    Death In The Family

    Not in the hospitals. Mrs msc was marked as a mature parent when the wean was born and she was 30 at the time. I asked if that made me an immature parent.

    Wrestlers/actors

    Well said, mysterious stranger. I did speak to Willz at the time but forgot to say in thread it was a cuntish comment. Which it is.

    Kim Jong-Un

    Aha. Now you say that, it does make sense but I am useless at detecting these new accounts. One of my all time favourite inept DL posts, that one.

    Tom Baker

    Aye. That's what I said! Well, clearly me and succinct replies don't work.

    Kim Jong-Un

    Yes, but they did that in 2013 or 2014 iirc so the points stay in 2012!

    Football

    Thistle are in the neverland of being relegated thanks to every other team in the league having played more games, but maybe not relegated because of league restructure. So I haven't a clue what league we're on, or what effect it'll have on the finances. Presumably no great.

    Typecasting in the UK tends to be overblown anyhow. Folk who have a huge role and then struggle tend to be due to ill health, having an ego the size of a planet and burning all your bridges for a decade+, or being over-promoted in the first place. And of all the actors to play Doctor Who, the 3 who didn't go onto bigger things afterwards - Hartnell, Tom Baker, Colin Baker - each fit those three things, respectively.

    Magicians And Hypnotists

    Speaking as someone who has suffered LOTL picks this way, Most does not equal Always! Anyhow when we said regional ITV allowed, UTV and STV were implied so after this was brought up it was made official.

    Kim Jong-Un

    Usually this is spotted. There was an odd case years ago where someone got points in the DDP on the basis of a hoax obituary the Telegraph fell for, on a silent film actress who had actually died over 20 years earlier off the radar.

    Kim Jong-Un

    It deserves a round of applause. Dead? Kim Jong Un Dead Alive? Kim Jong Undead. Its a hashtag which works no matter the story.

    All these sources but I think we need to hear from @Gooseberry Crumble here to be sure either way...

    Assassins just aren't what they used to be these days... Assassins too pricey for the US economy, I see.

    Kim Jong-Un

    Jong-un was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to "Alive."

    Geoffrey Palmer

    Here's the Oldie interview with him from his 90th in 2017 - was still getting out, fishing, etc. Although I'm a fan of his so hopefully he doesn't fall foul of the curse of Paul Bearer's Threads...

    They kept Ronnie Corbett's fall in though! Good old Ronnie.

    I wont bore you on the details of the show itself (I think our respective view points are known!). Just to use this to correct the post you replied to: Ecclestone DID offer his services because he thought it'd be a good role (which it is for actors - big role on BBC1 and it gets you other work) - but he fell out with the producer who went to Corrie and fucked off everyone there too. This happens ALL THE TIME behind the scenes on TV, but it was a bigger deal here because Dr Who fans. And a bigger deal for Ecclestone because it ended his long friendship with Russell T Davies. The "he doesn't want to talk to fans" thing is a load of bollocks. He's done a whole lot of fan appearances, is known to be good with child fans, done the whole convention and interview thing (more so in recent years). Hes made it clear its a professional/personal thing and he doesn't blame random no name fans. Just people take things personally. He was asked about the 50th anniversary show but he wanted to see a script which didn't exist so he said he wasn't interested. Which isn't a knock on Steven Moffat as with Sherlock too he had about 9 scripts to knock off in 6 months so was waiting till he knew who was on board rather than need to rewrite the entire thing. Just two different ways to doing TV things that didn't work out together, no conspiracy. Anyhow, he's always struck me on TV as an actor who doesn't like to dwell on past roles, and is somewhat surprised when people enthuse about decades old things! Our Friends in the North, that was a good one. Right, as you were, then.

    Surprised Anne Robinson has outlived her tbh.

    Peter Kay

    Here's the video to save people looking through the 3 hour show: I concur with the general opinion - he is clearly an unwell man.

    Tom Baker

    Yeah, he left over a disagreement with one crap director, at least one other person, and a temperamental producer, and he's still quite clearly fucked off by the BBC closing ranks when he got sacked off the show. Obviously I don't think Tom is snuffing it in the next week (well, I hope he doesn't) but he made a rare TV appearance and I was surprised he didn't have a thread of his own despite being a huge British icon. So now he does.

    That was McCoy actually looking better than when I saw him 7 years ago! Although he had bad gout issues back then.

    I know Vin Scully because whenever the Simpsons used to do commentary voices they'd always try and riff on Vin Scully. Genuinely about 99% of American pop culture from before 2000 that I know is thanks to that show!

    Derby Dead Pool 2020

    Team didn't provide subs, didn't reply to emails asking for subs, and the entire website crashed with 19 picks on the team. The system was VERY temperamental this time round and in the end Reptile sat in a darkened room for a week and fixed several hundred bugs single handed until the website worked!

    Damn. Was one of those cases that just kept getting cancer and recovering it was hard to see which ones were more severe cases!
