Can't believe this. RIP.

I won't judge too quickly but I certainly would've kept Pope Francis on.

I'm still gonna say Henry Kelly. He's looked awful for ages and hasn't appeared anywhere in years.

Rest in peace Mr President

His son Wayne has made a couple of public posts on Facebook. edit: covered in the Metro article Thatcher linked above.

Thanks - will update edit: Roberts and Herbert updated

Definitely. Mine became a The Range funnily enough when it was sold last time. No idea where my nearest Homebase would be and nor have I thought about going to one within the last 10 years anyway.

Updated lists in spoilers but I'm not gonna be actively maintaining. Sorted by band. 1984 - Band Aid - 5 deaths 1989 - Band Aid II - 1 death 2004 - Band Aid 20 - 0 deaths 2014 - Band Aid 30 - 2 deaths

Isn't that the second time Homebase has gone/nearly gone under now? Another one of those that has been posting losses/barely getting by for years. Not a surprise, especially with The Range (who's buying up 75 of the 130 Homebase stores) now standing where Wilko stood.

This is one hell of a shock I must say.

Chomsky or Carter, but voted Carter.

Legend. RIP

The thing about Tupperware is that 1) they last ages and 2) there's cut-price Chinese knock offs readily available. They haven't really got a USP in this day and age.

Whenever I'm expecting deliveries, I open my window so I can hear the driver pulling up. This is because they knock the door with the strength of a midge and then run straight off. I once had a driver who shit talked me to a passer-by outside for "not answering the door", despite the fact he definitely didn't knock (loudly) because I'd've heard it.

I think that is their aim. They're all clowns, but it's the matter of picking the Tory whose shoes won't squeak the loudest (ie, stay out of the headlines for the wrong reasons as much as possible).

I’m delighted, actually. Let’s hope he keeps in shape, and I think he will. Cooney is posting shorts these days and looks awful. Most recent one (which is fairly recent given ”very demure” is a trend going around)

Nikocado Avocado’s lost weight.

People who write Argos or Amazon reviews with either 1 or 5 stars saying utter shite like: "Bought it for my grandson for Christmas, don't know yet." "Delivery was on time" "Good service, driver was friendly" "Delivery came later than expected" "Box left out in rain otherwise product was fine" "Don't know, haven't opened it yet" FFS
