Is it me or does the Grim Reaper start doing loads of overtime around xmas and the new year?

I'm sure I've read that a lot of people who are nearing the end due to old age hang on for Christmas and then give up.

Worst case of this was a local bloke who went to the pub for the old folks Xmas lunch, had a pint, ate his lunch and died at the pub. There are worse ways to go - he could have been at home on his own, so I guess he was happy at the end!

Barbara Walters: Trailblazing US news anchor dies aged 93

Exposed Trump in 1990 for what he really is during this interview.

That’s a sad loss - but what an amazing career.

Thanks for posting the YT link - what a brilliant interview.

Pope Benedict

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64107731

I went to the Conclave for Pope Francis - however decisive Pope Benedict was he’ll be missed by a large swath of the Catholic faith. RIP.

For ‘decisive’ read ‘scumbag’. Not unique to the Catholic Church, but ignoring terrible deeds because of a particular role in a religion/government/ other organisation I find impossible to countenance.

My favourite part -

Trump “Now everyone’s telling me what a great deal it was”

Was Petrus' comment not a typo and should have been "devisive" perhaps?

The jury is ‘divided’ on that

I sense the PH spelling police are unzipping their trousers as we speak.

Also told Corey Feldman that his exposure of paedophiles in Hollywood was "damaging an entire industry"

Many describe her as a terrible human being

It takes a terrible person to be able to tell another terrible person they are terrible without feeling terrible.

When a pope dies, has he been fired or promoted?

You could argue that if he's not called out paedophilia he's going to be fried

I assumed Petrus suffered from an autocorrect issue and corrected it to 'divisive' in my post, but the curse struck again. He was still a scumbag though. (not Petrus obvs)

He was the first pope in 600 years to stand down. So as such we won’t have a conclave following his passing. That will come after Pope Francis.
