Toast

It wouldn't be Christmas Day without the traditional visit from the friend desperate to escape the bosom of his family for an hour and a spliff. He's just left.

Yay, I have tickets to see the Skids next month. Half-price deal anall.

Hmm. No, it's more straightforward than that

The Queen extremely smiley, so she must be happy with whatever condition he's in.

I prefer a new thread for each competition. It makes for less "clutter", not more. The threads for completed competitions just sink to the bottom, out of the way.

Most deadpools have a new thread for each year. Makes it much easier to find stuff like teams, scoreboard etc.

I concur, but that's not the answer.

You've omitted to name the two songs though, which is the point, really.

Yes, I have no recollection of it either. I thought I vaguely remembered something called 'All I Want For Christmas Is A Dalek' but I must have confused it with something else. Anyway Connect T. Rex to David Gray in six-degrees-of-separation style. Two songs should crop up along the way.

Ah .....

My feelings exactly.

I agree with Deathray.

Whatever turns you on, love.

Glad to hear you're not Deathrace material, LFN.

I can't see imgur images. I'm using Vodafone wifi and they have a problem with imgur's security certificate. It's a pain.

He's actually dead already, having shuffled off his mortal coil in 2011.

Lardy !!!!!!!!! You've been missed. Don't be a stranger.

Happy to admit that I have no idea what 4chan is. I don't watch much TV and don't play video games, so all things considered I have no chance of guessing this one!

I had a huge crush on him when I was about five, and he was Dr Kildare. The first of many disappointments.

Mine's Gmail too, just checked again, nothing, checked the spam and the trash in case I deleted it by mistake, but nada.

I don't think I've had the email either.

I got them all, but there was some luck involved. Strategy was to skip to the ones I knew, then go back to the ones that sounded right, and guess the rest which was easier once most had been eliminated.

Can you pick the people who died in 2018 by the third sentence in their Wikipedia article? https://www.sporcle.com/games/MrWhiplash/3rd-rip-2018

Could be his father.
