    He was a right cvnt as the Brits would say:

    That is until just a few weeks ago when he was finally joined by three real life members of his species. However, Nigel failed to befriend them, and then he died.

    And before i get slagged for it, the C word was a London (and other cities) lane:

    Follow this road and you'll be at the home grounds of Shepshed Dynamo, in the 9th tier of English football...

    I think they thought he looked like the late Nigel Bruce:

    Sure that's not Nigel Marx, the British cousin of Groucho?

    It's UEFA, so there are people who believe it must be better than MLS, even if it was the 18th tier.

    Such a shame. I heard Nigel was happy in his work.

    You are right--that one is Rathbone. However here is the young Nigel Bruce when he was still Watson:

    So Nigel will be joining George. May they have companionship, that odd couple.

    Doesn't a certain loudmouth from Queens own a big posh hotel on this street? If not, he should!

    Bullshit.
    If a human pisses in you living room its practically national news. A dog over a certain age, you better expect it.
    Not to mention the shit eating.

    Billy Graham, at age 99

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/21/us/billy-graham-obit/index.html

    Coming of age in the televangelist era of Swaggert, Bakker, Falwell and Robertson, I was always drawn to Billy Graham, a man who never bought a plane or started a church and spoke more of our relationship to God than our relationship to whatever "other" his ilk were demonizing at the time. Once upon a time, I admired his adherence to his own Billy Graham rule, that of never being alone with another woman to prevent any hint of impropriety. And when his fellow travelers were Jimmy Swaggert and Jim Bakker, it made a lot of sense. But you know what? The Graham rule is inherently demeaning. What, I can't be alone with another woman just because some guys (our president, cough, cough) can't keep their dicks in their pants?

    But, it worked for Graham, and there was never a whiff of malfeasance about him or his ministry, whether it was to the great unwashed or to presidents and kings. He was certainly drawn to power, but I always thought that having a bi-partisan, as it were, counselor wouldn't be a bad thing for most of our presidents.

    Now, his son, Franklin, is another piece of work entirely, and I suspect Rev Graham is still answering for him to St Peter right now...

    RIP
