You sure about that? To my knowledge he was on an exclusivity contract with TalkTV, meaning he'd be banned from appearing on GBNEWS.

I interviewed Dennis a couple of times. Can't say it was the best experience, rather tedious in fact. Very shouty. The man loved the sound of his own voice. Also used to go off on the most random tangents ever (in a Grandpa Simpson "I'm going to tell you my entire life story" type way). I think he was quite principled but he certainly wasn't consistent. Years ago he'd moan about older MPs never giving up their seats, saying that it was selfish and hindered younger MPs having a stab at it. "I would never starve a young man of a job. I've always been for the workers" blah blah blah. He was determined he'd be out of there by 70. That didn't happen ofc. He went on and on and on, until the Tories finally knocked him out. His constituents really were fed up of him by 2019. He had become so inactive locally. Skinner ofc isn't alone on this one. Many of these older MPs don't know when it's time to go. The Tory Party recently begged a few of their MPs to stand down at the next election in exchange for seats in the Lords. Quite a few of them well into their 70s have refused.

Is Piers Morgan actually in hospital with COVID or are Piers and Tate just trolling each other? From what I can tell from Piers' timeline, he is actually sick with COVID, but I'm not sure if he's actually hospitalised. Has Tate just used an old photo of him from another occasion?

It's not him who's died. It's his son, Talal. Doesn't have a Wiki page (minor royal).

It is the duty of the scum Sun to harass this 97 year old man and his relatives as much as possible. After all, he could be building a death camp as we speak. Vital, vital journalistic work the Sun are doing here.

You’re not stupid though, you know I’m trolling and yet you still bite. Why? Well because you can’t help yourself. I don’t mind this relationship. If it’s dependence you’re after I’m happy to keep feeding you. I’ll think of myself as the old wench on the steps of St Paul’s in Mary Poppins and you as one of my pigeons. Feeeeeeed the Quim. Tuppence a bag.

What’s sad is that every time I throw out my line you come and have a nibble on the bait.

Don’t be sad. Old Shitlocks has gone to his vegan, Republican, anarchist, pro-Hamas, oooooooh Jeremy Corbyn Zion in de sky. One love.

Music carries further internationally than anything else so Laine, Taylor and MacGowan will be known around the world but will vary from person to person based on their age and music tastes. Barker is largely only known in the States but carries elsewhere owing to viral clips of The Price is Right and his cameo appearances in some American movies. Michael Parkinson has some degree of fame worldwide owing to foreign broadcasts of his talk show. Ditto Scales with Fawlty Towers. Agree on the rest being very obscure to most ppl outside their respective countries.

My son, I’ve been pumping out name suggestions on here long before you were playing hopscotch as a wee bairn. Do most of them get some form of QO? Yes. Does anyone pick them on the DDP? Of course not.

To be fair that’s not really saying anything when only 37% of Americans hold a passport and in those “Yanks do geography” type videos online most them point to places like the Gobi Desert or the Korean Peninsula when asked to locate France on a world map.

I’m sure a more permanent solution could be found long term but for next year if you need to set up a pot online somewhere I’m sure we could all chip in something.

Why do I read all your posts in an “Allo Allo” style voice in my head?

Towards the end Norman Lear looked a bit like Cecil Turtle from the old Looney Tunes shorts.

I would have said it was a quad (or a Jewish triple with one goy). He's still got Dick Van Dyke to play dominos with.

Your brain is what's not working right now.

Peter Berkos, 101, is now the oldest living Oscar winner and the last born in 1922.

@YoungWillz, he was never going to get one until drol wrote this. Someone at NYT definitely ghosts this forum!

David Wilshire (wiki), British Conservative MP for Spelthorne (1987–2010), dead at 80. Telegraph obit. Died back on 31 October but only reported now. Very controversial figure – he was the architect of Section 28. Later got fucked by the expenses scandal in 2009 and was forced to stand down.

The IP loc isn’t always the full picture. I’ve regularly used a VPN to access EU blocked American news sites whilst editing. Doesn’t mean I’m sat in my office in Mogadishu.

William H. Webster (wiki) dead at 99?? Director of the CIA and the FBI. Served under Carter, Reagan and Bush Sr.

William P. Murphy Jr. (wiki), American medical doctor and inventor, dead at 100 according to this forum post. Edit: Another 20/20 pick.

She died.

Tbf PB, he offers a bit of comedy relief which makes a nice change from the usual infighting on here. If I were you I’d just let him burn himself out.

Mildred Miller (wiki), American mezzo-soprano, dead at 98.
