Disappointed mainly, with some disbelief at what that baseball guy has done to the club. But when all is said and done, its only football. Life goes on. Sadly, there is now a generation of football 'fans' who have grown up thinking they only have to turn up to win, whereas us old timers fans understand (and accept) that losses are part and parcel of the game; all teams go through troughs; no-one has a divine right to win every game. (and also that football existed before the Sky/Premier League).

Gordon Lightfoot obituary. Never in any doubt.

Where's Mr. Blobby then?

Me neither, and to be honest I’m struggling to understand it’s popularity. Back in ‘97 I suppose it could have been all the geriatrics reminiscing about Al Bowlly and/or some sort of backlash against Tori Amos, but now?

I can't see a problem with posting the death of a WWII vet in the WWII vets thread.

Mobile phone.

Why the fuck have I posted this in the wrong thread? Obviously belongs in Room 101.

Amazon Music. They updated the app not so long ago, removing the capability to listen to a whole album as originally released and therefore presumably how the artist intended. Instead it now "shuffled the album you selected with similar songs" which means not only do you not listen to the album you want to listen to, you also listen to a lot of crap you have no interest in. Anything by a solo female singer (or a 60s playlist) virtually guarantees the inclusion of Cilla Black, and anything newer virtually guarantees the inclusion of U2. I've found myself listening to German Schlager and US kids TV songs.

On the one hand, swearing allegiance to the king does make more sense than pledging allegiance to a flag. On the other, swearing allegiance to anything should have died with King Arthur.

Now you tell me!

Its 72 years since the death of Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, aged 62. He's chiefly remembered for being a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlagel.

While this was the part that established him as a film actor, his actual breakout role was as Arthur Parker in the BBC's adaptation of Dennis Potter's Pennies from Heaven.

Not everyone; there are four of the last 10 I think are absolute shite.

Swedish American actress Ann-Margret is 82 today. In addition to her acting roles, she also appeared as Oprah Winfrey's body on the cover of a 1989 TV Guide.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but seriously, no Bardot?

I've posted previously my opinion on the nonsensical phrase 'pre-order(ed)'; recently the even more nonsensical phrase "available to pre-order" has become popular. These people need to look up the definition of 'available'.

Just skimmed through IMDb, the only other name I recognised who's gone was Kit Hesketh-Harvey. There's one or two whose careers haven't lasted but that's a different discussion.

In terms of 'fame' I'll throw in Irving Berlin, George Burns & Bob Hope (in addition to Kirk Douglas).

I hate banks.
