Jean-Marc Bosman

I bent over backwards to avoid picking him.

Apparently the B-SIDE of They're Coming To Take Me Away is the same song, played backwards and attributed to 14th Napoleon.

I have noticed a couple of wrong attributions for a couple of my picks in my THEME TEAM "Jocks Away" The James Harkness that I selected is NOT a Scottish Actor but is a former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Harkness_(minister) And the Ian McCulloch that I selected is the Actor, famous, to those of a certain age, as the star of the scary-as-fuck-for-the -time Sci Fi drama SURVIVORS, and not the bloke from Echo and the fanny men :-) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0567135/bio Of course, we all know that within a fortnight both the actor Harkness and the singer McCulloch will crash into each other on the M60 and be killed. Cheers.

He toppled off the roof

I never saw that one com. . . . . Ach I won't. Too easy ! ! !

Tim Lobinger's passing reminds me of the old, joke from before the fall of the Soviet Union . . . "and in sports news, the East German pole Vault champion has just become, erm, well, the West German pole vault champion."

How did we miss this one - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64515027

Ah yes HONOURS ! ! ! Alan Cumming gives back OBE over links to 'toxic' British Empire

Ah. I see what happened. She was on the list as SIMS. I see it has been corrected now.

I cant believe no one picked Sylvia Syms https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64426891?fbclid=IwAR3qlyb7sLAdqZqv5P_g7Es2MO2qq1EBNw5edVA6qQ9axjorNY1qF4jnWPU She is ICE COLD now.

Come again??

I am not trying to be cheeky or anything, but how do you know what his team name is? Thanks.

She is a B list actress !!!

People in Birmingham think that THIS is a Kipper Tie . . . .

I ran out of subs LOL I thought that Alan Bocking was a good shout but did he not go and die BEFORE I picked him. DOH !! ! !! I think I will have 18 names in my list Next year I think I will put in 10 subs

So 19 days in to the competition, we must have round about 19 hits so far ! ! ! !

I am sure someone must have picked her https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jan/17/worlds-oldest-known-person-french-nun-lucile-randon-sister-andree-dies-at-118
