Imelda

Got players starting to croak from my first Panini album, which is an unfortunate life notch. A nice guy from the accounts I've seen.

He is regularly alluded to in Popbitch and similar. Feels like there are a fair few stories yet to see the light of day.

Paul Canoville, who became the first black footballer to play for Chelsea in 1982, is critically ill in hospital after complications from emergency surgery https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12207342/paul-canoville-former-chelsea-winger-critically-ill-in-hospital

A Steve Irwin award, done-in by what made him famous.

Been wracking my brains to work out who he reminded of over the last day or two...

Andrew Ridgeley on the right!

Suppose I should put mine in here then 1 Aday, Lee Marvin (Meatloaf) 2 Alagiah, George 3 Ali Khamenei, Ayatollah 4 Barker, Bob 5 Benedict XVI, Pope 6 Carter, Jimmy 7 Clinton, Bill 8 Cooke, Sidney 9 Crosby, David 10 Davies, Dai 11 Doherty, Shannen 12 Dole, Bob 13 Gilbert, Greg 14 Glock, Gaston 15 Gorbachev, Mikhail 16 Greaves, Jimmy 17 Halvorsen, Gail 18 Harding, Sarah 19 Hemingway, Flying Officer John 20 Hunt, Marsha 21 Kay, Peter 22 King, Larry 23 Kumar, Dilip 24 Limbaugh, Rush 25 Lloyd, Norman 26 MacGowan, Shane 27 Maxwell, Ghislaine 28 Menem, Carlos 29 Moore, Captain Tom 30 Muller, Gerd 31 Nelson, Willie 32 Nichols, Nicelle 33 Nolan, Linda 34 Ono, Yoko 35 Parker, Tom 36 Phillip, Prince 37 Phillips, Leslie 38 Poitier, Sidney 39 Sansom, Kenny 40 Saweard, Lesley 41 Scales, Prunella 42 Schulz, George 43 Seeler, Uwe 44 Simonot, Renee 45 Smith, Tom 46 Spinks, Leon 47 Turnbull, Bill 48 Weir, Doddie 49 Whale, James 50 Williams, Frank 

Well there's no doubt that Bobby's got his dad's genes - what a spitting image.

I really hope that one of the main channels has the gumption to carry on with the 7-Up series until there's nobody left either willing/able to particpate or alive. It's a huge achievement in TV, another British classic from the days of visonary programming where content and idealism were considered ideal for prime time audiences - who were not treated like dribbling cretins.

On a segue, he gets a lot of unjustified stick (from 'trendy' white people, it has to be said - a lot of black folks seem to be much more appreciative of his solo music, irony of ironies). The following episode of This American Life (Dr Phil) is a wonderful listen, a girl writes a song about her break-up and gets to speak to PC about what he thinks of her effort; he comes out really well, no superstar bullshit and seems like a genuinely self-effacing good guy - https://www.thisamericanlife.org/339/break-up

That's two of three originals gone crackers then. Siobhan, the ginger lass - IIRC the tale - had a breakdown during a gig and escaped via climbing out of the window in the ladies loo and scampering off into the night. Even if that isn't true, it's still a great story...

More like Israel bombing the bejezsus out of Iranian military and nuclear facilities in the next few days with Trump's support as a final 'fuck you' to the mullahs. Let's see.

Rome would. And that's where old Popey lives, of course.

Here's mine. What's brown and rhymes with Snoop?

A shame, that - always been a (spending money in their shops) fan of theirs, as has the missus. Unfortunately their business model is based on numerous small scale physical purchases, which don't work online - they should have got on the Moonpig bandwagon years ago to stave that off. Another source of humorous but not tacky/smutty cards gone.

With some simple lifestyle changes and a bit of management she'll be fine. My nan had it for years and bar it being a nasty PITA, it's just another old age ailment - better that than cancer. I assume you mean 'kill' in the figuartive sense, here...

"Colin Bell end", as my MUFC chum just commented. Made me chuckle, anyway.

He'll obit in the UK because of his spunky backpack, if nothing else. Anyway, there's a thread for him here -

I'll go for 27, just so the Committee can spite us.

Ferry Cross the Styx

Byeeee!

You're most welcome. Let's see how right you are in 2022 then...

To be fair I omitted him from DDP, just to get the average age down a bit. Got him in my Shadow 50 though!

35 then, just because it's full of codgers and therefore statistically likely to be a high yield. And also because you other cuntos have swiped the other numbers. My fault for having a massive lie-in.
