    Kobe Bryant

    Get your lips off LFN's plunger, you are catching his troll attitude....

    Kobe Bryant

    Missing my point, you scamp. British coverage of British deaths actually died a long time ago. Takes a while for it to filter through it seems, sometimes ages. It's a long term sore with me that's all. Any opportunity to scratch the scab on the knee of the Forum....

    Kobe Bryant

    I'm talking mainly about the UK press and media. Archibald..British (more accurately Scottish so he matters even less, if only he'd come from London), Olympic player for Team GB, died even younger than Bryant. Think it took at least a couple of days before any UK national media took any notice. Maybe it's easier for one to do the work and others to copy and paste.

    Kobe Bryant

    Watching the gowf, now apparently Tiger Woods has been informed out on the course of the Farmers Insurance at Torrey Pines. I understand this is because they were friends. Again, 6 fucking pages of Google search news in the last hour and every story is about this guy, whoever he was. Where were these reporters when Robert Archibald died? Oh I know, took their own sweet time because British Internationals especially in niche sports don't matter. But apparently if they are American, we are all supposed to bewail this awful loss.

    Doctor Who

    Last week: Probably the best acted for ages, nice historical if sometimes inaccurate Tesla details. Again with the "1970s Streets Of San Francisco" epilogue, though. Yeah, he still dies and nothing changes. Not sure how it advances the story arc, maybe it's not supposed to. This week: Now they are fucking with us. Let's have another Jackson Lake type story only this one is going to be about parallel dimensions so the Master and that Doctor don't belong...but will they become canon? Perhaps overall yet another meaningless sideshow in a "personal journey" arc? Chameleon Arch telegraphed a mile out, saw it coming as soon as old Marcia was executed on the streets of Gloucester. Or is this all Lenny Henry's doing? There's your black female Doctor you always wanted, now fuck off.

    Derby Dead Pool 2020

    Love the description for my TOTP theme team! I think 12 Lords/8Ladies is the only non-theme team to have 20 uniques, ha! XFactor has them and one other which escapes my recollection.

    Derby Dead Pool 2020

    TMIB updated a whole load of them in his last year, then they all reverted to the original the very next year. So you may end up doing a whole load of work, only for it to have to be done again next year! Unless there is some work around for it to save.

    Derby Dead Pool 2020

    Literally, Spade was so on top of the deaths and I wasn't in a great place (with my personal deaths), I was irrelevant. Honestly, I'm going to be in catch up mode where we are with instantaneous updates, but if I catch one I'm just gonna help out. Spade was so awesome on his updates. I saw so many unique hits and couples and triples this year, could not let my Committee down. I'll still be behind, but I'll find those little fuckers which might just pass us by. Spade never needed help. those who ask will always will find help at Hogwarts!!!
