I did think he'd go this year. He's on a few of my lists...just not this one. So, off to claim points....

Still Nil Nil in the battle of the titans though, I see....

Jesus! Christ! Ah well, now he's dead, I feel better about my inveterate sinning....

Cream Soda for the win. Nothing better on a hot day than Cream soda in a glass, topped up with a scoop of ice cream. Summer luxury. Winter luxury...Creamola Foam.

Three teams imagined Catherine Nevin serving out her time until late in the year. Sadly, like her, their chances of that have now died.

Hah! You're right of course, the name pre-dates Ringo....I just normally use that as a contraction! Probably just John from my Alzheimers ridden memory...

Maybe MPFC can come up with something better, been ages since I read my literature. I know The Beatles went by the name of the Silver Beetles for a time, but I can't remember if they added Silver because there was already an American group called The Beetles. As I recall, Beatles was an original name thought up by JPGR. I've never heard of a competing claim to the name, and given how litigious the Americans were, I'm sure they would have sued at the time. Urban myth?

Routine procedure on a 90 year old...thought it would be of passing interest.

Sooo...Rosalynn Carter recovering from surgery....http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/02/18/rosalynn-carter-recovering-from-surgery-in-atlanta.html

Lots of teary eyes at Gary Oldman..... Not in a joyous way...I'm wondering if something's up....

According to her niece, Dorka Nieradzik has died. https://twitter.com/MissAuroraAdams/status/963155021138448384 She won a BAFTA for hair/make-up on the TV version of Cold Comfort Farm, but will be fondly remembered by Doctor Who fans for her make-up and hair design on such stories as The Leisure Hive, Logopolis, The Trial Of A Time Lord and Silver Nemesis, amongst others.

Everyone's felt a tremor through a chopper, surely?

Lassie Lou Ahern's death means that Call Of The Wild (1923) and The Forbidden Woman (1927) have entirely dead casts according to IMDB. Annoyingly, everyone is also dead in Little Mickey Grogan (1927) apart from a certain named Don Bailey who played a Truant Officer. If he's still alive, I'm guessing he'd be in his early 100s, but unlikely we'll ever know.

There is the whole teaching Renee Zellwegger to dance thing though, as well as her hard times story from a couple of years ago. I'd say there's a possibility of a QO, just not immediately.

Just beautiful....

Rhett is on the case. If it's true, Hollywood Reporter will have it up within 48 hours.

Report of Lassie Lou Ahern's death: Now we wait for formal confirmation.....

However, updating the Joker's Pool leaderboard with a witticism or two is absolutely permitted....
