Toast 16,155 Posted September 14, 2019 47 minutes ago, Sir Creep said: I've always considered this a catch-all thread for anyone from the Indian or Asian or sometimes African continents. I agree if someone can be put in a more precise thread that is generally accepted -- Tongan PM most definitely in a stately thread imo -- but for lesser politicians I have no problem at all they end up here (See ND Tiwari for instance...and I have no idea if this is where he ended up). But at no time have I ever considered this thread exclusive to 'the arts' when we have threads for art, broadway, theatre, blah blah. SC If you go back to the birth of the thread, you'll see it was mostly foreign actors, from non-Anglophone countries. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A matter of either accepting threads both as good or narrowing this thread's scope to avoid overlap. "Political frailty" is a figure of speech. In the context of Deathlist thread titles, it's a pun.

Book 3,561 Posted September 16, 2019 German designer Luigi Colani has died at age 91. https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2019/09/16/world/europe/ap-eu-germany-obit-colani.html My father was an architecture and design student in the 1970s, and he had contact with Colani during that time. As a student, he had no money but a pregnant girlfriend, and so Colani gave my father a stroller designed by him. The stroller must have looked like that, but the frame was red and the folding roof orange, I think. Unfortunately, I have no access to my personal children's photos. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
