Not about to die but Theo Baker fucked his hip up while playing in the Sidemen charity football match just now. He had a hip operation only last year and was training for an Ironman.

I've changed Dick Van Dyke to Ali Hassan Mwinyi and David Attenborough to Carl Erskine. Knowing my luck my original picks will die next week.

Congrats @MariNisia. I need to know your secret to getting hits. 1923 - Jacques Borker / Virginia Halas McCaskey 1924 - Dub Jones / Maria Riva 1925 - Ali Hassan Mwinyi / Brigitte Auber 1926 - Carl Erskine / Helen Gallagher 1927 - John Rhodes / Maybelle Blair 1928 - Noam Chomsky / Marion Ross 1929 - Berry Gordy / June Squibb 1930 - John Astin / Frances Sternhagen 1931 - Gerald Harper / Anne Heywood 1932 - Quentin Blake / Jacqueline Beer

Regarding Bruce Springsteen. What is likelihood that he keels over in the next 2 years based on his current health? General question.

I have a vivid memory of Cheryl Cole having a reality show with Will.I.Am and creating a song together and I think it's Fight For This Love. Edit - Just checked, it's Heartbreaker. I do know there was some weird documentary thing going on with Cheryl.

For a minute I thought he was the homeless guy.

The gays are fighting for fourth place it seems.

Fun fact - the child in music video for Mika - Grace Kelly is our recent Eurovision entrant Mae Muller. Edit - I also realised I messed up scoring for Nelly Furtado when I changed my mind who to downvote. I fixed it in my updated post.

Someone give that guy an EKG. As someone with Epilepsy and who has a brother with it as well, I know a seizure when I see one.

Rob Burrow is at NTA Awards tonight.

Has anyone checked in on Bonnie Tyler recently?

I've learnt to stop mentioning which band or artist you love otherwise people with downvote them even quicker (see Take That early 90's as example). Based on your voting though I will still continue to downvote Pet Shop Boys. I saw them live as opening act for said Take That like 10 years ago and they are terrible live (or at least in a stadium venue). My aim is to be tactical every now and then so I have a mental list of who I like and downvote people who I think may get ahead of said artist near the end. I don't always do it this way depending on the list. I also downvote a lot of dance/electric music because I really don't like it.

Seems like there is a new prime minister for every term in school. Since Sept 2022 we've had three and depending on next general election we'll have a fourth by May. Unless something happens with Rishi before then.
