Closing his store in Croydon broke his heart.

I'd be getting the telescopic lenses out if I you were. I'm sure the press would love 'Andrew hosts mass gathering, in latest display of his royal arrogance' headline.

Whether people think someone is a good pick and whether people want folk to survive are two completely different things. Don’t equate the two together.

America lost its head in the 2016 election, now it has lost its conscience. And John Lewis was picked by … practically everyone, those who didn't, you know who you are. We shall still be playing Where Do You Go To My Lovely over the loudspeakers in honour of Zizi Jeanmaire, as we are not overtly political, but those who want a burst of We Shall Overcome may adjourn to our newly installed Escape Rooms to listen to it on a loop until you escape! Anyway, enough of the preamble, Joey Russ remains on top with 4 hits, and markb4 joins those of us on the leaderboard with his first hit. The following bonuses were awarded: markb4 hits an A - 5 Additional Points. theoldlady hits a Red Joker and receives the 50 Point Joker bonus. Coincidentally, she is now on the same points as Bibliogryphon, and has played the same cards as him, although with completely different hits. Spooky! Clorox Bleachman makes a pair of Js - 10 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

GOOD TROUBLE, SAD DEATH 13/50 17th July 2020 John Lewis, legendary civil rights icon and politician who isn't a UK department store has died at 80 to bring another successful hit to the crowdsource list. John Lewis first heard of Martin Luther King Jr at 15, eventually leading to him meeting King at 18 and Rosa Parks at 17. Those early encounters lead him to be a major leader in the civil rights movement. He was one of the original Freedom Riders in 1961, which rode interstate buses into the segregated south. In 1963, he won a chairmanship to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. As chairman, he was part of one of the Big Six who help lead the March on Washington later that year, and during the March he gave a very impassioned speech in front of a huge crowd of hundreds of thousands. Perhaps his most famous feat was when he played a big role on the Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965. In it, he was brutally beaten and tear gassed by the police, which eventually lead to his skull being fractured and some permanent scars he bared for the rest of his life. Eventually, he worked his way up the political system, working in the Jimmy Carter administration after a loss for a seat in Georgia's 5th congressional district. In 1986, he won that very same seat after a very contentious primary. Although his time in congress was not a perfect record by any means, he did provide many courageous votes during congress such as voting against Bill Clinton's terrible welfare reform and voting against the Iraq War. He was a political giant, and certainly among the best there was in Congress. Lewis was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the final days of 2019, and there was a question of whether he'd make the list given that Bob Hawke missed out by over 90 points last year. However, he did end up on the list pretty comfortably, going all the way to the 39th spot in under 48 hours. He is the 13th hit in an ever moving big year of deaths...

If you want to type a specific phrase on the forum type it like this in the search bar, in quotation marks: Weeds out all the individual "star" or "trek" instances.

Posted this in the Yanks Science Fiction thread, not realising there was a Star Trek thread, despite searching. @time steered me right, so I'll re-post here: Following on from the death of John Winston announced last month (seemingly only posted elsewhere on here), I thought I'd take a look at how Star Trek's doing. Obviously quite a few of the notables have passed away (Roddenberry, Majel Barrett, Nimoy, Kelley, Doohan, Whitney, Lenard), but a few are still with us, plus a whole host of bit-part players and guest performers. I've done research into all three seasons of The Original Series and may do more of the series and films (although I had a look at The Motion Picture and after the principals there's shedloads of extras and single scene actors so it may be tricky to work out who's worth doing). Here's an (I hope) exhaustive list of everyone still with us from Season 1 of The Original Series, organised by age with those I have little to no idea of at the bottom. I'll add Seasons 2 and 3 when I get a chance. I've included some notes, where relevant and apologies for any inconsistencies, it was quite hard work! William Shatner (Captain James T.

Table. Almost embarrassed to say I'm the only scorer today too. Quim Reaper 40 Redrumours 40 Exu 40 Paddyfool 40 Grim up north 40 Old Crem 35 MPFC 35 Paul bearer 35 Buffalo Phil 30 The Unknown man 10 Kenny 10 As always, let me know if I've made a mistake.

One is using a walking frame to stand up, the other is holding a sword up in the air and still standing up, I think that answers the question on who's more frail. Point of interest: wonder when the last time was she knighted someone older than herself? Dame Angela Lansbury maybe? Actually, didn't Dame Olivia only get hers relatively recently?

She is on the list because the committee thought she was a good pick but now people want her to hang on until next year, just not cricket.

Bollocks. I’m the first to shout about cuntish men but I do not believe her for a second.

I don't care about the political things. She is fucking overdue!

And endured 2 years of marriage with her. Poor bastard.

Congrats Biblio!!! 1920: Neal Edward Smith/Paula Stafford 1921: Francisco Morales Bermúdez/Hazel McCallion 1922: Chen-Ning Yang/Rachel Robinson 1923: Albert Vanhoye/Roser Bru 1924: Antony Hewish/Priscilla Pointer 1925: Giorgio Napolitano/Inez van Dullemen 1926: Jorge Medina/Marilyn Erskine 1927: Eduardo Martínez Somalo/Joan Jara 1928: Humberto Maturana/Delfina Guzmán 1929: Édouard Balladur/Violeta Chamorro

Congrats on the telegraph obit writing position you must have acquired recently!

Dancer extraordinaire Zizi Jeanmaire has pas-sed de once and but there's only spades and a Joker, no diamonds, on the table. DeathByArsenic enters the leaderboard with a first hit. Bibliogryphon leaps into a podium place, having persisted with Zizi for some years and it has paid off, hitting his Red Joker for an additional 50 Points. Leaderboard updated.

Best way to find out is a roll call. I'll start. Im here and alive.

I agree! And at her age it is rather an indicator that she still has a healthy appetite and enjoys life. A lot of very frail old people rather seem to lose weight. About the wheelchair, one doesn't really know if she is completely wheelchair-bound. I know a number of old people who can still walk a small stretch but rely on a wheelchair etc. if they have a certain way to make, which was obviously the case with the Olivia's visit to the church. She was still standing in the picture from 2018, but two years are a long time for a 104-year-old in terms of health - not in terms of years.

The horse is a 14-year-old fell pony called Fern. Not the first time a Royal has ridden a 14-year-old.
