Waiting for Spurs to win a trophy, like waiting for a train in a closed station where all the tracks have been ripped up

This is the source Wikipedia is using which is a fandom site which puts us into a similar situation with Thomas P. Stafford where the news was broke by a space fan site
I am inclined to believe this is true as he was reportedly suffering from Parkinson's
There are three older Hugo winners left (Larry Niven, Joe Haldeman & C J Cherryh) and Connie Willis now makes it onto the top ten earliest winners surviving (Vernor Vinge was at No.10)

17 minutes ago, Comped said:A space autograph/memorabilia collector's website being the one to often break the news of astronaut deaths has always been very odd to me.
There seems to be a lot of local Oklahoma based news journalists and networks carrying the story on Twitter but nothing national

4 minutes ago, TQR said:LOLLLLLL The Express are saying Dr Death will be out in two weeks and Grant Shapps/Sebastian Fox/Michael Green/Corinne Stockheath has loads of supporters backing him for the leadership.
Imagine that. Little Billy Ten Names being Prime Minister (briefly). What a great idea.
Every name they come up with has so much baggage and is a field day for their opponents. The only way this is going to end is in a General Election and then leave it up to the rump of Conservative MPs left in parliament to decide who will lead them

How long will this run for?
A set time or until a score milestone is reached (500 points?)

With the prospect of a Doctor Who double bill on TV immediately before the ESC and the second episode is the only one we have a title for The Devil's Chord which might suggest it is the one with Jinx Monsoon in could end up with Ollie Alexander representing the UK at Eurovision as being only the second campest thing on TV that day.

No it will be the night before Eurovision because the broadcast will be immediately before the contest

10 hours ago, RoverAndOut said:If it's not May, it won't be June. September, October is my guess, they'll do it before the clocks go back.
I saw the date of 10th Occtober quoted which will need to be called by 5th September
Should make for a frenzied conference season
Will we have had the next DL hit before then?

9 minutes ago, Commtech Sio Bibble said:So the new series will be released May 11th, before Eurovison, with a 2 episode premier. However the episodes will be released on iPlayer at midnight the same day (and the equivalent time on Disney+ worldwide). Press Release.
I'm not a fan of this for multiple reasons,
1. If you want to avoid spoilers you will either have to avoid social media all day or watch the episodes at midnight.
2. A 2 episode premier will make the already decreased episode count feel even shorter.
3. Less people will watch live, and it could damage that traditional 'family viewing' that the show thrives on, let alone the loss of the 'event television'.
4. Global simultaneous release feels unfair for the UK as we have to stay up late whereas for example America gets it midway through the day.
The Five Doctors was broadcast in the US two days before it was aired in the UK
The television landscape is constantly changing and many series are now releasing in batches or at different times
Casual viewers will probably still watch on linear broadcast
If you are asleep at midnight. How different would it be if you watched it when you got up on the Saturday morning are you worried your friends are going to telepathically invade your dreams with major spoilers?
The BBC will keep the situation under review. They altered the way The Traitors most recent series was released because of real risk of spoilers
I think the only people who are complaining are those who want to be the first to spoiler it for other people on social media

I think we might be heading into a lull here because I think it is now too late to change your manager to make a real impact and change direction. When relegations and playoff misses become concrete we will probably see some more action

The irony about this is that he was replaced on Mic by Chris Evans who used to be a regular no-show when he had the Radio 1 Breakfast show (for possibly similar reasons)

No-one seems to be dying so I have decided to create a list
Ten Earliest Winners of the Edger Allen Poe Award for Best Mystery Novel as awarded by the Mystery Writers of America
1972 Frederick Forsyth (b.1938)
1979 Ken Follett (b. 1949)
1982 William Bayer (b. 1939)
1988 Aaron Elkins (b. 1935)
1990 James Lee Burke (b.1936)
1991 Julie Smith (b.1944)

All the winners since 2000 are still with us with the exception of Mo Hayder (2012) which is the pen name of former model Candy Davis who played Miss Belfridge in Are You Being Served? and was briefly married to actor Gary Olsen

Another no show on his TalkSport show this morning - Possibly been enjoying the Cheltenham Festival a little too much
