Toast

I happen to think that most individuals are only worth a thread if they are known to be ill, have a reckless lifestyle, or are regularly in the news. Otherwise these threads tend to sink quickly into obscurity, and people forget they exist. There are generic threads to cover most people.

That level of sexism still existed even in to the 90s and I'm sure it still exists toda (in some places) I meant for a prime time telly show. Well, that's how it was in the 70s. You'll be surprised with how much sexual innuendo and even racist jokes you could get away thing in those days. It wasn't that long ago that a radio presenter mentioned that visibility where she was living was so poor that she suggested that black people should open their eyes and smile to avoid being run over crossing the street. Back in the 70s there would be raucous laughter from the studio audience and contestants. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1567904/Sarah-Kennedy-cant-see-black-people-in-dark.html There's seem to be a fair whack of defence for it in the Torygraph. It is true though. It's really no different from saying someone with blond or white hair is easier to see than a dark-haired person, if they are dressed in dark clothes and walking along a dark road.

Looks like George R.R. Martin on a slimming diet.

I've been here since 2007 and as far as I can remember I've only started two threads. (actually on checking I see it's three, but nm)

Good idea. And make a rule that anyone mentioned in it will score minus points on all deadpools.

"New documentary claims Prince Philip cheated on The Queen" Nothing new there, those stories have been told over and over again. "While the production doesn’t name any women in particular" Everybody else could though.

These bloody sweepstakes. Open a thread thinking there might be news to find it's just another guess.

Who, me? I didn't post the Ronaldo pic.

For a number of reasons, I believe. And his nose. And his toecaps.

Do you know who BHB is?

That's the decommissioned turbine hall, scheduled for demolition soon - but not today!

So are you saying that these DVDs are basically home-made ones that people have downloaded and burned on to discs? Or could some be genuine advance copies? That's all I'm asking. Just curious.

I'm not going to buy one, I'm just curious. Last year's series of Game Of Thrones is out on DVD on 14 March, but there are lots of them on ebay. Here's one

This place? True,ish. Or they're shit hand cams. The pre Oscar season is great for this, they send out screener DVDs to the judging panel long afore their in the cinema and they obviously get pirated. Hateful Eight and The Revenant were 2 examples I watched in December. But would these have authentic packaging and all the extras?

People selling DVDs on ebay weeks before they are officially released anywhere. Where do they get them from?

Not much gets past you, does it?

Isn't it the Guardian that accepts obits from readers? 'Other Lives' I think they call it. Why not write one yourself and send it in

Yes, it should be moved as she certainly doesn't seem to be a homeless vagrant or tramp. Nor is she a porn star. I'd just put this in the Possibilities thread, unless she qualifies as a Foreign Personality?

Have they thought of getting those Hurts lads to do it? They're very popular in Euroland.

Makes a change from wankbadger.

I have got completely lost in this sentence (which ironically begins with the word 'simply').

This is the ideal moment for new poster "Guy From Future" to step in and make the winning entry in the sweepstake.

Edit: I forgot the link! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3457221/KATIE-HOPKINS-ll-never-know-really-happened-Maddy-parents-accept-share-blame-let-go.html She is right. But a bit late.
