Popular Post Seat68 Posted July 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2023 I was in Santa Monica in 2005 and was having a meal in this very fancy restaurant, the bistro of Santa Monica. I had planned the night meticulously, an evening with my wife, great food, great wine, candle lit and I had been in touch with the pianist the night before, he played a song that we both loved by Tony Bennett. That night sticks in both mine and my wifes heads as one of the best we ever had. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post theunderstudy Posted July 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2023 Well there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that Tony Bennett is gone, very sad. The good news is.... I'm on the board for this year in the Dead Pool so.. You're still thinking about the bad news aren't you? 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva Marie Saint Phil Collins Prince Harry (Swapped out from Prince Andrew last year) After reading the rules I have swapped out Tony Bennett and am replacing him with: Yungblud. No points sharing for me and I'm aiming for a 200 pointer. Sounds like I may have thrown away half a point here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I thought he'd died years ago. I just saw his real name was Anthony Benedetto. That's a much better name, much more exotic. Tony Bennett sounds like a brick layer from Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest you go back to the first post and actually read the rules this time.

Jonesy7211 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 He was a real ladies man. I heard he was shagging a footballers wife. But he dumped her for a wiccan high priestess. He went from wags to witches... (Shamelessly copied from FB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
