Game Over?

I don't get it. What was the joke? I think the joke was the character that washed dishes and only had one arm. Bit like having someone with a wooden leg who tap dances. Or a one-legged Tarzan.

Foremer cabinet minister Lord (Tony) Newton has died aged 74.

You know that movie Armageddon? With the Aerosmith song and Liv Tyler and Steve Buscemi phoning his appearance in? Friend of a friend works in the movie industry on... like, I dunno what you call it. Special effects I suppose. Anyway, we were at some dreary drinks party once and he's had a few and he lets slip... Bruce Willis didn't actually fly into space and blow an asteroid up for that movie. It's all made up, entirely. Really? You'll be telling me next John Hurt didn't really have an alien rip through his stomach and Arnie and Danny aren't even related, let alone twins. My point being that no-one ever tried to claim that Hollywood blockbusters are anything but fiction - unlike WWF/WWE. No one tries to pass it off as real these days, not since the 1970s. Vince McMahon's concept of "Sports Entertainment" put paid to that I would suggest that McMahon was trying to pass it off as sport into the 90's. If there is evidence (even anecdotal) to the contrary I'd like to see it.

You got one thing right anyway.

We want a bigger name than that. How about Vince McMahon ? That would shake up the wrestling world It does need shaking up, Vince has too much power and has let it all go to his head. And he's more pre-occupied with money-losing follies like WWE Studios than actually investing in the long-term future of the product that actually made him rich in the first place. He has become the Howard Hughes of wrestling But does anyone really give a shit? Its not like anyone believes that the matches are real is it?

The under-rated oft-overlooked Peter Houseman, killed in a car crash aged 31, 35 years ago.

I hate to be pedantic but that's from the IRISH Sun. But it's the UK Sun's webpage. Its a moot point now that everyone and his dog has published obits but I see the rules have disappeared from the DDP site, so I can't challenge your reasoning.

I'm not familiar with the term "a quarter to four scenario", but of the beverages listed I'd choose none of the above. if its an open choice, then, depending on what I was doing at the time, a black coffee, no sugar, a pint of decent real ale, or (worst case scenario) a Coke Zero.

Helmut Schmidt. Why not?

The creator of Red Bull, Chaleo Yoovidhya has died aged 89. You might say he's got his wings.

... and three years later, it reaches Worcester Crown Court. I hope BearGrove/SuttonHunter has got front row tickets. ...and another year later, PJ Proby cleared of benefit fraud. Prosecution under the Trades Description Act to follow, surely?
