En Passant

Oh cmon admins, we were just getting started, I'll have to find an Old Crem or Iain post to take the piss out of now. It's getting desperately hard to find any joy here lately. *Yes yes, I know, I know. I do know why, and in mods shoes I'd have to do the same. Thankfully here, I'm not.

Leaving 96% of folk who just think it's late and deathers should probably pack it in and go to to bed. I still think nobody should leave the room they are currently in for 14 days. Bye virus.

I was perfectly calm. Larry King dead gag? Can't blame you. Sort of opportunity that has to be taken. Wry chuckle to myself that this'll wind a few posters up. Still perfectly calm. But then..... AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH! You sir, are a twat.

Exactly, I think Mary mistook my rampant unwarranted optimism for any actual effort. Should all the favourites fall in order I might be thereabouts, but any of this uniquey stuff and I'm sunk.

Gz Mary. I'm in it in 2021, so you have no chance of retaining your title. None. None at all. No sir.

To be fair, if Iain were to wish death on everyone who has called him a dickhead Rush Limbaugh probably wouldn't make the top 10.

Does being hopeful work better in bold? I'll have to try that because as ever I'm getting nowhere at all in standard Times New Roman. Perhaps I'll try impact even Comic Sans. Yes, I'm at a bit of a loose end for a minute.

I wondered the same thing, so I emailed The Pew Research Center asking about it and they have in fact just replied. "We are an American institution (that's why we can't spell center) and Donald Trump just bought Greenland (technically, the transaction is still in process), therefore its current status as an independent state is irrelevant going forward. Also, the blue felt-tip ran out".

Gerald Ford. (Succeeded both Spiro Agnew as vice president and Richard Nixon as president when they respectively resigned).

I've no doubt of a 'bounce back', especially once that utter tit is out of office (even if it doesn't silence him), nor that this is the first blip they've ever had, clearly it isn't. However, this one is different enough to at least put a pretty big dent in their practice of preaching democracy to the rest of the world for a while. At least you might have thought so. Out of interest in exactly how democratic the world is today, I dredged up this.

How is anyone going to know?

Yeah, no worries Deathers, I didn't know the history of this pool and rightly or wrongly joker and wildcard have never been directly interchangeable in my mind so thought it might be two different things here as well, Sorted anyway.

Ah good, we are joined by yet another hyper-aggressive twat. Your name doesn't contain any variation of 'kenny' does it? Are you US based? Are you over 20? Take your time.

Tough Crowd.

Which is indeed what I was basing it on, released 1979 so presumably mostly shot in 78/79 making him 26'ish if born in '52 and 18'ish if born in '60. Just a young looking mid 20's then I guess.

Which say's he was 68? Seems unlikely, wiki has 60 ....

Making overpriced headphones.

Don't see it toasty. Sure Garden Centres are useful, but I can't see any argument for essential. Gardening sure, going to the garden centre? Nope. Same goes for planes since TQR brings it up at least those carrying people rather than food. Supermarkets have to be open, people have to eat, that they carry other lines is incidental. I don't care if they close those aisles off to be honest, though once you are there.... I can't get the idea out of my head that if nobody saw anybody else for the length of the virus infection period, what is it? 14 days they decided now? 10? Whatever. Boom, no virus. I know it's impractical. But we should be able to get closer than we have. People arguing to keep the one or two things they like open just gets in the way.

Garden Centres? Really??

I try quite hard not to be a hater. But honestly? You do a reasonable job of that without outside help.

Not a trace Eliza. Though you can keep the fiver, I knew well enough the fallacy of my claim. Unsurprising really.

Mark Twain will be turning in his grave (now that he's actually in it).

Jerry! It is you and icm £5.
