It doesn't bother me that I haven't heard of some of them but I like to understand why I haven't heard of them. I don't watch soaps or sports but accept that would give people a legitimate call on celebrity status but Love Island contestants and YouTube influencers leave me cold.

My wife has just finished watching a binge watch of the Tenko boxer. Surprised at how damn good this was and made me pine for the days of superior BBC dramas

Surely from this site we should be all over the ultimate nepo-baby Bobby Brazier. After all his mum's name is still a by-word for deadpooling oppotunism

I am not doubting you. Apologies if you thought I was. I was just seeing that it was very slow at being reported. For me your expertise in this subject area is enough to convince me but I am trying to police my own deadpools with rigour and don't want to award points without the stated levels of proof applied across the board. So sorry for your loss

I was a student at the time and every sunday I would listen to the Top 40 while finishing off any outstanding work from the previous week. There was some good stuff but not necessarily the stuff that was really popular

Looking at the current leaders and those that have qualified in the previous round I don't think any of this lot will be breaking into my top 10

I see on Wiki this morning that there has been an abortive attempt to edit his page but nothing showing in a search on X or on the news sites

Just done a search on X and there seems to be nothing since April

Scavvy Hunt pick

That is true which is why the French and D-A-CH lists are quite interesting but the committee are all UK based and it is our cultural archeology that dominated the site. It would be a poorer place without discussions on people like Dennis Skinner and Pete Murray

Because America does not have a Royal Family...

Ironically Ethel Kennedy is in a similar position to Bernadette Chirac being a political spouse who has developed her own degree of fame I could understand that someone French may never have encountered Dennis Skinner or Pete Murray but one of the delights of this site is the cultural archeology and the shared experience is mostly that of the British, English speaking user. However I would not be upset come Jan 01st to find that BC has been included in the 2024 list

Examples?
