Susan B Bayh. She's been quiet for quite awhile, but maybe that's the point?

Not a good promo for Red Bull.

I know, I know, you gotta do what you love, but can't you love Scrabble?

Don't hold your breath for Barbara Windsor. This is her from this September. That is not a lady who is going to die from her dementia next year. Given that level of physical ability, another decade is quite possible. Of course, something else could get her, but it won't be dementia.

From a strictly actuarial perspective, she's 3:2 to make it.

This guy, Eric Tien, is pretty much an unknown, but if he sticks with his climate change hunger strike to the bitter end, he just might get a QO. My hunger strike could be deadly. But I am willing to risk that for climate action https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/27/hunger-strike-climate-action-extinction-rebellion?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard

I'm Canadian and I demand a 'Beachcombers' thread! I mean, if you don't mind, please?

That's cold, man.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the state of The Union these days. The country is irreconcilably divided in half. Both halves are responsible, but can only blame the other, with ever increasing rage and futility.

Not looking great for Bernard Tapie. Doesn't look like a legal maneuver looking for sympathy this time. This time it's for reals. In his lungs now. 2020 cert, imo. https://www.jeanmarcmorandini.com/article-408934-bernard-tapie-annonce-avec-dignite-et-emotion-que-son-cancer-touche-desormais-ses-poumons-apres-la-peau-l-oesophage-l-estomac-la-corde-vocale-c-est-une-evolution-video.html?amp

Adding prostate cancer to my list of 'Avoid for Dead Pools'. Too slow usually, which is great if you have it. Turnbull now figures he has 18 left. YEARS! https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1205879/Bill-Turnbull-prostate-cancer-Staying-Alive-BBC-Breakfast-news-latest/amp

Probably suffocated trying to say his title.

I'm not usually one to complain about choice of thread, but hard rock/metal? More like alternative folk/Celtic rock. Spirit of the West were one of my favorite bands in the 90s, and I still play them from time to time when I need a pick me up. Save This House will stand the test of time for decades. Brilliant stuff. Such a shitty way to go for a wonderful and honorable front man.

Someone has been studying the Nawaz Sharif playbook. https://nationalpost.com/news/canadian-fashion-designer-peter-nygard-says-he-is-too-ill-to-travel-to-bahamas-for-jail-sentence

Has bin.

How he hasn't had a heart attack or stroke by now is unfathomable. Due any day.

I'm not disagreeing with you entirely, there is alot of futile care out there, but what is it specifically about this situation that suggests Balbir would be better off dead? He is only 95, we have seen many live much longer, with treatable illnesses and apparently his full wits about him. Are you suggesting they not treat him if the expectation is that he will get better? Which he apparently is doing again?

Speaking of Days of Our Lives, the entire production is in the last days of it's life after 55 years. Indefinite hiatus supposedly, but who knows? https://globalnews.ca/news/6162595/days-of-our-lives-hiatus/amp/

I once took a seminar called 'caring for your chainsaw'. I still look back on that and wish I'd worn a goalie mask.

Most of us in Western Canada just call him 'that fucker out East'. No name necessary.

Yes, that is correct, except I spelled it Dilip Kumar.

20 teams? I don't see my team listed SC.

I'll take " When will he cark it?" for 500, Alex.

Nawaz Sharif is presently on an 8 week medical bail program. Expect him to be in and out of the news with variable medical maladies during this time, with an acute crisis or 2 in or around Christmas. Just in time for a whole lot of folks to pick him for their pools. Shortly in the new year, he will experience a miraculous recovery after his medical bail is established as more 'permanent'. He will be with us for years, with just enough info released to maintain his medical bail. He is playing the system like a maestro.
