We're waiting for someone to solve the mystery. Questy is apparently member number 490, yet it says at the foot of the page that we have 400 members. We need softcell1 to say something, even if it's just "hello" to ascertain their "alternative" number. Then they can wave goodbye if they wish.
We've already established that the forum was re-jigged (?) in 2003, which is the earliest date that anyone is shown as having joined, but it's clear that some members were on here long before that. So who was member number one? And is number 6 Patrick McGoohan? I think we should be told.

They're re-running that series over here at the moment. It was, what, the 1980s, and she looked old then!
Always had an endless supply of nieces, didn't she. Every other episode, she was visiting her niece. With the Grim Reaper not far behind.

So, to recap, Gloria Stuart was not on the Titanic; she was in "Titanic." I know who you mean now, yes I have seen the film but I didn't know the old lady's name.
And I apologise for doubting your name Mike, but you may know the scene I'm referring to.
-
I think the old lady should be on the "Titanic Survivors" thread, and I don't believe that's your real name Mike. You've seen Porky's haven't you?
-
Never heard of him, or Eugene McCarthy for that matter. Why not put them in the "Ideas and Possibilities" thread instead of starting a new thread every time?
-
You're on the right lines, but that's a person who dislikes or distrusts people in general. Can be male or female presumably. I was thinking of a woman who hates men, like Ms Dworkin there.

Yes fair enough, I meant, not widely spoken outside Brazil and Portugal (and Mozambique, and Angola ... oh I give up)
-
I've been working recently with Portugese and Spanish-speaking people and I noticed that they tend to converse in Spanish (or English). What our friend was trying to say, I think, was that Portuguese people, without necessarily learning the language, can understand spoken Spanish more easily than vice versa.
I imagine it's similar with the Danes/Norwegians/Swedes, or with German/Dutch, but I'm sure Hein could help us out here.
I suppose having a mother tongue that hardly anyone else speaks, is more likely to make people learn a foreign language or two.

Oh I'd heard of her. I've often wondered what the opposite of a misogynist is, if you get my meaning.
Funny how everything leads back to Linda Lovelace on here ... not that I have a fixation, or anything.
-
Also battling the big C, this time of the prostate variety, the only songwriter I've known to come up with a rhyme for "cathedral", American singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg (53).
"Primeval", if you're interested.

The Queen Mum croaked three years ago; not too many of our happy band were on this site then.
The Pope's death is the only one I saw recorded on here.
Very quiet on here today ... so far.
-
I don't think so - only Gerald Ford even got an invitation as far as I can tell - so any carnage among the great and good would have to have been discussed on the "other" page, as with Prince Rainier.
-
It's my new avatar they all love
"Dr Waldmann" by Lichtenstein, for all those that are (obviously not) interested.
-
I must say it was quite an impressive array of Heads of State. In a way though, it was a pity that Al-Qaeda's Man on the Ground
couldn't get a bit nearer, we could have had a busy few days on here. -
Here we go again ... I'm starting to get deja vu ... Deep Throat, Linda Lovelace, Marc Almond etc etc
-
I can give you one for each side of the Atlantic: John Forsythe (Blake Carrington, Dynasty) and Anna Wing (Lou Beale, Eastenders). Both well over 80.
Plus Gretchen Franklin who I think was on last year's list.
-
My uncle used to work for Stirling Moss, as a driver, curiously. It's not much of a claim to fame I know, but that, and the fact that I once served three members of B*Witched in a pub, will have to do.
(Note to josco: B*Witched were a briefly popular "girl group" of the 1990s)
-
None of this is making any sense to me I'm afraid, but shouldn't it be du hast?
-
Really? Britain, Monaco and ... Poland?
-
Yes they were briefly en vogue on Jeremy Vine's show on Radio 2 a little while back. He played their versions of "Ace of Spades" and "Walk This Way" quite a bit. I'd like to know what Lady Grendel makes of them.

...just about to go and listen to some great music on cd at 4 in the morning, to be continued,........... Stryper and AC/DC are calling me ......................................................For the sake of your neighbours, i hope you have headphones - you can't play that stuff quietly!
Heard some AC/DC on the radio last night: "You Shook Me All Night Long."

(Are records even called albums anymore now that everything is cd and not vinyl?)I think the answer to that is that they're still called albums, but not records, unless they're LPs. "Album" is a generic term (I hope that's right, Mr Josco!) encompassing CDs, LPs and cassettes, but as I expect you know it's almost impossible to buy new releases on vinyl these days and cassettes are also falling from favour.
Having recently invested in a new record player, I will be going to a record fair in Maidstone on Sunday week and will no doubt be coming back with armfuls of second-hand LPs and singles, much to the dismay of Mrs Cerberus, who then has to listen to them (cue cries of "what's this rubbish!" etc)
-
And if we take total postings on a thread, not necessarily on this years list, the next one to go will, sadly, be Mr Josco's Little Man.
Wow, have you been looking at my files?
Shouldn't that have read "flies?"
By the way, I wonder what's become of josco's little man's greatest admirer. We haven't heard from Amanda for a while now.

And he'll be contesting his seat in next month's general election - not sure how often he ever gets to Westminster though.

Sorry, it did my Brainin just trying to think of one.
