    The statement "being A French politician they he she it was skilled in the art of surrender." perpetuates a negative stereotype of the French, which is racist.

    Presumably it wouldn't? The people who'd pay for a super league would want Barcelona v Man U every year, they wouldn't give a toss about Wolves or Newcastle or whoever.

    I still think he can make it 5+ more months to see 2021, but things can deteriorate rather quickly. I hope he can return to host Jeopardy for one more run of tapings before he falls too ill.

    https://people.com/health/alex-trebek-clarifies-would-not-stop-all-treatment-if-current-cancer-regimen-fails/ Clarifies a statement he made regarding his treatment. When he said he would stop treatment, he meant his "experimental" treatment, not treatment all together - he would go back to chemotherapy if it doesn't work.

    and with the full capacity of the web at your disposal, you decided to advertise your ignorance and racism rather than do some minimal research. Fuck off.

    My own family history is not promising in old age. Most likely, I might expect to either pop my clogs in my 60s or get Alzheimers in my 70s, looking at my parents and grandfathers, although my grandmothers and most of my uncles and aunts have done a bit better than this. And, of course, with life expectancy generally trending upwards slowly over time, we might hope for better outcomes than our parents in any event, with a bit of luck and good self-care.

    Cheers! I never think to check IMDb because it normally just has blanks for many musicians. According to Ancestry, both Szabo and Snyder hailed from (or at least lived in) San Diego. Szabo's DOB from IMDb checks out. Snyder's doesn't. I've found records in San Diego of him and Jackie and they give his birth as c. 1942. Updated.

    I stand corrected. Just found this: Name MS Lorna Campbell Birth 1939-1941 Residence 2003-2007 Birmingham West Midlands England Safe to assume the '39 Aberdeen birth is her I reckon. Updated.

    Back to The Cascades. The band seemed to be involved in some outrageous beach party movie Catalina Caper. From that, we get David Szabo's full birth date and a birth date of 1937 for Eddie (sometimes Eddy) Snyder. Unfortunately David Stevens entry gives us nothing, perhaps both Snyder and Stevens weren't born in San Diego. I also found reference to Eddie Snyder recording country music under the name Eddie Preston here, looks like the late 1980s: https://geetoni.wordpress.com/tag/eddie-snyder/ and this is backed up by the blurb on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXClMjTHmJ4 The most recent comment on that video is from a week ago, seems to have lived in Seattle at some point, married to Jackie who may have died. Seems a genuine comment.

    West Brom promoted in 2nd taking up the 'too shit for the premier league, too good for the Championship' slot. Forest fuck up a nailed on play-off place..... getting 4-1 beat by Stoke.... to go out of the play-offs on goal difference to 4-1 winners against Reading Swansea who nabbed that play-off spot. Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff, Swansea go to the play-offs.

    Did anyone catch what he said to the second soldier? Wonder if it was one of his characteristic witticisms He's looking good though, and walking pretty well without a stick.
