Political Discussions And Ranting Thread
maryportfuncity replied to Deathray's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Story in the Sunday Times a couple of days back suggested Boris' people and Farage's people are considering some joint activity to pitch the pair of them into positions that'll allow them to take over Tory operations after the pending defeat. All entertaining nonesense IMHO which suggests two things that are blatant bollocks; firstly that in the aftermath of the car crash election defeat the nation's concerns will continue to be the right-wing stuff currently being peddled by the Tories as the potential turn-the-polls-around miracle they need and secondly that Boris and Nige could act in ways trustworthy enough to build a solid basis to work together. -

Tory gallows humour -
Oh aye, my bad - and of course the prestige of the FA Cup still to play for (arf!)

Aye, and - apparently - convinced several people of the value of going that route -
Palace currently 4-0 up vs Manchester United, which will leave United looking at a maximum 60 points. Taxi for ten Hag, then?

Meanwhile in Scotland, John Swinney will be enthroned rather than elected against an opponent - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0lgnm3037o -

BBC chart at the moment has the Tories in THIRD place on seats won, four behind the Lib Dems (who've gained 25 seats whilst the Tories have lost 150) - so any claims about the mayoral victory are just third polishing (heh heh, see what I did there!) -

People I Was Surprised To Find Are Still Alive
maryportfuncity replied to Catherine's topic in DeathList Forum
More a reminder than a discovery, but as the Let it Be movie (1970) gets a reboot following the television series that mined all the footage it's dragging director Michael Lindsay-Hogg (seen here on the right in 1944) back into the newsfeeds. So much so, in fact, maybe the fact he turns 84 on Sunday might get mentioned too. -

Aye, well, either way - the mayoral stuff is bucking the overall trend so when the dust settles on yesterday's shit storm for the Tories they'll come out swinging as much as they can claiming the mayoral stuff as a success, that'll spike any remaining rebels in parliament so there won't be a move to oust Sunak, he'll seek to hang on in the hope of turning things round, which won't succeed very well, and as autumn heads into winter we'll go to the polls in the pouring rain and deliver the worst election result for the Conservatives in living memory. Or summat. That's my best guess anyway - coffee and a warm scone beckons -
Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen
maryportfuncity replied to The Four Horsemen's topic in DeathList Forum
Yeah, no discussion of cause so you're suspecting suicide until told different. As I recall it, years ago we discussed the tonnage of cricket suicides and I just checked again about a book on that subject, published in 2001. Point being I don't recall a book about suicides in any other major sport.
