Toast

I said this ages ago, but did manage to get the "rugby" tag added. It didn't even have that before.

Johnson has also had the virus so his immune system must be massively boosted.

Huh? She's 22, he's 23.

Ah, so he is. Thanks.

That's rubbish. Kept updated with dates of death, they would still be a useful reference showing who the last survivors were.

Well, next time they pop up with the begging bowl they can fuck right off.

I'll try Angela Lansbury again, as she didn't get much of a run at it last time.

This should be in the racing thread as it has nothing to do with Lester. As an aside, I used to know the person who tweeted that.

This is something I run through regularly, and I have developed a routine of remembering the island countries in groups. St Lucia, St Kitts, St Vincent (St) Antigua and Barbuda, Trinidad and Tobago (&) Dominica, Dominican Republic, Haiti Bahamas, Barbados (B) Which leaves the trio of Jamaica, Grenada, Cuba. Buggered if I can place them all correctly on the map though.

Angela Lansbury. Because I don't think I've picked her before.

I think it turns on whether the list is to be directly comparable to the DL, which tends to be UK centric. In which case one would need to ask oneself "Would the committee be likely to consider this person?"

After the fire she definitely referred to Windsor Castle as her "home", in contrast to the other royal residences.

Bruce Springsteen lay down on my arm once. He didn't acknowledge me though.

You really are a brainwashed little wokeflake. I bet if it was a black person you'd be all over them supporting someone of their own heritage, but as a white English person I'm not allowed to have any such preferences. It's only a minor bit of tribalism, and it's perfectly natural and harmless. And don't you dare call me "ignorant". I've been around a lot longer than you have and have seen a lot more than you, including much worse social injustice. I grew up when racism really was rampant and endemic in this country - largely through genuine ignorance because older people had rarely seen anyone with a black or brown face. My generation was better informed, we had television which opened the wider world to us. We were inspired by the summer of love and flower power. We were exposed to black American music like Tamla Motown and we saw black music artists regularly on TV. (We never dreamed of using the word "black" in those contexts, mind, because we were taught that it was offensive.) I'm not going to waste any more of my time on you.

Oh, do fuck off. There is nothing wrong with being proud of one's own heritage and cheering the success of others who share it. And yes, I have seen and heard people being branded as "racist" for mentioning ER's heritage. So you are wrong. Get back on topic with your pathological hatred of the Royal Family.
