I just realised that England didn't qualify for any WC between the release of "Love Me Do" and John Lennon's death.

^^^ what he said. My trivia is correct.

Parkie can no longer keep you off the Flora

Ray Pointer, three caps for England in 1961, dead at 79. Played in England's 2-0 win over Portugal that saw them qualify for the 1962 World Cup, they wouldn't successfully qualify for another one for another 20 years.

Those who ignored Vanessa Hudgens' "my dad is doing great!" patter last year could be in for a payday, as Greg ain't doing too well.

Real talk, A&J is the only one of those that stands up to repeat viewings nowadays. "Give it a whiz and mugs there is" still enters my subconscious every couple of weeks or so.

Shagged out

What is the record number of deaths by a team in one month?

And Brinson gives me 2,125 on the rebel deathrace and, as stated, I will match the charity contribution of £10 to whoever the winner chooses.

Isn't that the second WrestleCrap writer to kill himself? Not to mention they had John Tenta as a columnist back in the day as well.

I'm going to go to Northcliffe House, find whichever temp/intern is in charge of uploading the wires to the site, and slap them back in time to January 2nd. ffs.

The Mongolian Stomper dead at 71. Bret Hart said he was the greatest wrestler of all-time in his book iirc.

Cadalack Ron, who made international headlines two years ago when he shot up during a rap battle, unsurprisingly dead now.

Didn't know a guy could have an Elektra complex

Vampiro also claims to be permanently haunted by the spirits of two murdered men who happened to be walking by when he was conducting a satanic ritual, I wouldn't put too much faith into anything that comes out of his mouth.

Official thread for you to list those picks you dropped at the final minute in the 2015 DDP. You will not be allowed to complain "I nearly nearly picked him!" in any threads after someone dies unless you mention them specifically in here. I'll open with two big, big names: Phil Taylor's mum and Thibaut Courtois's dad.

The whole farrago is kind of reminiscent of the movie "Iris", except without Kate Winslet's tits.

The US classifies anyone in active service up to 24 July 1947 as a WW2 veteran, which fudges matters a bit.

eBay that shit man.

Why not an Italian, it's not as if we exerted any particular energy during World War II so our vets should be fit and fighting way up to 120.

Would have been funnier (funny) if you'd mentioned his company was called Koc Holding.

Yeah, if it took a "week to find his body" he had to have been dead in 2015. Otherwise we could just have Richey Edwards and Glenn Miller as DDP picks.

Are we starting a pedant's corner for the DDP now? Because if so, I'd like to point out it was Hassan Asif's mother who was denied a visa, not Hassan himself.
