You want this thread...

 

Well, I want more threads like this to give the forum a fucking buzz again.

[En Passant 3,741]

Precisely why I want Deathers back. Frankly Zorders too though he's a bit much for some on occasion I guess.

PC? No way. Snowflakes? Nope. Offensive and opinionated? Yes.

Boring? Never.

 

 

 

You two fucks aren't bad mind .

I've just realised that people are going to be allowed to come into my house again.  Fuck!  I might have to get the vacuum cleaner out.

I mean I know we're all eager to get back to sex and stuff, but those no need to go straight to suction play.

I believe she's available again. 

You could ask her out.  Possibly not using that as a chat-up line though.

Ah but supposing she's a smart bird who just wants some common or garden Norfolk diktat? 

You give up too soon my friend.

As the kids say, "TIL" that Odstock is a real place and wasn't just made up for a beloved DDPers username, having driven past it while looking for a pub toilet.

I have been there, years ago, as Odstock Hospital is or was a specialist burns unit.  I went to visit a friend who'd accidentally managed to set herself on fire.

It was still there and functioning about 2 years ago...there are still signs for it near Salisbury so assume it's open to this day...

Unconvinced.

I reckon somebody had previously used the pub including but not necessarily its toilet then just ran into the sign knocking the Wo at the beginning off and nobody has repaired it.

I'll give it 'til tomorrow.

What an absolute treat watching this Raducanu masterclass at the US Open! Amazing spectacle, amazing sportsperson. If she doesn’t win SPOTY this year then it’s a fix.
 

Best reaction on Twitter:

They should just give it to her now and save us all from 2 hours of tedium.

She did brilliantly.

That said, the medical time out was wonderfully timed. She'd failed to take 3 match points, then lost a game, was break point down on her own serve and there had been a massive momentum shift immediately prior to her cutting her leg.

Seems like a lovely girl. Telegenic too. No doubt she'll be on Graham Norton next week and advertising low fat yoghurt alongside KJT by the week after.

[time 8,592]

I'm not really a tennis fan, but I took an interest and did watch the second set after I saw the first set went her way (I'd just watched Last Night of the Proms and was feeling unusually patriotic). Obviously pleased for her personally,  and for her 'entourage'. What's really pissed me off though, is the number of keyboard warriors (on both sides) either claiming that they had some part in her success (looking at Piers Moron here), or celebrating her victory as a victory for multiculturalism (which it may be) and copying her in on every post!

 

Just let her enjoy the moment ffs!

I was still dwelling on whether as Switch says in the DDP team submitted that 1982 was indeed the best year for pop. I still say 1984. Anyway, in a totally unscientific manner and given I now have completed lists for top 30 hits in the UK charts for 1982, 1983 and 1984 (I still have my 1981 list too if you'd like that list too), I thought I'd have a go at completing a representative chart of the year.

 

Now this isn't by sales, that would be too easy. What I have done here is pick acts who have at least one living member today. Then I have chosen that act's highest charting position in that year. So if an act's best position was #30, it appears at #30 in the list and so on.

 

There obviously has been some competition and debate as to the higher positions where acts are more likely to be tied, so in that case, I've gone with my choice. If anything, it gives you a playlist of that year but it's a fair representative sample of each year which doesn't depend on sales only.

 

So they follow in the next post. Enjoy listening to anything you haven't heard before....

Think I got up to 1986.

Not much correlation between charts and personal taste there, although Teardrops is a proper tune.

 

And not a coroner's tune as autocorrect tried to write!

I think once you take out the dead as I have, such as Michael Jackson, Bowie, Prince, George Michael etc etc, it shows the dominance that a lot of those artists had on the charts at that time.

 

I've said before, if there's something you haven't heard, it might get onto your playlist. I think I listened to The Race on a loop throughout 1988.
