Squonk

Have been away for a few days and having just got back, checked to see if anyone had picked Gloria Vanderbilt, but apparently not; so here goes for another round: 1920: John Paul Stevens, Norma Barzman 1921: Al Jaffee, Iris Apfel 1922: Carl Reiner, Beverly Pepper 1923: Murray Walker, Gloria Henry 1924: Tony Britton, Carole Cook 1925: Baron Christopher, Honor Blackman 1926: Stanley Baxter, Cloris Leachman 1927: Harry Belafonte, Estelle Parsons 1928: Joss Ackland, Jean Ann Kennedy 1929: Max von Sydow, Lady Pamela Hicks

Very sad to hear this news, I missed the Pointless Celebrities episode he was on, so didn't realise till I read his obit that he'd had his legs amputated. Blake's 7 was always must watch viewing at Squonk Towers. I might have to dust the DVDs off and re-live a bit of my younger days. Farewell Avon, and thanks for many happy hours glued to the TV.

Having considered it carefully, with the Freudian possibility of sexual innuendo (lock and key) I came to the conclusion: she was looking for a word that rhymed with 'me'.

And my list, cunningly exactly the same as last time.... 1920: John Paul Stevens, Norma Barzman 1921: Al Jaffee, Iris Apfel 1922: Carl Reiner, Beverly Pepper 1923: Murray Walker, Gloria Henry 1924: Tony Britton, Carole Cook 1925: Baron Christopher, Honor Blackman 1926: Stanley Baxter, Cloris Leachman 1927: Harry Belafonte, Estelle Parsons 1928: Joss Ackland, Jean Ann Kennedy 1929: Max von Sydow, Lady Pamela Hicks

I came on here expecting a new round with Doris Day taking a sentimental journey...am I missing something, or did none of us pick her in the current round???

How very dare you...I'll have you know when I stole Carl Reiner I was not naked, I was wearing my least smeggy pjs, the ones with only three holes in each armpit and only two custard stains down the front.

Yes, I don't know where Irene came from...apart from the fact it's a name that sounds appropriate for a 97 year old! Thanks for spotting. To confirm my (corrected) list.... 1920: John Paul Stevens, Norma Barzman 1921: Al Jaffee, Iris Apfel 1922: Carl Reiner, Beverly Pepper 1923: Murray Walker, Gloria Henry 1924: Tony Britton, Carole Cook 1925: Baron Christopher, Honor Blackman 1926: Stanley Baxter, Cloris Leachman 1927: Harry Belafonte, Estelle Parsons 1928: Joss Ackland, Jean Ann Kennedy 1929: Max von Sydow, Lady Pamela Hicks

Been away for a bit and surprised to find how many of my original picks have expired since I first compiled my list! 1920: John Paul Stevens, Norma Barzman 1921: Al Jaffee, Irene Apfel 1922: Carl Reiner, Beverly Pepper 1923: Murray Walker, Gloria Henry 1924: Tony Britton, Carole Cook 1925: Baron Christopher, Honor Blackman 1926: Stanley Baxter, Cloris Leachman 1927: Harry Belafonte, Estelle Parsons 1928: Joss Ackland, Jean Ann Kennedy 1929: Max von Sydow, Lady Pamela Hicks

Been away for a few days but wasn't agitating to see how I was doing given my miserable result! Congrats to Spade and I hope you go on to win, so I can say I was beaten by the best!

D'oh, took my eye off the ball there....I'd have entered the same team again, but missed this round, and Andre Previn would have been a hit. Still, you snooze, you lose.....

The Aviator?

If we can still join in, accepting I'm starting some way behind..... 1) Jean-Louis Tringtignant 2) James Earl Jones 3) Peter Alliss 4) Mikhail Gorbachev 5) Norman Tebbit 6) Frank Williams (Dad's Army actor, not the F1 bloke) 7) Don King 8) Angie Dickinson 9) Jean Boht 10) Jack Smethurst (Love Thy Neighbour) 11) Loretta Lynn 12) Brian Murphy (George of George and Mildred) 13) Ray Reardon 12) Jacques Chirac 14) Little Richard 15) Dickie Davies 16) Gene Kranz 17) Tom Skerritt 18) Larry King 19) Wole Soyinka 20) Dave Prowse 21) Dean Stockwell 22) Bill Wyman 23) John Hume 24) Jill Gascoigne 25) Tommy Chong 26) Diana Rigg 27) Ginger Baker 28) Valerie Harper 29) Clive James 30) Harry Reid

Well, knock me down with a feather! Seeing as I'm getting my ass well and truly whupped in the 2019 Deathlist Cup, I think we can chalk this one down to luck rather than anything else. Pity I didn't enter ole' Lyndon in that competition.... 1920: Le Duc Anh, Norma Barzman 1921: Hugh Downs, Irene Apfel 1922: Dilip Kumar, Beverly Pepper 1923: Murray Walker, Gloria Henry 1924: Tony Britton, Carole Cook 1925: Baron Christopher, Honor Blackman 1926: Stanley Baxter, Cloris Leachman 1927: Harry Belafonte, Estelle Parsons 1928: Joss Ackland, Jean Ann Kennedy 1929: Andre Previn, Lady Pamela Hicks

Yeah, rather let myself in for that one when I picked my user name.....

Please....look at my medic-alert bracelet......(Homie the Clown , classic episode, great choice!). Well, it was fun whilst it lasted, but safe to say I'm not bothering to prep a March team, even though we're not half way through the month yet.
