En Passant

Authenticity take a step too far.

I did notice it, but also have no idea what for or exactly when.

Occam's razor. The man was, as you point out, a hubristic narcissist who was facing undeniable ruin to his 'reputation' and possible financial ruin also (though one suspects that may not be quite the same as for us mere mortals, merely down to his last few million). He topped himself. Then again, I'm no fan of conspiracy theories in the first place. Of course that doesn't mean some of them aren't possible but there are for more theories on any number of notable events than any evidence has ever been found for. If such evidence shows up in this case, so be it, I won't be holding my breath though.

I know deathers. Toasty knows I know too.

Under Avatar. Gender: Not Telling. So Toasty, either you let the cat out of the bag or you can speak 'as a woman' without actually admitting to being one

Never seen Alien then. Probably better if she doesn't now.

When a daddy frog loves a mummy frog ever so much.... Groan.

Ah Damn. Updating 10 names once a month (or less if nobody goes) is just too much effort to remember And thus if nobody goes this month I'm out on late delivery, ah well I'm an amateur and surprised I lasted this long. QE2 Frates Alagiah OnJ Phil Harper Jaffee Cardin Carter Josex2 First 4 are Junes carried over as the 5 allowed from 2 months ago. Nearly put Doris Day.....shows how clued up I am.

"Having been found guilty of the charges she will now argue against being struck off and having to pay £22,762 in costs for 40 hours work by Solicitors' Regulatory Authority." I wouldn't argue for too long if I were you Fi, not at £569.05 an hour.

'in her words, to say "ta-ta and it's been fun".' Yes, seems it does.

More background on the manager and the upcoming show. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-49082796 "For the first three weeks Russell was undefeated but that was only because the terrible weather meant all the Fort's games were cancelled. When he finally saw action it was away against Lossiemouth, the second worst team in the league. They had only won one game all season and that was against Fort William. Could this finally be The Fort's first win in almost two years? Well, no. They lost 5-0."

Made me smile anyway.

For Caledonian Thistle FC - yes. Triggers broom...

Apparently 'chasing cars' is the most popular song of the 21st Century despite never getting higher than #6. However, it's formulaic shit. Bollocks, I give up. I feel old.

Who? QED

Downstairs my man for that sin alone. I can still bring it to earworm status with no effort at all forty years later. And I can also still picture that ludicrous woman jigging about on the carpet with a hoover (please no links to the youtube of it that I'm sure exists ) That said, I played your link, and to be honest I think I prefer the shake and vac ad which is quite something.

If it turns out to be the Earth I want a quiet word in a darkened room with @The Quim Reaper
