    French Deathlist 2024

    Not if you're Shamima Begum apparently. That'd be storm in a coffee cup (with milk). What you really want is tempete dans une tasse de the (according to google translate anyway, my french is up to the task of coffee but not tea or storms). Anyyyyywayyyyyy. Surely it's a French list for French members and they can call on whomever they like really - non? It could be as unimportant as once used french polish, drank french onion soup or even do what one does in a french letter (though how would one know?). Centreville just doesn't have the same ring to it as Downtown mind.

    It's ok, I just compare as Dwayne rather that Boris. Nothing to do with his nickname at all - nothing.

    French Deathlist 2024

    Then I'd say you've a reasonable chance of declaring yourself, or your guests, eligible for a French Deathlist as you've clearly been lying to all of us for a while about living anywhere near Glasgow at all.
  4. Disgraced? I'll say. Not satisfied merely offering lobbying services for £4,000 a month, he has history deer worrying in Richmond Park
  5. I wouldn't know (or care), but my problem with him is that he always seems so far up himself he doesn't need anyone else anyway.

    Off the top of my head you can add Dennis Lawson who is 4 years older than Hammill but younger than the other two.
  7. I thought he was on mod preview..due to But he did a crafty swerve on that by stating he was going for a walk to consider his position - then basically opening the door, looking out and deciding it was too cold or raining or a wednesday or summat and coming straight back here with more bs.

    What's your view? You give it on everything else.

    I've never understood this type of behaviour. What exactly were they expecting? It's not as if you could go in thinking you were seeing something as anodyne as a Peter Kay routine on dunking your biscuits or Michael McIntyre on anything.

    Which, even though I didn't use the video that much anyway, was the final straw on my Prime membership. 9 quid a month is 108 a year, not much in the great scheme maybe, but I'm rarely in that much of a hurry and in the month or so since I quit it's taken maybe a day longer and is still free if you do 20 quid or so. Further, Amazon is not the cheapest by default anymore, the ratings are 'gamed' to hell and back, everything is some alpha-betti spaghetti name where the quality is at best questionable and at worst just dreadful. And lastly if I can give money to anyone who isn't Bezos and is preferably a british company (ha! I try) so much the better. Their returns are good though, at least for me, never had an issue.

    Alex Higgins (And Snooker)

    Entirely possible, though again, I've known a bunch of people did too much of both and were perfectly pleasant throughout. Still I guess it doesn't help if you have a mean streak underneath that shines* through. *Yeah, I know, I chose the word anyway.

    Alex Higgins (And Snooker)

    Of course the two aren't mutually exclusive. I've always considered him one of the most gifted natural players but never bought into the 'peoples champion' bullshit, I always thought he was a selfish arsehole - at least as much as one can tell from what's available publicly.

    No gain without pain. Research is all. There's some seriously dedicated poolers about and the competition can be fierce.

    I do wonder at the efficacy of some of these bankruptcies from the point of view of HMRC (ultiimately us) or any other creditor. Maybe there's an accountant hereabouts? Whilst I know there are huge downsides to bankruptcy for the average person, I'm rather less assured of those problems being as insurmountable for the semi-famous. They still have the ability to make money from their fame that most simply do not. AFAICT she gets rid of potentially a million odd quid of debt with no long term need to pay it back, then goes straight back to earning the same amount (huge quantities more than average people) from only fans or whatever place is prepared to pay for her 'services'. That's not to say I'm entirely unsympathetic, taking care of Harvey as she did would have been a strain on anyone, but it does seem to be a little odd that one can manage it twice in 5 years. Starting to look like a habit.
