Toast

Would this have happened if he hadn't got terminally ill at a young age, though?

I don't remember André Maranne in anything. I looked at the Fawlty Towers episode that kept being mentioned and he was in it for about two seconds.

No no no ..... yes.

Good. He was a nobody with a sob story latched on to by various Phil Space hacks. The DDP has been degraded by the inclusion of this type of pick. If this decides the winner, it's an abomination.

Probably off the steroids.

Remember you can't pick anyone who's already been picked now.

It's the Queen's reign, not her lifespan. He still qualifies though.

It's only to be expected with such a long run-in.

Better still, call herself by her real first name, the much nicer Rachel.

And an arm-end.

Looks like Biblio is handed a unique pick with Maradona ..........

It just clutters the forum up though. It makes it harder to find references. People need to be exceptionally interesting or regularly newsworthy to merit their own thread. Just being old/ill isn't enough. Most will fit into an existing general thread. The opening post here would be fine in 'Ideas and Possibilities', which is where it belongs.

Why have you started a thread on him?

Is that a site for necrophiles?

That should tell you something.

Meanwhile, does anyone have a view on my password question a couple of posts up? It makes you wonder if it's worth having passwords at all if we're all being spied on to this degree.

Not if there's nothing to say. In the event that there is any news about her, wouldn't Hollywood Possibilities do?

Shirley Maclaine was born in 1934, but the thread is about Joan Collins, who was born in 1933.

He was an extra in A Night To Remember.

We've known about his illness for years. He has his own thread where it's discussed from time to time.

Jason Isaacs stole it.

After all the rave reviews, I was disappointed with The Queen's Gambit. I didn't expect the whole of the first episode to be about a child in an orphanage, and I found it dull. I pressed on, but it just didn't grab me. I thought we would see more of the actual games. I had two attempts at getting to the end of Ep 3, but fell asleep both times, despite the mesmerising presence of Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (he's a terrific scheming slyboots in Medici). After that I gave up on it.
