The Thread about Nothing....

Sean Lock would have made a good Tanner.
RIP cnut.

Today’s reading recommendation is Norco 80.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43192297-norco-80

It’s about a bank robbery and shoot out near the San Bernardino area on the outskirts of LA. This is the incident that caused US wallopers to start using military weaponry.

The book is nearly “Helter Skelter” good.

There’s a Norco 80 podcast as well that’s pretty good for those who are illiterate or have learning difficulties.

I remember wasting half a day of your tax dollars reading all about that one day at work earlier this year.
It taught me to learn military levels of responsibility avoidance.

Was it the Norco one or the North Hollywood shootout?

I think I posted the Rolling Stone story on it once.

Ah ****. Charlie Watts died.

Who would have thought Keeff would outlive any of the others. (Double checks if that's actually the case.)

His hard lived life has Keef well pickled I reckon so he may have found an equilibrium that allows him to keep on kicking.

And RIP Charlie. Quality drummer.

Tokyo 2020: Anger after Paralympian is stripped of gold medal for being late

No excuse for being late when they reserve all the best parking spots close to the stadium.

 

[classic1]

Well that was an entertaining stage.

Overall podium finish in a Grand Tour a good result for Jack Haig

DPF Jean Paul Belmondo. I suggested the wrong French actor for the deadpool.

I’ll be damned. Alain Delon is still alive, he turned 85 today. He's French so probably smokes a pack of Gauloises a day, drinks a few pastis at 10am, knocks over a few bottles of vin rouge during the afternoon, eats shitloads of butter and foie gras with champagne, then knocks over a bottle of cognac after dinner. Plus he’s probably still shagging teenage girls while driving some weird French car getting his **** tugged while ****** off his brain.

He’s a 2021 Deadpool candidate.

DPF Neddy Smith.

Good.

 

[paulambry]

DPF Norm MacDonald. Bad. He was funny. Cutting, incisive and funny. Another one that went way too young... only 61.

 

[classic1]

Dead set never heard of him. Then I looked at his picture. Nope. Still a complete blank.

Team America... **** yeah!

"Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Many pundits believe U.S. President Joe Biden's hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan marked the biggest military defeat in American history.

Biden's decision to end the "forever war" has certainly handed a windfall to the Taliban and their al-Qaida allies. The United States left behind $83 billion worth of weapons, including around 208 aircraft, 2,000 armored vehicles, 600,000 small arms, 32,000 grenades, mortars, rockets and bombs and 30 million rounds of ammunition."

Bet the Australian army is jealous now that the Taliban has more kit than they do…
