WTF do I know, I'd have had money on Simmo to come out of the blocks with a winning team given the budget he's had and the faith of the new owners. Three defeats in four league games, I've personally witnessed seven goals hit the back of our net and I was spared live updates this weekend because of the shit wifi at the paranormal conference I attended, when my messages caught up in Costa it was people telling me the sacking was imminent, more than that, the clearout includes two who might - in less ambitious times - have been contenders for the caretaker role. So Carlisle want someone who can turn that shopping spree into play off contention, then: https://www.carlisleunited.co.uk/news/club-statement-31-august-2024?fbclid=IwY2xjawFBw8JleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHaBPzmtPriPZ0IkYMTQw10CuC1MEu2ZmyIAcINN-za8w5hKJaBumX7Cxkg_aem_9SkIIvYDb5PxyStOLtgJXg

Walter Kliche was a Uruguayan actor with a great career in Chile and Argentina, although apparently he does not stand out abroad, since he does not even have a Wikipedia page in English, he had a lot of recognition in Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. Wikipedia page: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Kliche IMDb: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0459420/ I don't know if could count an obituary in Spanish in this case, but as you say John Key will have the last word on this election.

That would be a sad loss. Director of some forum favourites like episodes of Thriller and Armchair Thriller. However, his and the late David Mittons work on Tugs was revolutionary in TV terms. They invented ways of shooting model work around waterways, stimulating weather effects and pioneered a whole bunch of camera techniques for versimilitude that didn't only get taken up by other kids shows (Thomas benefitted heavily from it) but also Hollywood films and beyond. An important SFX behind the scenes name.

Warren Buffett is 94. A little clip from a show where one of the VAs parodied him:

This thread really shouldn’t exist. Off topic clickbait being plastered by Crem and a few others is its only function.
