Aim Here Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The world's oldest person (and second oldest person ever), Kane Tanaka, has died, at the age of 119; nobody went for a World's Oldest Person pick this year, so that's a whole 6 (or 56) points wasted. If you fancy a 6-point punt next year, the current oldest is the apparently indestructible Lucile Randon who's 118, and who shrugged off a mass COVID outbreak in her nursing home last year with no symptoms at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Into a mould, probably. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/apr/25/cynthia-plaster-caster-the-artist-whose-rock-star-penis-sculptures-asked-big-questions-about-manhood "She’s like the Michelangelo of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll,” Pamela Des Barres once said of her friend and peer in penis admiration, Cynthia Albritton. Better known as Cynthia Plaster Caster, the 74-year-old artist died last week after battling a long illness. She was one of the last living “supergroupies” of the 60s and 70s US music scene, who built a reputation on their famous bonks and tell-all tales. But Albritton went a step further, casting the privates of the musicians she admired and flipping the notion of woman as muse. “She’s the most notorious groupie of all of them because of her art form,” said Des Barres."

In Glasgow it was a Friday night, for some strange reason we played Aberdeen at home in what was just clearing up the fixtures. Buses were off due to I think a strike and after the game we got in a wee spat with some Dons before walking into the city centre, maybe 12 or so of us heading toward the Apollo. On the way we saw some bint in a hotel window getting done doggy style much to our general amusement and noise and we then got chased by the police. I was stopped and thrown in a police box but got let go when he saw I was a Thistle fan. Some comment like we have better things to do on a Friday night than deal with a bunch of kids. Then got to the Apollo in an attempt to sneak in but the bouncers were having none of it but a few punks not with us tried to get us to storm the doors with them. Fortunately we or I anyway saw sense and went to find a train home. Funny what you remember when someone dies, thoughts and prayers and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
