With Ray Wilkins dead, Joey wins his first deadpool! Cheers!

Razor Ray "Butch" Wilkins, a young lad with a lot of pah-shun (pronounced: passion)* has died at the age of 61. When not giving his opinion on all things football to Sky Sports, Wilkins had a long career in football coaching, as well as stints as the managers of Chelsea (caretaker but it counts), QPR and... the Jordanian national football team. This succeeded a lengthy career in football, in which he won the FA Cup with Manchester United, but played for teams as opposite as PSG, AC Milan and Rangers. He was also captain of the England football team, famously getting sent off in a group stage game against Morocco when he the ball at the referee. Being full of spirit (though perhaps it turns out, too much), his early demise is no surprise, though the timing on when perhaps was, hence his appearance only on the final few teams that entered this months Cup. Indeed, yours truly first heard about the impending demise when I saw Heef's team and thought "Huh?" Speaking of Heef, he is one of 4 teams who gets point, but there's no cheering, as one of those other teams is DDT! Got to get up very early in the morning to check out the Devonian Prince of Darkness, you know. Also gaining points are The Dead Cow, who benefit from our Sean handing in his teamsheet a bit too early this time round. Also scoring is Joey, who takes an early lead against Sir Creep in a match that could twist and turn all month. Oh, and the YoungWillz game is goalless. I know, you're all STUNNED, right? 1. The Dead Cow vs Sean 3-0 2. Heef vs DDT 3-3 3. Deadsox (reigning champ) vs YWillz 0-0 4. Sir Creep vs Joey Russ 0-3 *PS - That opening sentence will make far more sense if you've ever heard him on commentary.

"Palm reading specialist thinks his condition may dramatically decline in the future" they don't get smarter than that

All dreams ended for Martin Luther King Jr. on this day 50 years ago, aged 39.

Well done Joey.

The Santa Ana winds have arrived in west Texas. (20-30 mph constant) What you see there is sand. Fun to breathe, fun to eat, fun to stare at. SC (edit: PS, msc you can see my internet/phone plight late last week. When I say remote, I mean remote).

Probably scheduled it to give him a good excuse.

Along with John Key, now someone else needs to be added for winning the Easter Deadpool, me.

I am a bit peeved that I put some effort every day except for the final two of the month...due to things beyond my control...when this whole Wilkins thing happened. I mean it was so obvious. Alas. That said, well done Joey, hats off to ya. Time for my team to get less active lol. SC

Right back at you Youngster!

Oh thanks haha I'll replace him with rapper Kodak Black

I'm sorry too Joey. It used to be that when I went to this thread, there was something funny. I miss the old times.

How many customers did you tell to ' go fuck yourselves' then?

Lill-Babs and some other musicians

It really is down to the luck of the draw on how long alcoholic's live my Grandad died at 78 years of age and Drank nothing but Guinness for over 50 years, he was drink driving for most of them and somehow never got caught, he survived heart attacks and strokes due to his drinking and eventually died from Alcohol related Dementia. He probably got a few more years than he should as he lived in a home for the last 15 years of his life which slowed down his drinking a bit but he never stopped until the Dementia took hold at the back end. My Uncle is pushing 70 and he still drinks like a fish and his liver must be shot as he is turning yellow now. On the other hand my Cousin who was also an Alcoholic and Drank to excess was found dead at 25 years of age due to his drinking and i knew another lad who was an Alcoholic and Died at 24, he drank and managed to stop but then suddenly restarted on a drinking session that lasted a week and he died by choking on his vomit as he tried to drink to the levels he previously had and his body couldn't take it. I have just turned 33 and i've also had issues with Alcohol and to be honest don't know how i have survived as i often drank between 50 and 70 pints a week or drink up to 7 litres of Cider in a session, i could go days without a drink but would then drink between 30 and 50 units a session and pass out drunk. I have ended up in Hospital, lost Jobs etc due to my Drinking and almost died on several occasions as often i would drink the equivalent of a litre of Vodka in one or two hours and collapse as my body couldn't take the abuse, i have coughed up blood and all sorts but i never died and i did this for years at a time. I'm ashamed of a lot of the things i did when drinking, thankfully i'm sober at the moment and have been for well over a year apart from a one day binge last September were i ended up in a mess again, thankfully life is better Sober than Drunk but i know i could slip back into old habits very easily as i have done before, i just pray i don't.

After the fire here in 2016, I told Mrs msc about Magere's disappearance, and what'd happen if I just keeled over one day. Her response? "Don't worry, I'd let your fellow loonies know..." See? She cares.

I have a passion for cheese and mushroom omelette. It's grate! I defy you to make one with a 2oz lump of cheese just thrown in, unless you are prepared to turn the eggs and mushrooms to charcoal whilst you wait for the cheese to melt. So yes, I own and use a grater. If I should ever migrate (with or without a me grater?) to deep fried fuckin mars bars I'll let you know (yes, I'm aware this is a ridiculous stereotype, and possibly even apocryphal but no, I don't care).

A little old perhaps but it gave me a laugh. Did you know that the year before the divorce, Sir Paul gave Heather a plane for Xmas. The year before he gave her a Gilette Ladyshave for the other leg.

"You know Ted, I love to be around hard men." "I wouldn't know about that Sir."

Fuck it, so I can get myself in that list: I can see Leah Bracknell making it to 2020

Participated in my school's walkout today. A couple of short speeches followed by 17 minutes of silence for the victims of the Parkland shooting. The moment of silence was almost disrupted by a special kid who ate snow and wouldn't stop talking. Also, this crazy conservative activist kid had a plot to blow air horns during it, but the deans caught him before he could. All in all, it was a very somber moment. Hopefully the thousands of kids who walked out today across the US sent a message to the politicians that they gotta finally do something.

I predict a riot. But being neither a Kaiser, nor a chief, I suspect no-one will take me seriously. On other news I predict Iceland will embugger air travel again this summer - go by boat

However now we have got rid of most of the Last of the Summer Wine cast it is good for old actor spotting. Bill Maynard back for 2018?
