If anyone hasn't yet checked out "Elizabeth is Missing " (available on BBC iPlayer) , this is a wonderful insight into Alzheimers . 2020 BAFTA gong assured for Glenda. Now I know she was acting.....and she is "only" 83....but she gives such a convincing performance that you have to wonder...? Anyway...a few players pick her every year.....and it may well be worth keeping an eye out when she collects the gong on Feb 2nd ?

Fingers crossed for my toss , and team submitted accordingly

Top guy...deserves a thread .

Blimey...as a West Ham fan I remember this guy . Very sad .

Well...I have four daughters...and I would do anything for them .

The book is brilliant (gets a bit cry baby political at the end...."oh...how bad are the Tories...its all Thatchers fault etc etc " ) , but I think the TV series could have been better . I thought the gay TV storyline (which isn't in the book) simply got in the way of an otherwise potential comic masterpiece .

Just come back from our local pub that is planning LOADS of activities over this two day bank holiday celebration. All sorts of stuff . Obviously big business (pubs) cant predict the future...but can you REALLY envisage a scenario where Liz doesnt make it ? And make many months to come after ?

Is it winning awards ? But at least FINALLY someone on this thread has mentioned something worth going to see.

I suppose the good thing about all this (for me personally) is that it prompts research into the likely successor . Sunak appears nailed on . I knew he was a multi billionaire with many houses and no concern towards anyone in need ( so that IS a small worry ) ....but I didn't know he was tee-total . Not sure that makes him ideal to move into Number Ten ? Even Margaret (The Special One) had the odd wee dram ?

Not sure I 100% agree . At least he is capable of getting out of the house .

Simply awesome in "Carrie"...which was VERY scary back in the day.....

This is indeed a slightly strange thread which is possibly off topic ( dead stuff ) . However....his red face is becoming more red with every passing day of BJ antics . A week or so ago I would have laughed at the prospect of any Labour politician taking the ultimate office , let alone this muppet . But it would appear that this chap may have a slim chance . If so....he is a heart attack waiting to happen....I hope he gets his blood pressure checked every week ?

Well...lets be honest....there is nobody who could ever follow "The Special One" . Its simply impossible . I still miss her dreadfully....she did so much for this country through simple hard work and compassion for everyone. BJ is simply a child of Thatcher's time who has failed to understand . As is pretty much 99% of all politicians today to be honest . Is there ANYONE around at the moment who anybody could trust ?

Willing to give it another go.....

sorry....am I missing this...? Tomorrow is "Richard O Sullivan day " ? ? Well....I'm staying up until one minute past mid-night...to : a) watch us get thrashed by the Aussies... b) raise a glass to "The Man"

Obviously I would not wish to be accused of "nudging" an individual thread . It's just that I feel that there are two threads that are simply sacred. The Special One (whose name needs to be whispered in awe...oh how I miss her) .....and of course Richard.....

His 77th birthday needs to be celebrated here(not on a "sundry birthday " thread of the not so famous . ) Don't you youngsters know anything?

oh wot???...this is my sort of competition . My list of 90 + year old chess playing Nazis is safe....

give me an easy draw though eh ?.....Ive been a bit distracted recently .

hmm....I wonder if TTT is a fellow chess player ?...we need to keep this thread popular next year

oh....go on then....

Coach of Nigel Short in the past...so surely will get an obit . Ive spent the last week or so researching my favorite sport . I may well finally lose my DDP Theme cherry in 2022.....but Kavalek was well off the radar to be honest...

Im not saying he wasn't an awesome star....but did he not fall on hard times? Does anyone think he has millions stashed away in bank accounts?

Im guessing his standard of care re Covid 19 is better than in most care homes?

I think I can cope with that
