time 8,579 Posted March 3, 2010 Well, at long last. My first point in Wormfood Bingo for this year, and my first ever hit in the DDP! RIP Mr Foot - may you and your donkey jacket rest in peace. Mine too - I'd forgotten I'd picked him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted March 3, 2010 Out of interest, how come Salinger gets a picture from when he was famous, but poor Michael gets a photo from just after he died? Salinger was pretty much a recluse. Do any later photographs of him exist? Generally I veer towards the death's door picture if it's available but, as Dr Hack points out, there are very few Salinger pics out there and certainly no recentish ones.

Phantom 2,531 Posted March 3, 2010 I'd been picking him each year for the past 7 years, purely as a formality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madcow 6 Posted March 4, 2010 Out of interest, how come Salinger gets a picture from when he was famous, but poor Michael gets a photo from just after he died? Salinger was pretty much a recluse.

Generally I veer towards the death's door picture if it's available but, as Dr Hack points out, there are very few Salinger pics out there and certainly no recentish ones. I find myself hoping that somone else carks fairly soon so I don't have to look at that photo every time I log on. I have to say that, even though Mr Foot would never ever have appeared on my 'shag list', that is a really nasty photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falkekopf 50 Posted March 18, 2010 Sometime in the 70s Michael Foot was given the job of chairing a review of weapons and equipment for the armed forces. One newspaper had as it's headline, 'Foot heads arms body'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
