    Fairly standard end times (could have drawn this up in my bedroom in 5 minutes), but was interested to note that the last item was "the unknown" with the folks calling for research into "the unknown". Almost name on a coke bottle stuff! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-12-terrifying-ways-researchers-think-human-civilisation-is-most-likely-to-end-10046945.html

    Do you think they're referring to our very own The Unknown Man?

    Sam Houston, guitarist with Janis Joplin's band Big Brother and the Holding Company, is currently in very perilous health, having experienced a multitude of medical difficulties in recent months.

    Too many cheap thrills?

    Sam HOUSTON?!! Musta been at the Alamo. At least he's in perilous health cuz Sam ANDREWS is worse off. He's dead.

    Sir C

     

    Sam Houston Andrew III to give him his full name.

    There seems to be 27 guests looking up celebrity auctioneers at the moment. Anybody know why?

    How could you possibly know that?

    God is a very busy guy and when his work schedule becomes overloaded he delegates stuff to PB and Hein. He gives them the grandiose title administrators.

     

    On yer knees! :P

    Joanne Borgella, an American Idol contestant and model, dies of cancer at a mere 32.

    Sir C

    Either I have déjà vu or I'm reading something I last read FOUR months ago when she died!

    But that's horseshit too cuz I (now) ALWAYS run a search and her name was nowhere. The search function is anything but foolproof. I've got big shoulders though and take the hit for this.

    Predictor, that Nini Theilade thingy is in Danish, isn't it?

     

    Can you understand it? I can parse fragments, but not much.

     

    regards,

    Hein

    Same here, I pick up a few words here and there, but I think it's much harder to understand Danish when hearing it as opposed to reading it. :24087468: I think of German when I hear it, it has the same type of vocal/intonation "style". Norwegian is much easier for me.

     

    You can think of the three languages as a spectrum where Swedish and Danish are at both ends with Norwegian being in the middle. So, a person from Norway has it easier to understand both other languages than we and the Danes do.

     

    If only we Brits were to put so much emphasis on foreign languages as your guys' countries do. I salute you gentlemen.

    It's been almost a week now since Phillips was admitted to hospital and there doesn't seem to be any word on his condition. Has anyone heard anything?

    uncionfirmed rumours are saying he's in his final days. cant say how accurate they are though

    What exactly is the difference between a confirmed rumour and an unconfirmed rumour?!

     

    I think they're unconfirmed because Guest has been bashing the bishop.

    Zsa Zsa can barely move, see, hear, understand what is going on, etc.

     

     

    A fair summary of her film career I'd say.

     

    Although when she slapped the face of a cop in The Naked Gun 2½ it seemed pretty realistic.

     

    It was actually the cop car that she slapped in the opening credits which was a take-off of when she slapped a cop for harrassing her in real life.

    Her line was "It happens every fucking time when I go shopping"

    Oh dear tbb, I fear you are correct and I apologise. I seem to be going down the same path as my dear sweet uncle Peter from the American side of the family. I haven't heard from him in a few years; I must give him a call.

    Bobbi-Kristina Brown, daughter of the late Whitney Houston, is in a medically induced coma and is on life support.

    I miss the days when the "dead of 2015"-thread was still used for people who actually died in 2015...

     

    Aw come on, every time someone dead appears it's 'oh, there's a thread for that...' or '...as whatsit deadboard posted centuries ago'. Sometimes you just can't win.

     

    PS you could always start an anal posters thread.

     

     

    I'm sure I once bought some anal posters in Athena. Looked lovely on the living room wall.

     

    I used to work at the company that printed Athena posters; I'm saying nowt else.

    I put it in this thread because he was deputy secretary of state in Reagans administration.My apologies to greptile if he posted it first.I didn't see it :blush:

    So why did you start by calling him a financier and posting it in a political thread and then call him a politician? Why not call him a politician first and post it in this thread?
