Big lump inside her right cheek, which was also there when she showed up on my local news last week. I'm assuming we're well short of Linda Nolan territory, but...anyone know owt? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tv/article-13405209/Eurovision-Sonia-unrecognisable-Loose-Women.html I remember seeing her on The Weakest Link either last year or earlier this and thinking something didn't look right then.

What a way to go. Slightly tastier than you make it out if IIRC Legged it out of the back of a shop and tried to cross a main road at which point THREE cars hit her in rapid succession. If you're into grim jokes you could say that's one musician who died in a jam session 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted September 25 So, this year was NOT the end of the road for Hawkwind, not sure if Dave Brock got a medical second opinion or he's given the band his blessing to go onstage without him, or it's a Jet Black job wherein someone else does his job and he wanders on towards the end to huge applause to do a little bit. They can't be specific for a few days (not even to name a venue) but Hawkwind are on tour in 2025 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
