  1. I'm sad Hole In My Shoe didn't make it, but I was clearly its only fan so it was always a lost cause.

    What are you drinking?

    Drinking a Vancouver Gin, Benedictine, Martini Dry and Rosso, orange bitters Really nice. I may try this again with just dry vermouth, and again with just the rosso.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    His popularity is irrelevant. He may have conned thousands into voting Conservative, but he's still a lying, faithless, unscrupulous cunt whose only motives are his own betterment and profit. He was not fit to be in the same room as Her late Majesty.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    It goes to show how conscientious and determined she was to carry out those last duties. It is a shame that her precious energy was wasted on such undeserving cunts as Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    End of life morphine doses don't kill instantly. You can sit at a deathbed all day and all night, but pop out to the loo and they die while you're gone.

    More likely it was the morphine.

    Only Fools And Horses

    It was a private parking ticket issued by one of those cowboy firms FIVE years ago, so it's a non-story. Those can usually be cancelled by the store manager if you can justify your actions.

    HARE'S DEATH POOL 2023

    I'm in the Meh group, but with 10 hits which is more than any of the Respectables. Just unlucky with the timing, so not downcast. Thanks to AFB for the comprehensive round-up

    Twisted DL 2023-2024

    Quite natural, it's an odd choice of nickname. Thea for Theadora is more usual, or there's always Dora.

    FTFY. Theo is a she. Theodora.

    Seen Any Good Films Lately?

    The Banshees of Inisherin. My disappointment cannot be overstated. I was expecting something along the lines of Waking Ned, dark comedy with gentle Irish humour. But this was horrible, depressing, and not credible. The actors were good, as was the scenery, but there was precious little humour and not much going on. Very repetitive. And inexplicably gruesome. Bafflingly it got loads of Oscar nominations, and justly won none.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2025

    I'm sure they would, as he became Duke of Kent at the age of six after his father was killed in a plane crash.

    Alt Obituaries Deadpool

    I think it's just ignorance of the candidate and a failure to check them out properly. He rejected the Duchess of Kent one year. I politely expressed surprise, pointing out that she was internationally familiar for presenting the ladies trophy at Wimbledon, and he backtracked, saying I could have her after all. I suppose he assumed she was just some obscure British aristo and didn't bother to look her up.

    Death In The Family

    Condolences. Sudden deaths like this are, I think, the way we all hope to go, but it's always harder for family and friends when death comes out of the blue.

    It also means that the thread will show up when people click on Unread Content, which is what I normally do. That brings up a list of threads that have new posts since I last visited.

    Sinéad O'Connor aka Shuhada' Davitt

    Predictive text has a lot to answer for too.
  25. Agree, although it's not my favourite Donovan song and I'd put Spencer Davis there instead. And I do have a soft spot for Traffic's psychedelic Hole In My Shoe. They must have been really off their faces when they came up with that.
