Piper Laurie a hit for Thatcher https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/us-celebrity-news/breaking-piper-laurie-dies-after-31191703

What do you mean? As far as I can see, he deducted the points properly. He decided to change his vote to Bryan Adams when he saw an easy kill.

Curious how Asquith is wearing a Brian Jones T-Shirt since he looks an awful lot like Brian Jones!

Thought she was excellent as the complex bitch Catherine Martell in Twin Peaks.

Dead.

And you didn't give the points to 4 Non Blondes? You "utter moron smfh it's easily one of the best 3 songs on the list".

Good luck to everyone.

RIP Rosa de Vita (8 February 1911-10 October 2023) Fourth oldest person in Italy

Dorothy Hoffner, the Chicago woman who last week made headlines as she became the world's oldest skydiver (at age 104), died Sunday. Hoffner, who began working as an operator at Illinois Bell in 1938, passed away Oct. 8. On October 1, Hoffner took the jump that earned her the world record for oldest person to skydive.

It's a good formula. While you're stuck with any dud picks, there is always the possibility of refreshing the team following new information. And the latest sub having to wait for promotion to the team makes it a bit more challenging. You don't get everyone who's just had a hit picking the same name as a sub.

Youri Tielemans played for Belgium at the 2018 World Cup alongside Marouane Fellaini who played at Manchester United with Michael Carrick who played at West Ham with Stuart Pearce who played at Nottingham Forest with Lee Chapman who played at Ipswich with John Wark who was in Escape to Victory with Max Von Sydow who was in Awakenings with Robert De Niro who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.

Following the death of Michael Gambon I have updated the ten earliest winners of the Evening Standard Theatre award for Best Actor 1980 Tom Courtenay 1983 Derek Jacobi 1984 Ian McKellen 1998 Kevin Spacey 1999 Stephen Dillane 2000 Simon Russell Beale 2001 Alex Jennings 2003 Michael Sheen 2006 Rufus Sewell 2007 Patrick Stewart Michael Gambon won in 1987 and 1995 which still leaves the three earlier winners from the eighties followed by the much younger winners in the late ninties and early noughties. However, the new addition to the list is the veteran RSC performer Patrick Stewart who would probably be considered alongside the top 3 in terms of potential longevity rather than the other six

Most of it was the Christmas Club money...

Convinced the comeback is on for next year, apparently...
