Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted February 26, 2019 Sorry to hear this, my former MP. For all that he seemingly was anti-gay, anti-women and anti-ethnic minorities, he did actually try really hard for his local constituency in between berating Nelson Mandela. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 27, 2019 Why would the Secretary of State of Oregon get a QO? He’s a unique—there was no interest (in a guy w stage 4 panc). The fact he’s on that DDP team is an overreach. THAT said, he made my list of about 40 possibilities for March Cup but I gave him the axe despite his ‘decreasing workload’. Oops! Looks like he really decreased it now. Makes me wonder how many more I’m misjudging. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted February 27, 2019 Short thought while I'm having a sandwich at work and can't check. Does msc's theme team now tie the previous record of non-obitness, i.e. Shameless 1.0 with 7 non-obits and one premature Dec obit (Tanya Gendle)? Also, my thoughts also matched SC's.
