Great Uncle Bulgaria

Thought I'd test myself and found I'd only heard of 5/24 of the people on this page (Hope, Colbert, Lee, Schumann and Calment). Famous Americans obviously not going to be my specialist subject on Mastermind.

Anne Buydens (2), Tom Moore, (2) Des O'Connor (6), Nobby stiles (3) and Murray Walker (2) = 15. 4th bottom at best and I may have won a wooden spoon.

Just added some dates to his upcoming tour. Has aged a bit in the last couple of years but voice still sounds pretty good. At this stage would say he's 3-5 years away from being of interest to us. Jane Fonda wasn't looking too bad last time I saw her, although given mostly botox and fillers from the neck up hard to tell definitively. Most of the rest are regularly discussed in these parts. Never heard of the last guy. Is he famous?

Jack Rothstein (who er..helped me out on violin on the first 4 wombles albums) is also dead. He also played violin on 'I am the Walrus' and 'Within You , Without You' for some long-forgotten bunch of scousers and a lot of classical stuff but his finest moment was the introduction on the second album's title track, 'Remember You're a Womble.'

I feel your pain. 3 teams entered, 1/60 dead....

The Shadow Lists thread. Just lots of people saying how they are beating the committee - in many cases by the simple tactic of including a number of people who aren't (IMO) famous.

Not that it affects the leaderboard (or even the top three quarters of the table) but I think I should have 15 points rather than 12. Anne Buydens 2 Tom Moore 2 Des O Connor 6 Nobby Stiles 3 Murray Walker 2 Thanks.

Currently reading 'Reilly - Ace of Spies' by Andrew Cook. Bit stodgy in places, but does a good job of undermining the legend (as told by the lying, murdering, thieving subject himself).

About 95% of music released after 1985. Percentage increases for anything produced by boybands, dance/house/rave/trance etc music of the early 90s and rap music (with its preceding silent C). And 'lonely this Christmas' by Mud, not because it's dreadful in itself, but had it never existed 'Wombling Merry Christmas' would have been the 1974 Christmas number one.
