Toast

Not a black olive tree, then?

"Authored" ..... <shudders>

Shouldn't that be in Political Frailty? Oh, it is.

What about this then? Man goes on a business trip, picks up a stranger in the hotel and dies of a heart attack while having sex with her. The French court decides it was an industrial accident so his company has to pay compensation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49662134 One for the "you couldn't make it up" file.

One for Ironic Deaths, surely.

Go on, then.

FTFY

I don't think you can complain about that, there have been quite a few so far.

I like that.

One of his ancestors was possibly the father of one of my illegitimate ancestors. I personally am not convinced. I expect it was the butler, or one of the gardeners or stable boys.

What an extraordinary statement.

I think he knows that.

For once I agree with Robert. Isn't there a pop star thread?

No, he had plenty of those, just not one so far that satisfies the DDP, unless I missed it.

But easier to spell - oh wait .....

Since we're still waiting on a Robin Herd QO, I'd say so.

Oooh! He could have gone in the Farmers thread.

And the beeswax, don't forget that.

Actually the type of quince tree I bought is £45 here (and that's a reduced price). I paid twenty quid. And no delivery charges.

I see you're having one of your moments.

I don't see why it's pointless. I was going to start a shopping thread but was careful to search first and found an existing thread which entertained me for a while. Others may also enjoy its randomness. WTF has Amazon got to do with it? My purchases yesterday were made at an outdoor event, not hunched over a laptop in a basement.
