Not the first time Talk Talk have been painfully slow and innacurate when it comes to internet updates.

It is far from my place to cast any doubt on such a worthwhile bastion of journalism. Morgan Woodward is dead. A hit for eight players in the Dallas category (most popular pick in the category) @FixedBusiness gets his first hit. Everyone is now off the mark. @time & @Grim Up North are up to three hits in three categories @Toast @Sir Creep & @msc get third hit, second in Dallas @gcreptile second hit in Dallas @Death Impends Fifth hit, third in Dallas first player to have three hit in the same category This game is my favourite of the ones I run. Noone else moves into a winning position but will these hits be important if the game drags on.

Ok, he was kind of gone for 25 years already, but still, it would make me very, very sad. He is/was the genius who turned Talk Talk into the first post Rock band. No Radiohead without Mark Hollis. Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock are two of the most beautiful albums ever recorded.

2005 2019 You don't need the doc to say the "just turned 62" May looks tired. Strong candidate for Dead Within a Decade imo.

Everyone's but mine... Must text my scouting network and ask them what they were thinking!

Former Gloucester MP (and a 20/20 pick for me) Sally Oppenheim-Barnes has retired from the Lords.

Kinda makes the point I made in starting this thread (so long ago that it'll soon be old enough for R Kelly to continue shagging it!) These people live clean lives and peg out late. Would anyone risk a DDP theme team on this topic?

Also

Looks like he runs half marathons now... https://solihullobserver.co.uk/news/runner-puts-best-foot-forward-in-honour-of-breast-cancer-haven/

And everyone's March cup team gets one player shorter.

I think Sussex police are running some sort of protection racket.

Still nothing. Ok, Hollis is reclusive, but he is also an iconic face of the 80s (Talk Talk were one of my favourite bands back then). Hard to understand if it is real or not now, but surely I wouldn't be shocked if it takes weeks to be confirmed.

I've learned something there: apparently, being an African dictator born in 1925 is a bit like "the 27 club".

So, if this is true about Mark Hollis, that's a bit of a blow:

It's happening.

Obituary. The Munsters original cast is very reduced: 1)Pat Priest (1936): the second Marilyn Munster, diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2001, now in remission. 2)Butch Patrick (1953): Eddie Munster, convicted robber, drug user, frequently tried to commit suicide. Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011, but claimed he would live another 20 years.

With the "meaningful vote" on a "deal" now postponed yet again, forget resignations, split parties, abstentions. What we need is David Tennant in a dressing gown.

So Ali Hassan Mwinyi is now the only African strongman born in 1925 left. There are still 4 iconic people from 1924 (Moi, Mugabe, Kaunda, Jawara) and only one from 1926 (disgusting Senegal overlord Abdoulaye Wade). Then nothing till 1929 (Sam Nujoma and Marcelino Dos Santos). If I have to predict their death orders I'd say: 1)Jawara 2)Mugabe 3)Mwinyi 4)Kaunda 5)Dos Santos 6)Moi 7)Nujoma 8)Wade

Sectarianism under the spotlight again NotW, a few unsavoury incidents in the last couple weeks. I did lol at this tho. Amusing the kids asked this, considering the wean on the left is wearing scarves with "stick your rosaries up your arse" and "Build my gallows" on them. Footballers are thick as shit. All of them

^^ cheers Paul. Anyhoo.

It takes a huge pair of cajones to publicly disparage the Fort Worth Star like that.

Yes, he is 95, but he looks incredibly thin now. I think he has a slow progressing form of cancer, maybe the prostate cancer which was rumoured years ago.

Ooh, msc's non-obit theme team might have found its Andy Anderson of 2020.
