Times obit for DDP pick Ian Oliver, Chief Constable sometime of Grampian Police forced out by tabloid revelations in 1998 and his handling of a child murder inquiry which resulted in Donald Dewar telling him to pack his bags and go: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ian-oliver-obituary-fmz28cpm9 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Oliver

Nearest Truss has got to understanding Maths is a Pizza Pie Chart: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6915533/Liz-Truss-takes-Easter-recess-chillaxing-max-breakfast-leftover-takeaway.html Possibly the same Pizza Pie she was eating when she used to gaze over to Jimmy Savile...

Clu Gulager being widely reported to have died: Ninjaed by less than a minute @drol, better Clive me.

And yet more QOs than Ronnie Hellstrom. Yeah, I'll scratch that itch again.

Anyone here been through a similar situation like me? See Whitney Houston’s thread. Anyone not shouldn’t be holding themselves out as a fucking medical expert.

I am going to disagree on this one. Television has a huge spread of programming, unlike film for example. So you have a range of everything from light entertainment to serious documentaries and hey, even the news. Imo, folk picking shows with a huge range of guests have a problem in that the chances of their picks, only 3, are less likely to gain hits. I mean, there’s no uniques rule here. Where do you draw the line? Top of the Pops or Soul Train for example. The rules do restrict some picks safely here. Unlike the Silver Screen which I thought intended fictional casted films, not documentaries, why keep an artificial restriction here? Guests on Sunday Night At The London Palladium are no different to guests on Parkinson. Anyhow, too late for the first round but certainly something for the runner to chew over for later rounds.

The blows keep coming. OldWillz and Mrs OldWillz big fans, so a lot of her voice in my childhood homes. Georgy Girl and Morningtown in particular. If there is a beyond, I know they will welcome Judith with open arms. RIP.

I believe I have pointed out all the crucial times Bawjaws was on holiday at critical times for the country. This time however he has an excuse, because he’s powerless anyway. Still believe this lot are still not laughing at you?

Has she seen the price of Coffey? The information hasn't percolated through, I guess...

Outrageous faux indignation from Northern Tory MPs about the "revelation" that Sunak repatriated money from deprived areas to affluent areas. Hey, bitches, we already knew that - and bitches, you voted for it.

Caught Ron Howard on the Colbert show the other night, still amazingly full of life and fun.

One living actor from that scene....

Sitcom and soap actor Michael Redfern, best known as the patriarch of the OXO advert family, dead: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/iconic-oxo-dad-actor-michael-27670514 IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0714826/ All gravy if you picked him for summat.

I have no access to your link, and Ancestry and most of the other links you post here. I had a quick swatch at Books results. If it's not Barbara Woodhouse, who cares anyway?

Steves was from the United States, was living in Berkshire in 1980 or so, gleaned from Google Books. Cannot find a death in the UK myself, possible she returned to the States.

Might be a push certainly, but what a career! No chance she has a tenuous link with The Beatles?

Margot Eskens, mentioned in the DACH thread, representing Germany in 1966 with Die Zeiger Der Uhr, reportedly dead aged 82: https://eurovoix.com/2022/08/04/germany-eurovision-1966-margot-eskens-died/ DDP pick @gcreptile I think for Book?

Albert Woodfox of the Angola Three, reportedly dead: https://www.democracynow.org/2022/8/4/breaking_ex_black_panther_albert_woodfox

Just about to settle down for 3 hours with Sky. This is now a sham contest, Sunak has no chance. A lot of the voter base truly believe he was traitorous to Boris and that's all that matters to them. So if you are Sunak, the best thing to do now is throw in the towel, get the lame duck out of Downing Street and get in Truss who is not only not ready for the great office of state she aspires to, but also will not be able to deliver "from day one" all her promises about tax cuts, VAT alterations etc because Parliament isn't back for weeks. All they truly are doing is ensuring Johnson has a few more weeks free PM pay and allowing Truss to take the necessary media classes to try and make her presentable to floaters.

Samson were one of my late wee brother's favourites, so it comes as a surprise when reviewing their chart positions that they are so low. RIP.

I have submitted a team. I’ll be amazed if anyone has picked the show, but I’m open to surprises! Any problems @MortalCaso, let me know.

I have met a fair few famous people. I know none of them. A blessing, if you will.

French born Australian WBC former featherweight champ Johnny Famechon reportedly dead: https://www.3aw.com.au/australian-boxing-legend-johnny-famechon-dies-aged-77/ I'll check but surely a DDP pick? Edit: Apparently not, mentioned a lot here though.

I dunno, I didn't scroll down far enough to reach the pics with her knickers off!
