    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    Sir Durward Knowles, Gold medallist for sailing for Bahamas, has died aged 100. http://www.thebahamasweekly.com/publish/in-memorium/Bahamian_Olympian_Sir_Durward_Knowles_has_died_at_10057258.shtml Pretty sure he was previously a DDP pick. Maybe I'm wrong. Not this year though.

    Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

    Now, Hubert Doggart gets a name check in this article from The Times. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/thanksgiving-service-douginsole-pgdhsxqrq Anyone able to read the whole thing to see if this might be a QO for the DDP?

    The Hare's Death Pool

    We now have a full leaderboard with everyone named. drol still acting as pacemaker, nip and tuck between him and msc. As a result mainly of Billy Graham's demise, 5 more teams have jumped out of the bleachers and on to the racetrack. Meantime, it must be something about gamerunners, as Deathray and yours truly decide that a smoke and watching the entire run of Game of Thrones with Pedro67 in the common room is preferable to being out and about on a track. In this weather? Are you guys crazy? Anyway, the March Hares are revving their engines...how will this affect the next leaderboard in a fortnight?

    The Hare's Death Pool

    No No, Nanette, you were supposed to go later in the year. Fabray is a unique hit on this pool, just an hour or so before the updated leaderboard.

    The Deathlist Cup 2018

    Right, for some reason I've gone all optimistic and sent my March team to msc. It's all terribly exciting down at the Thistle Wanderers United pitch, the only failures are the ability of each team to score and the floodlights.

    Donald J Trump

    Additionally, our medical experts on the forum... What is it with those white patches around his eyes? Is that a sign of something? Or has he been wearing swimming goggles on the golf holiday he has at the taxpayers' expense every weekend?

    Donald J Trump

    Listening to his rambling CPAC speech. "Huzzah, look at all the regulations I've cut" - that would include the regulations on mentally ill people and guns, background checks, bump stocks, you know, the ones you are having to put back. "Huzzah, look at all the jobs I'm creating" - but also losing, your tax cuts have actually led to job losses in major American firms. "Huzzah, we are out of the Climate Accord" - no you are not, you can't possibly withdraw for years yet. "Huzzah, my Administration has done a great job" - yeah, that's why you are sacking most of them? Etc., Etc., Etc, rinse and repeat. The man is delusional. George W Bush looks positively saint like compared with the damage to America's reputation, the reputation of the Presidency, and he's talking about another full term. God help America, and god help the rest of us.

    Dead Architects

    It's all that Brutalist nonsense, from the 1950s to 1970s was the thing. If I'm being really honest (having lived in Sheffield for a time) they look amazing, but I wouldn't want to live there.

    Pope Benedict XVI

    Looks like he's first in line for that Rubettes concert coming up...
  25. It's bothering me that after Trump's "Shitshow of Listening" session that he now maintains arming teachers is the way to go, praises the NRA and in turn the NRA praise him. So I ask: Do Americans carry their weapons when travelling in other countries where that isn't the norm? If an American is in the UK for example, should I be concerned that they are toting their guns?
