    If we believe the well-founded conspiracy theories, it is a miracle that she is still alive. https://oddlycutepets.com/how-long-do-lizards-live/

    The most highly skilled of all was Lionel Blair, but how the tears of frustration welled up in his eyes during their Italian tour, at not being allowed the use of his mouth to finish off Two Gentlemen Of Verona. Who can ever forget opposing team captain Una Stubbs sitting open mouthed as he tried to pull off Twelve Angry Men in under two minutes! Possibly the most versatile performer was Lionel Blair, and no one will ever forget the occasion he was given A Town Like Alice, when he chose to do a silent impression of the author. Such was the performance, Una Stubbs gasped in amazement when she saw Neville Shute in Lionel's face... Give Us A Clue was made all the better by it's resident expert Lionel Blair, who was particularly good at the films of Richard Gere. Who can forget the gleam of satisfaction in his eye when he was given Yanks by Michael Aspel for two minutes .

    Unlike the good-natured joshing of Des O'Connor by Morecambe & Wise ( eg Deaf O'Connor, etc), the jokes at Blair's expense by Humphrey Littelton were personally very upsetting to Blair. When Littlelton died in 2008, Blair began using this statement whenever he was asked about Littelton. "I was told to only speak good of the dead. Littelton is dead. Good."

    Trueman died 15 years ago in 2006 but the others you mention are still alive in varying degrees of health. Illingworth is the last surviving panellist from the very first edition of Question of Sport which probably deserves its own thread unless there already is one.

    Good to see that mouthy irritating cunt Michael Vaughan ensnared by Yorkshiregate. Always giving it out in print and on radio, let’s see how he can take it. God's Own County, but no Blacks or Asians please. Boycott, Parky, Trueman, Bird, Illingworth and all the other professional Yorkshiremen - go fuck yourselves.

    In case not already mentioned, famous French singer Jacques Dutronc deserves some serious consideration for the 2022 DL. Dutronc is reportedly in failing health like Françoise Hardy (who has been discussed on this forum as another possible contender for the 2022 DL numerous times). https://news.in-24.com/lifestyle/news/77303.html

    Hate Bonfire Night. Terrible night for people everywhere who have pets. My pet lizard has always struggled with it and almost had a heart attack last year with the stress. Thankfully this year I have medication for it. Just gave it its first sedative and now its a calmer calmer calmer chameleon.

    Lively update after two weeks... We have two popular replacement hits, Alan Igglesden and James Michael Tyler. We have the two oldies mentioned above, Mort Sahl,and Lionel Blair. And then today, we had Andrew McDonald. Big beneficiary of it all is Joey Russ who suddenly jumps to second and actually manages to shrink Cpt. Chorizo's lead by a third: Rank Team Score 1 Cpt.

    This is great news, @Bibliogryphon. 20/20 + 1 is my favourite pool. If my bad health gives me a break... we'll see each other again this time in the next edition. I'd rather play with you than anybody else. Thank you for your effort.

    It will be my intention to run 20/20 + 2 which is still proving to be enormous fun for a handful of players but that is the only game I run that is a calendar year. However both my other games are one hit away from ending so we could easily be in to a Silver Screen or Scavenger Hunt preseason at the end of the year (or we could still be here in 12 months)

    Deathrace Form Guide #13 Leslie Philips Ding fucking dong everyone, the annual reminder of the improbable longevity of a louche liver (three wives, a fair bit of target practice along the way) and actor who didn't have to stretch his performance too far to play " lecherous twits with suave chat-up lines " (Wikipedia). Yer man turned 97 in April, he'd have had his friends round but many of them scored points in previous dead pools. How long the doddering thesp with - these days - a fairly pronounced facial growth and visible frailty can go on is the big question. Reports of his demise at any time wouldn't exactly be a surprise. Whether reports of his demise very early in 2022 might prove decisive in this particular pool, on the other hand...well, that depends on whether anyone picks him. The masterlist is currently 39 names long (two teams, one pick in common). I'm not giving too much away if I point out Leslie - Ding Dong - Philips is still awaiting his curtain call.

    Carlisle have selflessly taken the second relegation spot just above Scunthorpe - same points as Oldham but worse goal difference. Last Saturday our defending was - frankly - fucking awful. As some of the usual suspects settle in the bottom six we're in for a long and nervy season.

    Hmm. "The monarch has also continued to enjoy her late-night television pastime, particularly at the weekends, and reportedly stayed up to watch 18-year-old tennis star Emma Raducanu win the US Open. " The Queen famously certainly used to find tennis boring, the 1977 Wimbledon Championships were a particular chore of the Silver Jubilee engagements, so I'd take that with a pinch of salt. I think she'll see 100, but I'm probably going to be adding her to my teams from 2022 onwards. I have a funny feeling both her and David Attenborough will go around the same time, which will be a huge blow to public morale and everything we hold sacred.
