Toast

Joe Mercer is still around, although I have no idea about his health. Other retired jockeys include erstwhile BBC commentators Jimmy Lindley and Richard Pitman.

There's a DDP theme team that's quite similar.

Thanks, @Paul Bearer. Could the title be changed to Darwin Awards so that it shows up better in a search for such? I notice Sir Creep had previously made several posts in the thread, presumably forgot it existed, and failed to find it under "darwin".

Might be an idea to retitle it as Darwin Awards, use that ^ as a subtitle, and add SC's latest contribution.

There's this one as well.

"The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star" That description says it all.

I'm afraid that you are indeed very much mistaken if you think that you were the first to mention him.

You were saying?

People have been saying that for years.

I can't find any recent news on Gerald. He looks and sounds hale and hearty here, but it's seven years ago, so who knows. http://gibraltaron.tv/exclusive-interview-gerald-harper

I'm considering reaching out to whoever wrote that piece .... and strangling them.

More ignorant Americanism from the BBC with its constantly declining standards. William Hill plans 700 store closures putting 4,500 jobs at risk Anyone ever heard of a betting store? Thought not. (I know "shop" isn't logical either, but we've called them betting shops ever since they were invented.)

This is a truer interpretation of Born In The USA, which is not a patriotic flag-waving song.

She is lucky, as it certainly doesn't work for everybody.

Oh! Him ......

Glyn Houston is a hit for me here pending a QO. http://www.deanpowellpr.com/index.php/newsroom/100-welsh-actor-glyn-houston-dies-at-93 ETA This should do for now. https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2019-07-04/rhondda-born-actor-glyn-houston-dies-age-93

Glyn Houston has died. A very full obit from his agent mentions his appearance as a stoker in ANTR.

Bit late to the party, but Chernobyl was utterly awesome. Incredible TV, grim but gripping.

Might have fitted in here.

Poor effort on the whole. Just the one spelling mistake? Hmmm

I'll play again. I will send in my team by PM in due course.

Good to hear. Hope you're not too uncomfortable while you heal, and that it's done the trick.

It could be re-started at any time, could it not, if someone was willing to run it?

It's just that I forget that these things have ended and then somebody kicks the bucket and I get all excited thinking I've scored some points somewhere, only to find they were a pick in this pool and it finished three months earlier ......
