    Pneumonia apparently.

    That’s quite unusual for someone so young but David Martindale the manager of Livingston has revealed he suffered badly from Covid in 2020 and that might be why he has suffered badly from Pneumonia.

    Esther Rantzen was only a sub for that broadcasting team. But I forgot who died to make room for her, maybe it was even a case of one of the original 20 names being picked twice.

    She was in my team until the honours list came out and I removed her (as the youngest member) for Virginia McKenna.

  4. Now we know it’s Prostate cancer it is less surprising he has survived so long - it’s common for even the end stages of that cancer to last a long time. 
     

    Sounds like he could be around for a few months yet as he is still hoping to visit the House of Lords.

    Good to see the two who nearly made my Dames teams, Mary Peters and Esther Rantzen have both popped up on other teams. 

    And good job Esther Rantzen has what with her now having secondary lung cancer.

    They're probably too old. (j/k :D).

     

    Not everyone's cup of tea; there were some punk bands I didn't/don't like but I wouldn't have called Television punk; (nor Blondie, The Ramones, or Green Day, all of which/whom I have seen described as punk).

    I don’t think Blondie is anywhere near punk. My parents like them.

    I can understand how that may be.  He (and Television) was as important to the New York punk underground as the early innovators were in London/U.K.  Maybe not Sex Pistols important, but no far fae it.

    Punk is not that mainstream in the Uk - the majority of the Uk could only name the Sex Pistols if asked to name a punk band.

    This definitely did not merit a BBC breaking news notification on my phone early.

    They've got a trigger happy intern sending those notifications right now.

    Is it you, Crem?

    At least it’s actually breaking News rather than some notifications from both the BBC and Sky which are just filler articles. 


  9. She looks like she could go on for a few more years yet. Can’t be many people 19 years after a dementia diagnosis who can still be taken out to public places and presumably be able to eat in public even with some assistance.

    Does anyone think the new First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford may go the way of Donald Dewer. He doesn't look exactly healthy.

    He hasn’t yet but his wife Clare has died suddenly.
