Michael Gambon a hit for me here

Following the death of Michael Gambon I have updated the ten earliest winners of the Evening Standard Theatre award for Best Actor 1980 Tom Courtenay 1983 Derek Jacobi 1984 Ian McKellen 1998 Kevin Spacey 1999 Stephen Dillane 2000 Simon Russell Beale 2001 Alex Jennings 2003 Michael Sheen 2006 Rufus Sewell 2007 Patrick Stewart Michael Gambon won in 1987 and 1995 which still leaves the three earlier winners from the eighties followed by the much younger winners in the late ninties and early noughties. However, the new addition to the list is the veteran RSC performer Patrick Stewart who would probably be considered alongside the top 3 in terms of potential longevity rather than the other six

Was watching his episode of B5 the other night. I thought William Russell would go before him from The Great Escape

and Vienna was my No.11 Won't get any more of these until we hit the Top six as there are five tracks still in play that I placed lower than Vienna

Seven of the Top 10 are in my Top 10

Finished 12th and was 12th on my final 25 list Only six of my top 10 remain

They has a game with Luton postponed on the second weekend and if you predict they win that they would be currently level on points with Everton and Wolves and one point ahead of Bournemouth

The three teams at the bottom of the Premiership after this weeks games are the three promoted teams so the SUFC board can't be looking round and saying things like well Luton are doing fine why aren't we? I think if they start losing against their relegation rivals then it would be a different matter (when do they play Chelsea?)

There may be a radio edit Later there is the line l'm packing plastic and that is why my Life's so ****** fantastic. The version on my ipod is from a frpm a NOW album and it dings out the obvious swearing

As this goes on there is more of a need to get in early for each round

Absolutely love the line I want loads of clothes and I want loads of diamonds, I hear people die while they're trying to find em
