.

She didn't say anything more than this, but the mention of Covid with her mother's death (rather than just saying she died) perhaps implies the same happened to Mr Brother.

Now you see the Q-Ball is specifically a sports bar, definitely the wrong place. That’d be like going to Colors and trying to avoid LGBTs. If you’ve nothing interesting to say (which I highly doubt, don’t sell yourself short mate), say/do something mental. I’m reminded of Sean Lock once saying in a stand up routine of his that the best way to start a new conversation is to throw beer in a dog’s face. See how many people want to talk about fucking football then.

Exactly what I’m saying. And FTFY.

This cover of Nirvana’s About A Girl made me cry. Laughing.

See that’s the thing, aside from the four-yearly aggressive pandemic of a World Cup, of course you fucking can! Is it on the telly? Switch it over. Is there an article about it? Scroll past it. Is it playing in the pub? Talk about something interesting and it disappears. Are your friends talking about football? Talk about something interesting instead and it disappears. When a fan asks me what team I support, I say “McLaren”, which either just elicits a confused expression or changes the topic, either way stopping the tedious football chat dead in it’s tracks. “Do you follow the football?” “Nah.” Bang! And the cunt is gone. When someone makes a quip about a footballist or a team, just say “no idea” and that’s the end of that. So no, the notion that a game should hold us hostage as a nation is both preposterous and wrong.

Likely my first and last post in this thread as I largely detest kicky ball, but this was mildly amusing: a game between two local German teams ended 37-0 when one of the teams decided it wasn’t safe to play without observing strict social distancing.

Des. The ITV true crime docudrama about Dennis Nilsen. Chilling. Very well done, whilst avoiding the portrayal of the actual murders. Definitely worth a watch.

I hope he cleaned it up.

Damon Hill, racing legend and 1996 F1 World Champ, is 60 today

I have a sad update on that front:

Erm, quite.

Booty Flicker

a-Ha’s Morten Harket, off of my phone desperately trying to autocorrect to ‘Kitten Harlequin’, is 61 today

Obitable?

Obviously the honourable member for Milton Keynes means Mary Whitehouse. Absolute junkie, she was.

I’m only a social smoker, I count myself quite lucky that on a day-to-day basis I can take cigs or leave them, so I leave them. And spend the money saved on something healthy, like wine.
