Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny spring day, and me and some friends were driving through Wales. At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch we stopped for lunch and I asked the waitress: “Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us. Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly?” The girl leaned over and said: “Burrr… gurrr… King.”

It's an up and down business anyway.

If he had lived another couple of months, he would have got a telegram from his wife.

Although it's something you would expect Phil to say. Something along the lines of "I have no problem with black people. In fact I think every household should have one"

It was only a matter of time, but still sad news

Should have posted this a couple of months ago as back in January it was the 30th anniversary since he was crowned https://royalcentral.co.uk/europe/norway/queen-margrethe-sends-anniversary-greeting-to-king-harald-and-queen-sonja-156380/

How does 7 women over the course of a decade constitute as a "massacre"?

Lori is lovely. I had the honour of working alongside her a couple of times at venues where she was either DJing or working the bar while I ran the merch table for the band playing that night. One such time, I was working for Anna Marie Lewis (Jerry Lee Lewis' niece).

I lived in London up until 17 years ago, had a few BIT albums and saw them a couple of times. Having moved to Minneapolis in 2004, they're probably more known in the US. Their popularity rose when grunge came about. They did a reunion gig a few years ago and a friend's daughter's band opened for them. But to answer your question. if you're in to that style of music, they'll be known to you.

Well to be fair, it's only recently that she was moved to a hospice.

She's currently in a hospice here in Minneapolis

Lori Barbero is a friend of mine, I'll see if she's heard anything

Gene Taylor, keyboardist for The Blasters and several other bands such as Fabulous Thunderbirds and Canned Heat has died at the age of 68.

Apparently the surgery went well, he is recovering in ICU at the moment.

They have a couple in and and around Minneapolis. People rave about them, but I find that they have a waxy taste to them

It waa used originally by Bette Davis when commenting on the death of Joan Crawford

Totally disappointed with Vera Ramone King (Dee Dee Ramone's first wife) who said this on Linked-In about Limbaugh "He was a trail blazer for all Patriots! He will be SO missed" I've lost any respect I had for her
