Imelda

To be fair, banging out the classic C4 logo (which will always be associated as the premiere ident in our lifetimes) and the rather gorgeous BBC2 early-mid 90's idents does give him a certain elevated status in the British TV world - we were all reguarly exposed to his work. If Last Word was a TV medium, he'd certainly get a slot.

You should be just as irate with the posh boy dum-dums who let him do it. Upper-class nepotism in their being in jobs of any genuine responsibility. If any bank deserved to get Leesoned, Barings was most certainly it.

Funny, I'd never heard of her, nor recognised her. Neither had any of the people I had a beer with this evening either. She's getting pretty major coverage on the BBC. Maybe they all know her pater?

He looks like the nutter at the bus stop that starts chatting to you and you can't get away.

Ahhh - so that article also explains part of the reason for there being a massive breakdown between the Italian team and the Italian press during the 82 WC. Cheers.

Private Eye have been banging on about this for years. AbA pretty certainly got a miscarriage of justice. There's been some systemic covering-up over the years, so I'm not hopeful that this goes anywhere. Too many people still alive who are implicated.

Errm, that's a new one on me. Is this one of those 'of course everyone knows about it' type of stories or was it actually reported somewhere?

Thank you!

Harsh but fair, for a bunch of sqauwkers who had a brief burst of fame in the early 80's and then a bit of a run off a tragic TV show in the 00's they have outsized media coverage. Their agent is a genius.

Down to 20 units a day then!

I'm not quite sure what this means; 10. To keep to the Deathlist spirit, only the top 25 ranked celebrites from the current list of Crowdsourced Deathlist 2020 survivors will be used: Alex Trebek, Prince Philip, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, Mikhail Gorbachev, George Alagiah, David Gulpilil, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Beverly Cleary, Betty White, Henry Kissinger, Leslie Phillips, Bob Barker, Glynis Johns, Larry King, Rosalynn Carter, Sidney Poitier, Pope Benedict, Dilip Kumar, Tom Smith, Willie Nelson, Harry Reid, Lata Mangeshkar, Joanne Woodward, Jimmy Greaves, Prunella Scales, Eva Marie Saint, Clarissa Eden, Desmond Tutu I'm struggling to understand what you're getting at here. I have a list ready to go but this rule is confusing me. Me being dim I guess. What do I have to do with them?

He seems like a good bet for Last Word, if they have a quieter week in the month or so.

Will the SNP hold their council seat in Malibu South now there's going to be a by-election?

Last one standing? Straight shoot-out between Cohen and Hurst I'd imagine.

An incredible song - and didn't even break the Top 40; what were the Great British Public (c) thinking back then?? Again, thanks for these lists @Ulitzer95 I'm getting so much out of them via the links.

Fair enough.

Up to 19 on the Shadow List, 5/10 on the Nags Dead Pool (someone is on six though!) it's shaping up to be quite the year for a lot of long-time picks to depart. If Phil the Greek goes, then it's been the biggest clear-out I can think of since joining in a good few years ago.

I'm almost thankful he's off the list now, pointless pick.

The same Phil Gould as in Level 42? Indeed, along with sort-of-but-not-officially member Wally Baradou. What an eclectic line-up!

I made it too easy. Tougher next time!

UK top 10 hit from the 1980's. The group is named after a Steely Dan track The song was written about Maria McKee The female singer is a raincoat

Saw them at Wembley Arena in 2009 (me and my mate were possibly the only straight guys there who weren't in the 'dad with kids' category) and have most of their singles. TBH it's more that I love Xenomania and GA were the perfect outlet for them - great pop music!

Ron Jeremy, probably the most famous porn star still alive, is facing a new barrage of rape claims https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/31/ron-jeremy-adult-film-star-rape-sexual-assault-charges He's 67. Might be worth longlisting.
