Former Dundee United player and Old Rangers manager Walter Smith dead acording to the twitter feed of The New Rangers

Roh Tae-Woo, former president of South Korea, dead at 88: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-koreas-former-president-roh-tae-woo-dies-88-yonhap-2021-10-26/ In ill health for years, also under corruption charges for years. DDP pick.

Bugger. I've just found out I'm going to lose my internet connection from my computer because its giving MicroSoft problems because I've been infected by a trojan. At least that's what the nice Indian-sounding gentleman told me before I hung up on him.

Looking quite well particularly for someone in their mid 90s

Don't worry, he didn't actually break the lobbying rules, it's just that the goalposts were moved, by the badgers.

Not a music gig but I saw a production of East Is East at the National Theatre yesterday and I absolutely loved it. First live show of any kind in a couple of years. Good to be back.

Spade actually changed it in 2018 but, err, it seems to have reverted back!

Well there goes a potential DL pick for 2022 who was guaranteed to be a hit. November and December will no doubt rob us of quite a few others, as they always do.

You can't beat Ulitzer Thatcher Willz Wee Jum to the news here, even with a breaking news notification! Felt he wasn't long for this world after the rumours/stuff earlier this year.

Okay, then - who's gonna ring her and sort this?

Don't need me to tell you, I'm sure, QOs everywhere: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10131035/Ex-South-Korean-President-Roh-Tae-woo-dies-88.html

Haven’t really done too much research tbh, but I suppose I can bring two fascinating names that have never been mentioned before that I’ve also been listening to lately. Admittedly both are a QO risk but they definitely can be useful for smaller pools. First is Alain Goraguer, who worked with Serge Gainsbourg previously. He also composed film soundtracks such as Fantastic Planet (La planete sauvage) since the 1970s. Second is Gil Trythall, who is a classical pianist. However he is more known for his ventures into electronic music, particularly the album that uses country songs entirely with a moog synthesizer.

The royal gift that keeps on giving, or summat

James Michael Tyler is a hit for most of us here.

And... nah, he recovered. Not even this satisfaction for anti-vaxxers.

QO for James Michael Tyler: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-59032751

Somehow only a little more than two months left of the year. Which means the first sign of the front page transfer is now up...

American television screenwriter, producer and creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, died on this day 30 years ago, aged 70.

Alright, let's get this out of the way.... Greg Gilbert is the massive hit of this update. He was picked very often, sometimes as a joker. Second-biggest hit: Bernard Tapie. And thanks for your notes, Betty Lynn and Ruthie Tompson are also hits here. Plus, there is Ally McLaws, a keen hit as a replacement for some. And finally, a skilled solo hit for Salmon Mousse for Egyptian defense minister Tantawi. Still, because of Ally McLaws, Cpt. Chorizo's lead grows further, and is now at 180 points. Morris Perry, so far, is a non-obit, sadly. Rank Team Score 1 Cpt.

Talked about her cancer and her career in an interview with Good Morning America yesterday. Was still in good spirits and said she will keep fighting until the end.

Worked a gig for a band called Low Rats, special guest for their show was Dan Murphy (founding member and former guitarist for Soul Asylum). Just thought I would add that Dan Murphy is really nice to chat with

He’s fled to Balmoral, to avoid being served with legal papers. That’s: Balmoral Estates Ballater Aberdeenshire AB35 5TB Or somewhere around suffice.wand.recipient on What3Words.
