Oh I agree Scotland has issues. But that article also says 87 per cent of Scottish water bodies have a good or high water quality and despite the higher rainfall that figure had increased from 82 percent previously. There's no incentive to lie to the regulators when both are publicly owned. What, dare I ask, is the equivalent percentage in England, knowing that the water companies have been lying about their pollution? Take that percentage for England and say, reduce it by half? Feargal "Undertones" Sharkey seems to think there isn't a river, lake or beach unaffected by sewage.

You English and your private water suppliers! Did I just hear Michael Gove slagging the water companies off? The water companies created under the Tories? The water companies who for years have been filling your rivers and beaches with your shite? You know what, Michael? That's what happens when you leave it to the free market. That's what happens when you go back to a Victorian system of management. Albeit the Victorians were much more philanthropic in their individual water systems. Has Gove been in a coma for 14 years? (We know he hasn't, but that's what it sounds like - or electioneering!).

Dunno. If you think Bruce Forsyth was funny, there's a widow knocking around, a beauty queen no less. I don't really know about celebrities and their families, mind, avid readers of celeb mags and the society pages may help.

I think I've clarified my non-interest already! Back in those days the Wolves, the Tottenham and the Forest were the teams alongside Liverpool. How times have changed (I understand there are some other teams doing rather better these days, from the little I hear of English footy).

I'm not a huge fan of football, but that Notts Forest team was incredible. Lloyd played under Shankly and Cloughie, jesus that's two hard gigs!

Well, I felt he could easily be missed from his stunning appearance in the UK charts. Many may wonder why his music career didn't take off.

Cross-posting news of Larry Lloyd's death from the Singles Chart thread, confirmed by Notts Forest: https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2024/march/28/larry-lloyd--/ @Death Impends another addition to the List of the Missed, picked last year: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2023/celebs_L.html#lloydl023

Various reports that European Cup winner with Nottingham Forest and UEFA Cup winner with Liverpool Larry Lloyd has died:

Former manager of the Stones Andrew Loog Oldham has posted this curious tweet: Sitting up, but quite clearly some sort of of hospitalisation.

If not a pick for the DDP this year, I do think he was previously picked. But I'm about to sit down for my dinner, someone else might do the quick search.

Joan Morecambe reportedly dead:

Dreamt that I saw a notification that Yoko Ono had died. Was going to rush to post it here until I saw that the notification was from a little known chess site, and further searches turned up nothing. Was getting more and more frustrated, then I woke up. Odd.

Lady Anne Phipps, youngest daughter of Oswald Phipps, 4th Marquess of Normanby, death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/phipps-notices_56419 Mentioned on Oswald's Wiki, so worth a mention. Only born 1965. Obviously sister of the current Marquess (b. 1954).

With all this shuffling, maybe it's time for the current Government to get their own pack of cards like Saddam's cronies. (Probably be full of Jokers, mind!).

Hmm. So we are to be mind readers? Is clairvoyant a French word? A lot of it in the sporting world is taking the British sports subsidies and lottery support. Yes, it's the free money. It's very easy to change your citizenship, very very difficult to lose your domicile of birth. Notwithstanding that, this is a storm in cup of cafe au lait.

What is the point of your responses? My point is folk are quite happy to take the glory of foreign born sporty folk without questioning their "Britishness". I have the same opinion on Petula, and her French credentials.

I have a lot of names to call him. Probably now best known for avoiding British tax by fucking off to the US as soon as he could, and being the guy who sells Quorn for a living.

Mo Farah is Somalian. Johanna Konta is Australian. Sandy Lyle is English. etcetera etcetera. Preconceived ideas of nationality/domicile are surprising, sometimes. Given her hugely long career living in France and singing in French, I see no problem here. Call her an adopted daughter. It's an unnecessary itch to scratch, imo.

Thanks for letting us know @I.R.Baboon.
