Congratulations to Cuntstable Cuntbubble for correctly predicting the final outro of Shane MacGowan. He was 65.

It says here that Shane MacGowan, the boozy, rabble-rousing singer (singer? – NA) and chief songwriter of The Pogues, infused traditional Irish music with the energy and spirit of punk. MacGowan’s songwriting and persona made him an iconic figure in contemporary Irish culture, and some of his compositions have become classics — most notably the bittersweet Christmas ballad “Fairytale of New York”.

Here’s a tribute to Shane from the incomparable Chas Crane.

Congratulations to Freddie the Frog for correctly predicting the exit stage left of Henry Kissinger, whose passing was reported in the early hours UK time. He was 100.

During eight years as a national security adviser and secretary of state, Dr Kissinger was involved in major foreign policy events including the first example of “shuttle diplomacy” seeking peace in the Middle East (that worked out well – NA), secret negotiations with China to defrost relations between the burgeoning superpowers (that worked out well – NA) and the instigation of the Paris peace talks seeking an end to the Vietnam conflict. (which the Yanks lost – NA)
