"Very influential writer and philosopher adored by the right ( well the traditionalist right) and loathed by the left." No one has replaced "The Special One" in my heart these last few years......could this be the guy ? I need to read up on him

Does he look THAT bad though ? Smiling away....knocking back the fizz.....at least he is getting out and about....

Found it....a bit like not seeing a life long friend for years

Greetings DDT . To be honest....when the love of my life sadly passed (was it REALLY over six years ago ?) , my heart wasn't in the game anymore. But after a suitable period of mourning I feel able to face this awful world that has simply continued to drift on down-hill....If only she was still with us. I am looking forward to posting in what is still surely the most popular thread....when Richard had a home visit a few months ago from Duchess Meghan...didn't he look well

Greetings. After a short retirement (due to a change in e mail address....whatever happened to "freeserve" eh ? ) , I hope I can enter next year ? Glad to see most of the "old-timers" appear to still be active pickers....

I should wade through all this afternoons posts...but my heart isnt in it...Im too upset . Just ....for all those drinking a drink in "celebration"....you should feel blessed to have the cash with which to buy said drinks....Thatcherite economics made you wealthy...NEVER forget that . RIP......The Special One.....

Well...I suppose I might if the Daily Mail repeats those ridiculous allegations that I was Margaret's secret lover at the time of the Miners Strike......

changing subject a little... whats the point in submitting a theme team ? A theme team will never win...it should have its own separate tourney ? Just wondering what every ones view is (I have a few hours to submit my disabled poker player team )

I had to pass on Bob Welch a couple of times I think :-)

Lord above...was she still around ?

First time - 96 seconds, but my mind was wandering a bit. I think someone could do it in under a minute. 121 seconds....I was pleased to get them all right !

Got a hangover Lord FN?

My super sub is now John Edrich (keeping with the cricketing theme )

Watched a very enjoyable prog last night on the BBC about Stirling Moss . Was it a repeat ?...dunno when it was filmed...but Id give the Great Man at least another 10 years....cracking bloke !

I think its amazing how everyone jumps on the bandwagon..... "Oh....She must have been a bad person....cos the lefties say so..." "Im gonna dance on her grave" ...etc...... Fortunately......the cognoscenti have always understood.....

ahhh...such a radical and forward thinker was Our Special Lady . Many years ahead of Her Time . Which bits in the Guardian article do you not understand? a) making the rich that can afford to pay for things do exactly that? b ) those who cant afford it would be helped? If only She still had hold of the reigns....we wouldnt be awash with Welfare spongers and free-loaders...and the economy would still be right on track... God Bless Her.......I feel a Hymn coming on.......

He was at the back of a VERY long queue of admirers......

so wrong....so...so wrong

You score 10000000000 points if you spot someone posting about her in the wrong thread. I win. My point is...She is in EVERY thread....

I score 1 point.....a mention of The Special One ...in an unrelated thread

Best of luck celebrating....I hope old age wont have caught up with you...cos we are talking about MANY years in the future

you can make it 200 points..cos it wont happen

can we close his thread? this is my 2013 Joker we are talking about

Ronnie Wood is a poor pick...and as for picking Maggie?...Lord Above....no way
