    Might be worth holding onto any King Charles coinage that comes into your possession if they are not going to be around for long.

    Yeah…like the Edward VIII postage stamps. Everyone hoarded them for the same reason.

     

    The result? They are virtually worthless.

    Never listened to him. I can't stand that type of programme where the DJ is a self-styled "character" with lots of tedious gimmicks taking precedence over the music.

    My ideal show is just music, no talking except to tell us briefly the artist and title of the track we've just heard.

    He totally trashed Pick of The Pops by talking over songs or cutting them out early to fit in more of his meaningless drivel. 
    As someone has already said, hopefully we’ll get Gambacini back.

    Unlikely IMHO

    Totally agree….but just adding to the list of reasons for “here today, gone tomorrow” demises. Clearly not a car crash.

    How fucking lame then.  That wasn’t the intent.  Hell, referees and ball boys and groundskeepers.  Vendors?  Widows of 1966?  Shit there’s a DDP theme team!!!

    Don’t shoot the messenger

    Surely this thread must be renamed "The Boy of 66" given Geoff is the only one left. 

    Read how the original post has expanded.
    It now includes the Germans as well.

    I've talked about Jim Lovell and Tom Stafford before, so I'll throw in a new astronaut to throw in for consideration. Joe Engle. He's 91, has been wheelchair bound for a couple years now and was barely able to speak in an interview in 2021.

     

    Also since everyone's recommending 5 names it seems, let me throw you 4 more.

     

    Wilson Fittipaldi - F1 driver and older brother of Emerson, suffers from Parkinson's disease and looked like this 2 months ago.

    George Eastham - Hospitalized several times including for a severe pneumonia bout in the last 2 years, in generally poor health.

    Dries Van Agt - Former Dutch PM. 92, suffered a massive stroke in 2019, frail and rarely seen around in public these days.

    Pori Moni  - My wildcard suggestion for those death pools that accept obscure picks. Bangladeshi actress who's only 31 but has battled drug and alcohol addiction and was hospitalized four times in the last 2 years, twice for serious illness with high fever.

    George Eastham HAS to be on my ‘24 list
