No, it's clearly Calvinist.

What are Disgraced names supposed to be in the nation graveyard and what are they supposed to be anyway? Just as an indicator that someone with that name had terrible behaviour? Or does it actually prohibit re-use of the name?

My little DOS^* has turned up again as Senior admins and mods. Won’t be around long.

^*A bit like My Little Pony but far, far uglier.

Thank you!

Oh! I nearly forgot! Today is my founding day! I was founded on this day 1 year ago, at 1:00 P.M my time. I think it's safe to say that I am only 99.9% noob now, instead of 100%.

Bonjour.

Yvonne Elliman - Everything’s Alright (Jesus Christ Superstar)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jkje4FiH9Qc

[Mary Magdalene:]
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight

[Apostle's women:]
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes

[Mary:]
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead and
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight

[Apostle's women:]
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes

[Judas:]
Woman, your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted? we could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
Matter more than your feet and hair

[Mary:]
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight

[Apostle's women:]
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes

[Jesus:]
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got!
Think! while you still have me
Move! while you still see me
You'll be lost, you'll be so sorry when I'm gone

[Mary:]
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead and then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight

[All:]
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes

Enya - Orinoco Flow

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LTrk4X9ACtw

Let me sail, let me sail
Let the Orinoco flow
Let me reach, let me beach
On the shores of Tripoli
Let me sail, let me sail
Let me crash upon your shore
Let me reach, let me beach
Far beyond the Yellow Sea
De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De

Sail away, sail away, sail away [x4]

From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon
From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea

De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De
Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh
Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh
Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh

Sail away, sail away, sail away [x4]

From the North to the South
Ebudae into Khartoum
From the deep sea of Clouds
To the island of the moon
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never been
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never seen

We can sail, we can sail
With the Orinoco flow
We can sail, we can sail...(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)
We can steer, we can near
With Rob Dickins at the wheel
We can sigh, say goodbye
Ross and his dependency
We can sail, we can sail...(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)

Dire Straits - It Never Rains

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tF6xf7YrbCk

I hear the Seven Deadly Sins
And the Terrible Twins came to call on you
The bigger they are babe
The harder they fall on you
And you you're always the same you persevere
On the same old pleasure ground
Oh and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down

You had no more volunteers
So you got profiteers for to help you out
With friends like that babe
Good friends you had to do without
And now they've taken the chains and the gears
From off your merry-go-round
Oh and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down

And your new Romeo
Was just a gigolo when he let you down
See the faster they are babe
The faster they get out of town
Leaving make up stains and the tears
Of a clown
Yes and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down

Oh you were just a roller coaster memory
I don't know why I was even passing through
I saw you making a date with Destiny
When he came around here asking after you
In the shadow of the Wheel of Fortune
You're busy trying to clear your name
You say 'I may be guilty yeah that may be true
But I'd be lying if I said I was to blame
See we could have been major contenders
We never got no money no breaks'
You've got a list of all the major offenders
You got a list of all their major mistakes
And he's just standing on the shadows
Yes and you smile that come-on smile
Oh I can still hear you say as clear as the day
'I'd like to make it worth your while'

Ah but it's a sad reminder
When your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent
And all you've got to give him
Is the use of your side-show tent
Yes and that's all that remains of the years
Spent doing to rounds
And it never rains around here
Well it just comes pouring down

Now you know what they say about beggars
You can't complain about the rules
You know what they say about beggars
You know who's the first to blame his tools
You never gave a damn about who you pick up
And leave lying bleeding on the ground
You screw people over on the way up
Because you thought that you were never coming down
And he takes you out in Vaudeville Valley
With his hand up smothering your screams
And he screws you down in Tin Pan Alley
In the city of a billion dreams

My obsession of the fortnight is Fish in a Birdcage.

Fish in a Birdcage – Rule #9: Child of the Stars
https://youtu.be/TcG2BSXeqp8

[Verse 1]
You were a wanderer
Back when you were young
I remember your eyes were clear
Brighter than the sun

With hands so soft
Delicate and sweet
You learned to fall
And balance on your own two feet

[Chorus]
I could only lead you so far
I believe in who you are

[Verse 2]
Take the world by storm
Muster all your strength
Embrace the forces that surround you
Bend gravity and space

You are a child of the stars
Shout what has been unsung
Open all the doors around you
Use the powеr in your lungs

[Chorus]
I could only lead you so far
I believе in who you are
