Lafaucheuse 4,020 Posted October 15 Did Carol Burnett has* a stroke at some point ? Something’s weird with her mouth and speaking abilities recently. Could be just age but definitely sounds frailer than she used to. * we don’t say did she had, right ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livingbygrace 308 Posted October 15 Because of her age, and being she is one of my favorite people I was going to put her on my 2025 list regardless if she might look like she has a few years in her yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted DL will be starting in Nov. or Dec. Maybe they will hang on till some people can put him on that list to get a hit. I myself never like putting these type of people on my deathlists. Sure they are an easy hit, but the hit would be so pointless and meaningless to me if I do not know them anymore then a stranger who lives 6 miles from me on a milking farm named Frank. When I get a hit from a list I want to at least to know them on some kind of level. I can't go into details but I attended the funeral of a hit that I got a few years ago on the Derby Deadpool.

It's complicated. He did put money in but earlier in his life he was sort of a union goon for hire with a habit of badly injuring folk so I know a fair number involved in the Hillsborough campaign who never forgave him for his earlier thuggery. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He and Eritrean Bereket Mengisteab seem indestructible. Both very old, quite frail and the most notable musicians ever from their (small, obscure and very low on the HDI) countries, both still performing. I think with both of them there's a small chance of a BBC obituary as I recall a lot of quite obscure African musicians have gotten mentions when they've died. Some examples, John Nzenze and Hudeidi in 2020, Tshala Muana and Ethiopia's Honky Tonk Nun last year. Solly Moholo (who does not even have a Wikipedia page) got a BBC obituary the day after he died, another reason to pick obscure African musicians on your teams next year.

I see, thanks, yes, the wiki page for that club says they play in the West Scotland League, not the "real" Scotland league, so it's not the fourth tier, but the fourth tier of the fifth tier, so to say.

Counted as the ninth as you can be promoted from there to the top flight, it'd just take eight years at least. Threave were in the South of Scotland league (sixth tier) but shifted to West for an easier route. So far so backfiring. Anyhow, really obscure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
