    Really not the best obit in translation, but prolific Japanese actor Masahiko Tsugawa, who appeared in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, has reportedly died aged 78: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fheadlines.yahoo.co.jp%2Fhl%3Fa%3D20180807-00000163-spnannex-ent&edit-text IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0875256/ His wife, singer and actress Yukiji Asaoka, died in April.

    The Greatest Show In The Galaxy is one of McCoy's finest moments in Doctor Who. Good cast, strong story.

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    Unless you are the father of a footballer, it's dangerous to speculate or express an opinion, for fear of the wrath of The Hatter...

    Tony Parkinson, the father of DDP Pick Gary Parkinson has reportedly died, aged 74:
  6. Not sure what this means. The fact that @Spade_Cooley got a name check was enough for me:

    Heavy on the butter and milk, mind, and you can open a restaurant and have a Michelin star within the week!

    The symbiotic relationship between chefs, foodies and critics is all crap. I'd include a link to the definition of "symbiotic" for The Hatter, but it's more fun looking it up. Go to it.

    No he didn't. See above. It's still mash. How many Michelin stars do you get for hiding your steak in a courgette flower?

    Why don't you just fuck off? I never see you express an opinion, I do however see you regularly attack other members of this forum. I thought I'd seen some improvement, nay maturity, in your posts of late, turns out your just a little troll using this forum to stir up hate. Again. I don't write books, I don't make television programmes, I don't do stand up comedy, etc etc. Doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have a personal opinion. I have worked in kitchens in the past and some of the best chefs are the ones paid a pittance to work for the so-called "very best". So I do have some experience. Do come back when you have more experience of life @The Mad Hatter and when you actually express an opinion on anything maybe I'll agree, maybe not. But we are not all the same. You're becoming a fuckwit again. Grow the fuck up.

    99.9% of the obits from the Mail are not published in the Mail. They do appear online. No difference with the Independent now imo. However, we live with the rules, our picks die by the rules.

    Celebrity Chefs

    (1) I never addressed the question of charitable donations. Not my point. (2) I'm not a chef. I think my point wasn't particularly well made. These chefs make up recipes, serving tiny portions at exorbitant prices to idiots who have too much money and not enough sense. In other words, these chefs are merely pretentious parasites feeding on other mainly pretentious parasites. Clear enough? I gave an example of how a celebrity chef may garner more respect from me. It's not an exclusive example. My personal respect for someone one way or another shouldn't bother you. You may have a different opinion, which I shall respect, rather than launch an immediate attack on someone to attempt to shut them down. My opinion remains the same. My mother used to mix milk into the mashed potatoes to make it go further. She didn't invent that, neither did this French chef. So he cheapens the product, makes it go further to serve more customers and gives it a fancy name. We are expected to be in awe of that?

    Wait a minute..did I just hear on the news that this Joel Robuchon was world famous for his invention of pomme puree? Posh mashed tatties? Creamed? Honestly, these foodies will swallow everything they are served. All these chefs are only interested in serving the rich and famous. When I hear of one who regularly works down the canteen at a soup kitchen once a week, I'll have more respect for them and their clientele.

    The Hare's Death Pool

    Applying the most liberal of interpretations to the rules surrounding obituaries (as is normal for this pool), I'll accept the reference to Richard Haag's death. One team cultivates a fairly shoddy amount of points, but they are points nonetheless.

    Richard Haag, landscape architect and DDP (and others) pick, has reportedly died: https://tclf.org/tclf-mourns-loss-rich-haag Way back in May, apparently.

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2018

    Ok, several teams had Charlotte Rae as a main pick: msc, Death Impends; Captain Chorizo; FujimoriNoMorey; Clorox Bleachman, Torva Messor and yours truly Young Willz. Death Impends gains an additional 10 Points for making a pair of 7s with his first two hits! Gah! Now to those who had Rae as a sub: Wouk This Way drew J Clubs = 11 Points Joey Russ drew A Diamonds = 14 Points The Old Lady drew 5 Diamonds = 5 Points Leaderboard updated.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Given Marr was recruited by Tam Paton from another band, given that Marr was by all accounts a talented keyboardist and given Marr was on their first record and toured with the band, I doubt very much his part was done by a session muso.
