Maybe I've been watching the wrong sessions, but I haven't heard Willie Thorne's dulcet commentary yet. Virgo, McManus, Doherty, Hendry and Taylor. Can understand Griffiths as I think he's still got a player he coaches in. Ali Carter's accent gets stronger every time I hear him, doing well for a repeated pick for the DDP.

Seamless as always, ha! Last thing a runner needs - headaches! And an extra month's worth of games. We love ya, msc.

Well, there's an open goal.... Anyone?

Rodrigues Neto, part of the Brazil 1978 squad, dead at 69: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-04/30/c_138024888.htm

While I'm here, happy birthday to Steven Mackintosh, 7 months younger than me and the ginger boy who is the first to be condemned to the Timelash. Gawd, I remember when I was that skinny. Still fairly skinny now, but then so is Steven.

That would be hilarious if his 1983 singing partner outlives him...…..cos I have her on my team! *laughs hysterically*

DDP pick Johannes Witteveen gets his QO @Spade_Cooley: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2019/04/29/johannes-witteveen-head-imf-negotiated-92-billion-bail-out-1976/ Who would have thought?

Not sure about Bruck, what was his claim to fame?

Problem with this is no-one can read the story in EU due to GPDR. But that's not your fault. Some US sites are readable, just the way it is, some things will never change....

John Sessions...now there's a talent. If you go back and watch how funny he is in Whose Line... then also look at his dramatic work, well there's no comparison with Slattery et al.

Not putting in the Widow thread, because.... Anyhow, Jo Sullivan Loesser, Broadway musical star and widow of Frank Loesser, dead at 91 reportedly: https://deadline.com/2019/04/jo-sullivan-loesser-dead-broadway-frank-loesser-actress-most-happy-fella-guys-and-dolls-obituary-1202603717/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1692989/ IBDB: https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/jo-sullivan-61452

I don't think she's funny though. Was she funny in The Taming? Thanks for the warning about Good Omens, though, whatever that is. I'd hate to accidentally take an interest in something she's in!

Never thought he was that funny. Talented I'd say, but comedy....nah! As far as that class goes, only slightly less overrated than Josie Lawrence, who had two buttons she could press...little girl or Northern. And let's face it, 99 per cent of Southern English comics have used Northern as their go to since the Romans invented roads.

Daily Star story I linked to now refers to conflicting reports...ha! Looks like TMZ rowed back from their breaking story PDQ! So still available for Windy City-ers….

John Singleton dead according to US reports I can't link to, because of GPDR. However, there's this: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/775430/John-Singleton-dead-cause-age-stroke-Boyz-n-the-Hood-director

Maybe now we are down to a manageable number, we should have a Bhoys of '67 thread. My money's on Bertie Auld outliving the others. (I'm probably losing that money, ha!)

Monir gets a QO @Spade_Cooley, BBC no less: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-48037442

In fact, it was probably the murder of Blair Peach and the attitude of the police, including the tasty racism of McNee and his cohorts, which led to this from Not The Nine O'Clock News:

Anyone who remembers the horrid actions of the cops re Blair Peach can wish him well in hell.

Richie Driss becomes the latest presenter: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48058224 I'll update the list. Seems like he was born in 1989. Gawd.

Well, where else to put this? British stunt performer and actor Frank Henson dead: https://www.fanthatracks.com/news/film-music-tv/frank-henson-rip/ Bond, Star Wars, etc, even Coronation Street and, yes, Supergran! Acting credits include Blakes 7, Space 1999 and Carry On Follow That Camel.
