Amazing work. Hey hello hi. Our little bubba Kill or Save is now all grown up (happy 18th!), but despite its maturity, much like modern day Britain, there’s fuck all chance of it fleeing the nest anytime soon. How about this: the No.1s are all ticked off, and this edition is (until 2030 at least) the last of the No.2s too! 1,033 oh-so-nearlies, whittled down to 7. It’s brutal, it’s contentious, it’s chaotic, and that’s why it’s irresistable. We’ve just done a double-dose of 50s. Sounds nightmarish, but actually I think many of us were pleasantly surprised to find how much music back then still slaps to this day. Volare by Dean Martin won the fun-size final last time out, and very nearly achieved a first-ever 1-2. But enough of that; on we bang, all the way back to the modern day. The land of cheap pot purri scent billowing from a disposable vape held by the manicured and unevenly bronzed hands of the poor corrupted social media generation, raving silently to whatever is hissing at a critical volume through their noise cancelling headphones. The 2010s, everyone. Those had better be moans of excitement. Fancy reliving all the action? See below for links to all Kill or Save games to date: 50s No.1s; 60s No.1s; 70s No.1s; 80s No.1s; 90s No.1s; 00s No.1s; 10s No.1s 50s No.2s; 60s No.2s; 70s No.2s; 80s No.2s; 90s No.2s; 00s No. 2s; 10s No.2s (you are here) (IN PLAY!) 70s No.3s; 80s No.3s; 90s No.3s (IN PLAY!) Christmas Special 2023 KoS HoF Bobby Darin — Mack The Knife The Rolling Stones — Paint It, Black Donna Summer — I Feel Love Nena — 99 Red Balloons Madonna — Vogue Gorillaz — Dare Gotye ft.

Tears For Fears — Mad World Termsandconditionsapply: Each song starts with 20 points (whether it deserves it or not). You can vote once a day. Since we all live in different parts of the world with all sorts of different timezones, please add a date at the top of your votes to avoid any confusion (e.g. Thu 25 Jul, 25/7/24, 7/25/24 if you’re a wrongun). Each day you may add up to 4 points to and subtract 6 points from any song on the board. You can split your points between as many songs as you like. You must use all six minus points (unless it’s a round-ending turn) and give at least one plus point. Placeholder posts are allowed, but if you don't edit your votes within 5 minutes, then the next person can go and do their votes. Consecutive votes are not allowed. Before voting, please listen to the songs of each round and vote according to your own opinions, don't vote for songs because they're high/low on the board or because of your opinions about the artist, only the song matters. Make sure you copy and paste the most recent voter's scoreboard when you take your turn to score. For your own ease, ‘paste as plain text’ to get rid of the previous poster’s formatting. Then, delete their +/- scores, add yours, adjust the song’s points total and make your scores bold. Here’s a random example post from a previous game’s finale: Tue 15 Oct 35 Dean Martin — That’s Amore 31 Nat King Cole — When I Fall In Love 31 Dean Martin — Volare +4 27 Elvis Presley — Hound Dog 09 Elvis Presley — Heartbreak Hotel -6 Reveal hidden contents at your peril, for they contain your destiny. (which happens to involve all 130 UK Singles No.2s of the 2010s) As usual, we’ll go through 5 group stages, beginning with the No.2 hits of 2010/11, followed by a grand final consisting of the 25 songs that have qualified, in which we will decide upon the best UK single of the 10s that wasn’t quite the best, and the artist(s) of said song can resist an offer from Celebrity Big Brother for at least another year. 2010-11: 28 songs, 5 finalists 2012-13: 37 songs, 7 finalists 2014-15: 24 songs, 5 finalists 2016-17: 25 songs, 5 finalists 2018-19: 16 songs, 3 finalists Right then team, time to chow down a big pile of number twos…in Kill or Save.

Society is being strangled by woke ideology/mind virus/blob. Here’s a place to document all that’s woke in the world so we can either avoid/get angry about it. See, at the bottom of the post, a comprehensive, growing list of woke things to be furious at (with thanks to AFB for this idea). If you see it, report it. First: Scones. Avoid These At All Costs Cos They're Woke!!!1!! Scones made with margarine The BBC The National Trust McDonalds Team GB Fantastic Four Scrabble Defibrillators Elections the Tories didn't win School
