Toast

Reading a Rolling Stone interview with Bruce Springsteen, I am tickled pink to learn that he has a terrier called Toast. Springsteen starts to walk me to my car — trailed by two dogs, a German shepherd named Dusty (Dusty Springsteen!) and a small apparent terrier named Toast. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bruce-springsteen-interview-new-album-touring-e-street-band-1059109

Surely there are enough threads discussing the Deathlist, DL Predictions, Shadow Lists etc. Please keep this thread for posting actual deaths, any and all.

Yeah, the latest hits score the highest.

I just quietly edit my team post with a whenever one of them goes.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg always reminded me of my Aunt Pam.

I'll try Dole again.

Make the most of it.

I don't know anything about him, or her, but the context suggests that he might have had some other lifelong illness or condition. I would have thought that if he too died of Covid she would have said so more plainly. Like "now it's taken my brother too", or wtte.

That made me think of Dick and Dom. Word association .....

She doesn't actually specify his cause of death, does she? Unless she says further down - I don't really get how Twitter works.

"Elder abuse"? WTF? Sounds like fraud and theft to me.

Not really, but the use of an apostrophe could shorten that sentence a little. Is this better? He was reportedly struck by a falling bullet fired into the air by a mourner at a funeral for a firefighter killed in last month's port explosion.

And?

I don't think so, because the small amount of protection offered either way by a mishandled mask must be better than none. But I take your point. I can't tolerate wearing a mask the whole time I'm out, so I only wear one when I'm inside a shop. I suppose I should be sealing that mask into a bag and breaking out a new one for the next shop. But I don't, because on a typical day in town I would be going through a lot of masks. As long as it stops me breathing potentially virus-laden exhalations over people, it must be better than nothing.

I was just looking for initial N, thinking Nicholas might be his middle name.

It should do. I expect they'll get round to it. The Wiki page for the band gives quite a lot of detail, including a real name for Tesco of Nick Lightowlers. Not too many of them about, but I don't see a Nicholas. This one might be worth consideration:

No one is forcing you.

To be fair, Book isn't the worst offender. I have heard of a lot of the people on his list, even if they had to be explained to me ("Oh, that guy"). I mean, I'd never heard of Alex Trebek before people started talking about him here, but I was aware of the Jeopardy game show, so that works for me. Most of Book's names that are unknown to me are German, which is fair enough.

Tres bon!

Just to settle any doubts, they are delicious.

And that I bought at least six packets ..... another clue

I've just eaten a whole packet of pineapple Jaffa Cakes. They were half-price in Tesco the other day. I still have five packets left.
