Actually, the story that Cass Elliot choked on a sandwich was a fabrication. She died from a heart attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cass_Elliot

You have to remember that Hunter Biden has endured more than his fair share of trauma, injury, maternal loss, and constantly being pursued for news stories. He has suffered with addiction all his life and I would think the car crash in which his mother was killed, and Hunter suffered a fractured skull with traumatic brain injury, has had a lot to do with his problems all through his life.

Name the ancient rock star of the 1960's and 1970's. He's still playing at 83.

Trainspotter.

Spaghetti Western.

Two mates return to one blokes apartment after a long night of drinking and partying. The guest notices a giant gong on his hosts living room wall, and inquires about it. "Oh, that's my talking clock", answers his host. "A talking clock??, his mate replies. "Doesn't look anything like a clock to me, let alone a talking one?" "You don't believe me? Look, I'll show you!", his mate replies. He walks over to the gong, picks up a big lump of wood, swings it, and hits the gong with all his might. "BOOOOOONNNNNNG!!!!!" rings throughout the building. Immediately, from the apartment next door, a voice screams out, "For f***'s sake!!! - it's 2:45 in the morning!!"

The eagle has flown.

Taking the wind out of his sails.

Throw your weight around.

It's Michelle Philips from The Mamas and Papas rock group. Not looking too bad for someone who's 80 this year, and who has probably ingested a truck load of drugs. Cass Elliot didn't get past 32.

Alan Green, the founder of the Quiksilver surfing clothing and equipment brand, has passed away at age 77 after a brief battle with cancer. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-16/surf-brand-quiksilver-alan-green-dies/104824096

Party animals?

I think it's Jerry keystrokes that are the stroke problem.

I'm quite surprised at how cancer is claiming so many of the recent deceased, well-known people. I always wonder if it's their lifestyle, diet or job that gives them cancer, or if they simply have genes that are receptive to acquiring cancer.

You could give yourself endless work, leading on FB scammers. The site is full of them.

I reckon she's probably had a lot of plastic surgery done to her facial areas, it's pretty common with celebrities. She was certainly a very attractive lass when she was in her prime.

Here's what's going to help Ukraine, and Trump can do F-all about it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2025/01/10/coalition-sends-30000-kamikaze-drones-to-ukraine/

Trump is the BS-artist to beat all BS-artists. Anyone with more than one working brain cell would know he has no ability to stop the Ukraine War in one day. He's full of it, someone must have swapped his rear orifice for his mouth. He's too thick to even grasp the fact that plenty of European nations are happy to keep providing weaponry to the Ukraine, while they still stand a chance of hammering the Russians to a standstill.

I think the photo of Barbara Eden has been "modified". She doesn't look that bad, and she is 94 this year.

Nope, a donkey in Esperance lost $3M to Nigerian scammers and the State Govt had to step in to stop him from sending other peoples money to the scammers as well. To top it all, he's a devout Christian and understood the scammers were good Christians, too. Talk about dumb!! 🙄 It sounds like Octave has come across a bunch of JW's, who continually fail to understand what "No", or "Not interested", means! https://thewest.com.au/news/australia/man-who-lost-3m-says-he-didnt-see-the-scam-ng-ya-103305

According to the Chaser, Boeing has made a New Years resolution to stop using Clag paste in the construction of their aircraft. 😄 https://chaser.com.au/business/boeing-announces-new-years-resolution-to-stop-using-clag-paste-in-airplane-construction/

Just a correction from Red's post above - Healthscope is not Canadian, it is owned by a North American private equity group, Brookfield. The row is all about BUPA and AHSA refusing to pay an extra hospital fee that Healthscope is demanding. All the other health insurers have already agreed to pay the fee. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-22/healthscope-ahsa-bupa-private-insurance-contracts/104633886

The simple fact remains that Musk is concentrating on the Rotherham grooming gangs to simply further his own right-wing, anti-immigration agenda. He doesn't give a rats rectum about the girl victims, and he would care even less that many of the girls weren't white. The Rotherham grooming gangs were in operation between 1997 and 2013, how come Musk didn't start on exposing them, back then? There were plenty of news articles written about the problem in the early 2000's. Musk is a particularly nasty toxic piece of work, and I'm quite amazed that Steve Bannon, one of the biggest right-wing leaders around, it's stating outright, that Musk is toxic, and Bannon is going to ensure Musk has little input into Trump decision-making. What I find even more amazing is that Bannon has pointed out that Musk has no other interest besides insuring he becomes a trillionaire, and that all his companies receive favoured treatment and make vastly bigger and better profits. In Bannons exact words, "He is truly evil"! https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/12/the-right-is-trying-to-rewrite-history-with-its-toxic-rhetoric-on-britains-gangs https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/12/steve-bannon-calls-elon-musk-racist

The biggest red flags were the indications by the terrorists to the flight instructors, that they only wanted to learn how to take off, not to land the Boeings!! How dumb would you have to be to not pick up on that, straight up!! There were hundreds of red flags on the terrorists that were not picked up, and the Americans only have themselves to blame. https://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/report/911Report_Ch7.htm
