So he bucked his life expectancy when he turned 50. Also, it was the media claiming it so it must be true... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why subs are a very useful thing if you have a fringey acceptance pick in the team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,304 Posted January 1, 2021 New names for Decaying Orbit-uaries: Story Musgrave (the sub promoted upon Arnold Wolfendale's death), Tom Stafford, Carolyn Shoemaker. Lovelock now the joker. And the second and final entry of my Jeopardy namechecks theme team. If Johnny Gilbert survives to 2022, I'm gonna start picking him on TJS.

I kept Jenkins because she's also an International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness competitor, so not the proverbial cancer mum. But, I will understand a decision for substitution on the pick if deemed invalid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
