The playwright Willy Russell is still going strong though. 7 minutes ago, Sir Creep said: Russell is arguably the best basketball player ever. After a quick search, I can't find anything disqualifying him on a health basis (but that doesn't mean there isn't one), but even then he's going to lose on the fame basis. I don't pretend to know much about basketball, but anyone pre-Michael Jordan/Magic Johnson doesn't have the same profile in the UK. Look at it this way: who would you expect the average person to be more familiar with? Ted Turner or Bill Russell? Since Turner failed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say your most left-field choice was Tony Blair! Oh, and kudos on Baggott - he's been a walking heart attack since Flog It started - how is he still going?!

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 12, 2020 I actually don’t know who Bill Russell is, so I can see why he was DQ’d. Although given that he has an H by his name, I imagine Quim has some health reasons for why he ended up being DQ’d.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,741 Posted November 12, 2020 13 minutes ago, Sir Creep said: Bill Russell was ok by fame standards, I mean beyond Toast’s household. We were told he was a health exclusion. I’ll wait. Bill Russell: An American basketball star. A sport with practically zero impact nationally in the UK and no tv presence. Jenny Craig: An American Company founded by an Australian. quote from wiki "The company has more than 700 weight management centers in Australia, the United States, Canada, and New Zealand" So, no presence at all in the UK according to that. Why should Toasty know it? Why this assumption anyone in the UK should know either of these without looking them up? Please quit calling people stupid or worse for not conforming to your clearly US centric view of the world. Doing my best to be polite here, that may not last.

Coltrane has looked like a walking heart attack for years, he's since been promoted to main teams. Black, Glockler and Luscombe all dropped out of tours citing various ailments, none obviously terminal but they weren't well. Culkin looked very ill and malnourished at the time, and Blair also started to look aged and unhealthy around then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to counter some of the 'nays' and show it's not some sort of conspiracy to deny you, I'll stick my hand up and say that {unlike Bill Russell) I have heard of Jenny Craig. Only in the context of 'The Jenny Craig Diet' but I know it's a thing. But looking at the yeas to nays it's not difficult to see her failing to get the required majority.

You should be ashamed of your overall youthful ignorance you impute to people twice your age. You’ve proven one of the dumbest members of this site. Congrats. As for Russell, feel free to post a link that disqualifies him pursuant to your rules for all to see. He was hospitalised for DEHYDRATION in May 2018. That’s it. Post your proof cunto in the space provided below: ______________. I take it you won’t be providing me with any subs? I found something to say Russell had a heart attack in 2018 but I’ll double check my sources. In any case, I doubt he’d pass the fame threshold anyway. When I checked Jenny Craig, everything was about the company, not the person, so she fails. Doesn’t matter anyway though, as this deadpool has been condemned by Emperor Creepybollocks III so it’s obviously pointless to keep it going I have entries to read when I get home. Creep, either join in (and stop whinging) or don’t (and stop whinging). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,386 Posted November 12, 2020 Okay, okay, Russell was admitted to hospital with ‘heart trouble’, so technically may not be a breach of the rules (just the spirit of them). I’ll allow Bill Russell again. Except I won’t, because no fucker knows him. Oh dear. So unfair, isn’t it? Another couple of blinding entries, both from American friends of ours. So regarding Creep, as we all know, it’s not the country, just the cunt. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
