Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, & their pet dog found dead at their home. No cause of death yet but foul play not suspected. Gas leak, maybe? Odd otherwise for them both & the dog to die but no foul play.

Because @Bubble181 is too lazy :p

The first non-native manager of the England men's national team, in his day he was one of the finest managers in world football. I'm sure @bhamv3 has fond memories of that match against Germany in Munich. I'm not going to end with the usual "Fuck Cancer" quote, but instead one from his recent...

With Scotland playing Germany in the opening match of the Euros I thought you may all appreciate some phrases to help you fit in with Scotland supporters (you are all - @chris excepted - supporting Scotland, right?) Yes Sir, I can Boogie - An unofficial anthem amongst the Scottish support for...

Happy birthday @Bubble181! I hope you got more than just a stick.

Anyone else got themselves an advent calendar this year? If so, post here & tell us all about them - what's behind each door? Pictures? Chocolate? Cheese? Something else? Do you make your own calendars for friends/family? Definitely tell us about them then. I admit I hadn't bothered with...

Because the Battle of Earth officially took place on 17th October 2023, so ahem... Tony Stark died today after using the Infinity Stones to reverse the Snap. He is survived by his wife Pepper, biological daughter Morgan, artificial "children" Friday & Karen and his kinda sort of kid Peter. He...

I have set up a Halforums pool for predictions on this at https://www.tournamentfootball.co.uk/en/euro2020/pool/halforums & will be providing a £25 Steam digital gift card for the winner. 2 things to note: 1) You need to have all your predictions in before the first game kicks off at 21:00...

Died peacefully in his sleep at 99. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11437314

In light of the Marjorie Taylor Greene video in the political forum I was wondering in the (extremely unlikely) event of any HF'er ever getting elected to public office what would you use to swear in on? Just for fun so even if your country doesn't do that, post here anyway. My pick - A Brief...

This is one that only other British forumites will get, but for almost 50 years British children have made up their Christmas list by circling the things they wanted in the Argos catalogue and now it has published its last edition. Only the Bible was believed to be in more UK homes than the big...

Died at 88 of a Parkinson's related illlness.

Since I was discussing this with someone IRL & they were clearly wrong I'm putting this here & hoping for a more sensible result. (It's clearly the A)

My headphones on my PC have broken & I'm in the market for new ones. Any recommendations HalForums? I prefer over ear ones to in ear headphones. Comfort is main priority with sound quality a close second. I rarely use Discord or voice chat so mic quality isn't a major concern. Also, I wear...

Do we not have a thread for this? Ah, well... Williams team - at least things can't get any worse Baku - hold my beer.

Okay, let's make a new thread for this. And we start with the news that the day before the World Cup starts, 2 days before their first match Spain have sacked their manager. Because that's how you prepare for the biggest sporting event in the world. :facepalm:

For those that don't recognise the name he was the Russian officer in charge of the nuclear early warning system when it "detected" an American launch on Russia. If it wasn't for him refusing to pass that information on because he realised it was a system malfunction there would have almost...

Not a good couple of months for horror fans. First Romero, now Hooper. :(

First thing I do when I log on is mouse over the Alerts tab. Sometimes when i do this I get a pop up box saying "You must be logged in to do that" & prompting me for my u/name & p/word. I know I've logged in correctly because it's telling me how many alerts I have before I do that. Doesn't...
