Yes, Boudicca has beaten The Young Willz Cleansheet Record, which now stands at 75 days. Pretty good for a Cup newcomer. You can all wish her congrates now before the inevitable Mad Hatter winner as we all jinx her. I was waiting for another update, but things seem a bit slow right now.

You really couldn't make this up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-47952295 'A senior judge has revealed he was excused from jury service, because he was due to preside over the case in question. Keith Cutler, the resident judge of Winchester and Salisbury, said he was surprised when he got the call up. But his reason for not doing his duty was initially rejected when he contacted the Jury Central Summoning Bureau directly to explain. ................... He told a jury: "I was selected for jury service here at Salisbury Crown Court for a trial starting 23 April. "I told the Jury Central Summoning Bureau that I thought I would be inappropriate seeing I happened to be the judge and knew all the papers. "They wrote back to me, they picked up on the fact I was the judge but said 'your appeal for refusal has been rejected but you could apply to the resident judge' but I told them "I am the resident judge".

Maybe Elton is just sitting down and Furnish has his hand in a fist - sure it wouldn't be the first time...………………

Cross-posting Schindler's death report.

I too thought she'd be the last of the MTM crew easily. But admittedly didn't know she was a devout Christian Scientist.

Probably posted this: Numerous times in west Texas in 'winter/spring' I would arise and attend the 5:30am safety meeting at the rig.....in t-shirt. Say 40-45F (7-8C). Damn Mexicans and half the rest in three layers hooded and gloves. I'd ask the cuntos if they were cold or summat. SMH

Anyone have Quasimodo on their list?

Pop goes the Weezel! I'll get me coat...

...wait a second...

I don't know, but it has just struck me that if Elton was still married to a woman it would be "Sir Elton and Lady John", but as a bloke David is still just Mr Furnish. And husbands of Dames get the same treatment - no honorific title for them. They should all start a #metoo protest.

According to this Ambrose Schindler, Winkie Guard and Tin Man Stunt Double In The Wizard Of Oz, died in December 2018 at 101: https://old.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/bdtkua/ambrose_amby_schindler_rose_bowl_mvp_and_one_of/

He still is, attended a luncheon (as did Joe Terry!) a few weeks back:

One of the few things I had on this forum.... Only fair that, having beaten msc's record in the Hare's Pool, he is the one to announce the loss by me of this one! Well done Bou!

T-shirt and light fleece weather (circa 40C to -40C) I think you'll find, Bou.

When I was in Uganda, one of my ugandan colleagues said "jesus christ it's cold" when the temperature hit 15 degrees celsius. And I'm told that in siberia, 0 degrees celsius is t-short weather. A lot of what constitutes "hot" or "cold" depends on what you're used to.

Wait a minute @RadGuy, she's your pick? Look before you rant!

One to many edit.... I'll stick with it.

I could have sworn I mentioned her too. Thanks for letting me know!

Cloris Leachman also still alive. Only Ted Knight, Mary Tyler Moore and now Georgia Engel have passed.

'God', I presume, was your Grindr date who waited for you to drink yourself to sleep before slipping you one.

Another founding member Joe Terry dead according to Twitter...

Georgia Engel, who played Georgette Franklin...later Georgette Baxter, on the Mary Tyler Moore show, has died. She was 70. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/15/obituaries/georgia-engel-dead.html
