    French Deathlist 2024

    The pedantry is grammar-related. Accuracy and keeping to the rules is not pedantry. The rules for the list specify "French-speaking personalities (and not exclusively French per se)" and so Petula Clark certainly qualifies.

    Death List Convention

    I might be tempted to venture out, although I don't drink as much as I used to (reaches for cocktail shaker)

    Political Frailty

    Checking with the OED, it does seem that, strictly speaking, Millwall is right and the term is not confined to sexual abuse of children. My impression is that it's acquired a more specific meaning over time. Unlike 'paedophile' which is being used indiscriminately now.

    Glockler had something wrong with him a few years back, didn't he? I think he was on my 'Long Shot Kick De Bucket' team of people who might die that year but probably wouldn't.
  11. It was no yolk, I'm telling you.
  12. I just cut open a Scotch egg, and there was no yolk in the egg.

    I'm going to see Jerry Sadowitz...

    Maybe just amend the title to "Jerry Sadowitz" then. That would keep it current.

    Oh and another thing. Amazon seems to have dropped the question and answers section, and replaced it with a general round up of what people liked and didn't like. Now it was annoying when dimwits replied to a question with something like "I don't know, I haven't used it yet". But sometimes there was a reply from the seller or manufacturer to a specific question eg "Does this fit model number XYZ?" which was useful.

    Amazon search function. Whatever I search for, they throw in loads of things that aren't it. If I want cognac, brandy or whisky, I'll search for it, so don't show me those when I've searched for Calvados. If I've selected the Books category, don't switch me to the Kindle Store. I get that they are switch-selling, and sometimes it's useful to get alternative suggestions, but FFS put them at the bottom of the page like they do with the "inspired by your recent browsing" stuff.
