    General Election 2024?

    #5 is the most critical policy here. If there were only two policies in the manifesto: mandatory death for all citizens, and the reintroduction of Ceefax, I would vote for the party as death would be a small price to pay for the ability to view Ceefax on television again.

    Joe Biden

    Fuck me I must be immortal if that sack of lard is getting to 92. He doesn't look like a heart attack waiting to happen, he looks like a heart attack that has already happened.

    You can't deny that it's an idea that merits discussion, though.

    People got pissed at TOC for spamming twitter links. I admit the quality of these is higher, but do we really need quite so many?

    Coin/Banknote Collecting

    I decided to stop being so stingy with myself and have gone on a little spree these past few days to get some things I've been wanting for a while. I've had quite a rough week so it felt good to counterbalance the misery a bit.

    I keep hearing about all these non-dom people. Personally, I've always used the term sub.

    Nice to know he's doing well. Is he looking forward to receiving a picture of Charles and Camilla when he turns 105?

    This is incredible work, huge thanks. A very talented question setter, and responsible for a lot of great television.

    King Charles III

    Might be why you use them, but I've always favoured something softer for that activity. Oh, wait, you meant drug snorting didn't you?

    Sourced this morning. Doesn't he look thrilled?

    DL Status Updates: Statements, Obsevations & Verbal Tennis

    1) It's a bit of fun, in no way intended to be a seriously competitive game. However, it's quite sad that you could near enough get a full house very easily. 2) Definitely appears to be, as with a couple of other communities I frequent. However, it may also be confirmation bias at play. 3) If you want to get jumped on, I'm sure it can be arranged.

    DL Status Updates: Statements, Obsevations & Verbal Tennis

    No we have taken the unanimous decision to ban straight people this year. Sorry. As part of this, we're renaming Homes Under the Hammer to Homos Under the Hammer for the month of June, and it's going to show particularly kinky BDSM scenes instead of auctions.

    DL Status Updates: Statements, Obsevations & Verbal Tennis

    To give a more thorough answer to this: Pride month is about celebrating diversity, and accepting who we are. It's very important for a lot of people because there are still so many places where they are discriminated against, and many have been rejected for simply loving who they love, or having the confidence to identify as who they are. It's obviously marvellous that we've got mothers, fathers, veterans, teachers, and even Robert Burns fan clubs, but in terms of the magnitude of historical (and current) oppression, I'm not sure they're quite so in need of a month to stress the message of the importance of tolerance. Nobody is taking away from their importance, or the right of an individual to feel proud of the work they do or the contribution they have made to society, but while we still have colossal discrimination on a global scale against people for simply loving someone or identifying how they feel, it is so vital that there is devotion to putting forth the message of tolerance. Pride month doesn't mean you can't still be a teacher, a Robert Burns fan, or even a Homes Under the Hammer watcher. It's a time to keep in mind that being yourself, and being allowed to be yourself, is paramount. Also, the very idea of a whole month of people singing that fecking Auld Lang Syne has made all the milk in my fridge curdle in horror.

    Yeah it's a great shame that being a teacher is illegal in so many countries, and you should see the looks I get when I mention I support Robert Burns.

    ALS/MND/other degenerative diseases

    I wouldn't necessarily say that this is sad as much as it is a relief, because the guy clearly had no quality of life. There are not many people who would have fought such a dreadful disease with such resilience, keeping such a positive outlook and raising awareness in spite of how much of a strain it was. A true inspiration, and deserved every bit of plaudit that he got. Rest easy dude.

    Jimmy Carter (obviously) Frank Field Rob Burrow Vanessa Redgrave Jonnie Irwin Noam Chomsky Glynis Johns Yoko Ono Shannen Doherty Esther Rantzen I'd be surprised if I end the year on fewer than seven hits, and the bonus points for under-70s should also help me in the scoring.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2025

    I run a very small death prediction group chat with a few friends where we pick 10 names, and the stipulations are: - Every name must be very notable (they have a very strong claim to fame, not just "obscure commentator" or "appeared in a few movies in the 1960s") - At most half of your list can be aged 90+ - At least one name on your list must be under 70 I can't help feeling like deathlist would do well to consider implementing similar policies. I'm fine with a bit of flexibility with regards to what constitutes notability, but I think they should at least have a firm policy regarding maximum number of nonagenarians and above.

    So I'm just out of touch then? Even so, I really struggle to believe that the average person would know anything about them. I'd prefer the list to contain very recognisable people, selected on the basis of health as opposed to just being 90+.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2025

    Because nobody has a clue who they are?* Please don't encourage them to continue their strategy of "anyone over 90 who is even fractionally notable." *Possibly I'm just out of touch, but looking them up didn't yield much that would suggest people would know them.
