Now that Space X have said that they will take high paying tourists on a trip round the moon and back are we taking bets on who will go and whether they will get back again or not? Two people have already signed up but their names have not been issued yet.

If that is what you took from my post I wonder why I even bother

109 v 65 - "Almost Double" Never mind the English Language thread, where is the arithmatic thread? It is 21 away from being double!

I still have one of his LPs and also a cassette recording of a radio show of his, timing is perfect, so good that he should really have been British.

The gawdoffal stench of barbeques is in the air this evening, I really fucking hate that smell and the taste of the food is even worse and that is if it is even cooked properly. I have never seen the attraction.

Maureen Arthur is 87, she is known for her role in 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' and also had roles in TV stuff such as The Monkees and The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Personally I never missed a thing on TV as I don't watch any of the chanels that had all the coverage anyway, I would not even have known about his death if there had not been a banner at the botton of the screen on Dave, I saw that as i was flicking through the chanels looking for something to watch while having sometghing to eat. I have no problem at all with the saturation coverage of things like this, they can use as many chanels as they like to mourn, I won't let it bother what I do with my day.

Weather report - it has been snowing heavily at the BBC. The BBC has received 100,000 complaints from members of the public over its coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh's death, according to the Sun newspaper. The corporation cleared its schedules to cover the news when Prince Philip died on Friday, at the age of 99. EastEnders and the MasterChef final were replaced by news programmes, while BBC Four was taken off air completely. Oh Didums, did you miss your programmes?

Hardy Krüger, the one that got away, is 93, he was sentenced to death in 1945 so he has done quite well considering.

Phil is probably the most 'known' person to have died this year but at 99 I doubt if you could say significant, I would suggest that we are looking for someone that was not expected to die anyway and be well known. It would really need to be someone not suggested by the members of this forum as yet.

I see from the news this morning that South Korea are talking about the fourth wave.

I have gone back to Jimmy Carter

You seem to think that other people are not allowed to have an opinion about something if it differs from your own opinion so what does that make you. I post my opinions and I don't give a shit whether you like them or not so just put me on ignore if you don't like what I post. I don't go following you around the forum and picking up on every little thing that you post. You seem to hold yourself to a higher level than me, that's fine but just don't try to talk down to me.

Oh my isn't it snowing quite hard?

Well first off I don't need any chances from you but i'll give you a chance to explain why it is a horrific question? You seem to be quite obsessed with what I post on this site

To mirror that point - why are people still worried about who is anti-gay and who isn't?

Interesting in as much as this could well be me at some point: Norway death: Police ask how Oslo man's body lay in flat for nine years. Police in Norway have asked how a man's body could have lain in his flat for nine years after he is believed to have died. The man had been in his 60s and no-one reported him missing, police told Norwegian broadcaster NRK. Norway death: Police ask how Oslo man's body lay in flat for nine years - BBC News

Julian Lennon, son of Cynthia is 58.

Woman Gets Stuck and Dies in Charity Bin While Dumpster Diving A woman was found dead inside a charity bin in Queensland, Australia on Monday after she became trapped in the opening mechanism while “dumpster diving” for donated items, according to authorities. The 43-year-old woman’s body was discovered by a member of the public who was dropping off clothes outside a shopping centre in Burleigh Heads just after 7AM. She was dangling “half in, half out” of the bin. Police believe the lid to the chute dropped down while she was reaching into the bin, wedging her there—although the exact cause of death is as yet unconfirmed. It is not being treated as suspicious. https://www.vice.com/en/article/4adkmg/woman-gets-stuck-in-charity-bin-dies-dumpster-diving

The Labour leader visited Jesus House in London on Good Friday and later shared a video from his visit online. But after a backlash including from his party's LGBT+ members, Sir Keir called it a mistake and deleted the clip. So you have to check everything before you can even visit a church now....so sad.

Snowing here in Fife this morning along with a blustery to gale force wind.

Nothing on any of the calanders that I have but the 3 other days are named. I have never even heard it called easter Saturday and I have been around for a while.

I feel sorry for Saturday, all the other days over the course of the long holiday weekend have a 'special' name except Saturday. I don't get the whole easter gism anyway but why no special name?

As much as it doesn't bother me at all, Lockdown does not appear to work for the long term so the only place that should get locked down in the future is the hospitals - no more admissions for Covid. They should just let people that catch the virus deal with it at home themselves.
