Mariusz Pudzianowski, the impressive Polish former strongman competitor and current mixed martial artist, probably the greatest strength athlete of all time, also known as "Dominator", "Panek", "Pudzian", "Pyton" and "Super Mariusz", a man who spent 19 months in prison for assaulting a local mafia boss in the early 2000s, and won five World's Strongest Man titles, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2008, is 46 today. James Spader, the brilliant and exceptional American actor, who started his versatile acting career in New York City, widely known for his roles of a sex spy in Steven Soderbergh's "Sex, Lies, and Videotape", and as the criminal mastermind Raymond Reddington on NBC's thriller "The Blacklist", is 63 today.

Be thankful you didn't dream it was backfiring.

The short version is the guy is just a bully. Very arrogant and dismisses anything that runs contrary to “his truth”.

Hans Modrow

I have never understood the hate mob that constantly surrounds Kissinger. I think people just do it cos it's fashionable. Why is he any worse than any U.S. president who has ever authorised an airstrike? So why not go hate on Clinton, Bush and Obama?

Eddie Sharkey outlives another of his trainees.

As Lubomir Strougal has finally fucking died, Siphandone, Murayama, Carter and Rodríguez Lara remain. Strougal was the least picked guy. This could end in a month or two years.

Gayle Hunnicutt, the seductive American film, stage, and television actress, who began her acting career in 1966, probably well known for the 1969 detective film "Marlowe" (with James Garner), the sci-fi classic miniseries "The Martian Chronicles" (with Rock Hudson), and a recurring role on the primetime soap opera "Dallas", is 80 today. Manuel Orantes, the admired and competitive Spanish tennis player who was active in the 1970s and 1980s, one of the game's finest sportsmen, a favourite among tennis fans and rivals thanks to his ever-present smile, a winner of championships in 10 different countries around the world, who was inducted to the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2012, is 74 today.

Indian yoga guru known for developing and popularizing Transcendental Meditation and for being the leader and guru of a worldwide organization that has been characterized in multiple ways, inclyding as a new religious movement and as non-religious Maharishi Mahesh Yogi died on this day 15 years ago, aged 90.

The regular rumours about Andrew include a huge sense of entitlement and very little empathy/understanding of how others see the world, bear in mind that part of the infamous interview that he thought would help him re Epstein etc. was his comment that when he hosted them it was "just a normal shooting weekend"!

You don't get MS at 80 years old.

To be fair, I have probably been as guilty as anyone in the past, so I wont throw too many stones. But yeah, it would make life a lot easier if people remembered that every one of their entries has to be entered onto a spreadsheet, and the names on all the teams have to match. So every number has to be removed, every misspelling corrected and every description beside a name deleted before the masterlist can be created. Fine for the first few entries, but when there are 56 teams to go through, it all ends up dragging things out. Descriptions are very helpful for the (welcome) obscure picks, or the very common names, but it gets really tedious when you have to delete (Footballer) from behind Gianluca Vialli's name for the twentieth time!. I KNOW WHO HE IS @chelsubmitted a great entry. Two lists. One in alphabetical order with no numbers that could be easily copied and pasted into a spreadsheet. A second one with descriptions behind the names so I would know who they meant. Lovely! Of course they then went and spoiled it all by picking a team full of extremely obscure Russian scientists, so it took me half a day on google to find out who the fuck any of them were, but well, no-one's perfect!. And while I am being a moany old cunt, could I ask people not to edit the posts with their entries on before the masterlist is posted. I am absolutely sure that you are all 100% honest people, but it could potentially be used as a way of cheating, and Caesars wife and all that. Ok whingeing over, back to data entry.

I’d like to ask the Archbishop of Cunterbury if it’s also unrealistic to ask them not to be horrendous sex pests? Also, of all the backers Andrew could get in this scandal...the Church perhaps isn’t the best.

P.S. Micaelli sang on great Ensemble Organum CDs such as Chant corse manuscrits fransicains (1994) Goodbye jackie, goodbye hopium. We're D.O.O.M.E.D

Not so sure Brian says it wasn't by mutual consent. There was a discussion about this on Feedback on Friday (just after Last Word)

I'm seeing them at Wembley next week, and I am literally PISSING MY PANTS WITH EXCITEMENT. Royal Blood and Iggy Pop are supporting, this FILLS ME WITH JOY. I have seen the Foo Fighters twice before, and both times I had to sit in a pile of my own urine all the way home. I would totally let Dave Grohl ruin me.

I feel sympathy for Specta only because I understand (At certain limits) his confusion and disease. If anything the man needs to be helped and not punished. I'm under the impression that his sentence will not be that harsh, and he will be let off easy rather then twenty years behind bars. All I know is that he is done playing with guns.
