Right, with Time's promoting I'll try here.

 

I know we have at least one swede on here but I'm not sure about Norwegians.

 

After yet another gubbing at Parkhead last night, I remembered from my yoof about another Norwegian who had scored there @'72/3, although this time it was during a pummeling by the hoops.

 

After a quick check I got the name, Bjorn Wirkola, and that he is still alive.

 

The reason he had stuck in my mind over the decades, was that he was a former World Champion ski jumper before going full-time footballer at around 30 ( multi sports was common back then due to a summer football league).

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjørn_Wirkola

 

In his 70's now, I'm sure he'd get a UK obit, so I'm looking for any health info.

 

Just a personal sort of thing/ deadpooling combo....

Charon, Bjørn Wirkola revealed a couple of years ago (in 2012, I think) that he has a mild case of Parkinson's disease, for which he takes medication daily.

Bing is only a search engine though, not a browser.

 

Or are they doing one?

I'm planning to enter the DDP for the first time next year with a theme team about people with cancer.

 

I want a funny/interesting name but I don't want it to be cruel to people with cancer.

 

So far my best idea is probably "Yes We Cancer".

 

Does anybody have any ideas? I could you some help.

You may want to reduce that to a type of cancer seeing as 50% of the deaths are cancer related just my $0.02. You'll end up with all the same names as everyone's main list IMHO. I like the name you posted.

"Yes We Can, Sir" or

 

"The Sign Of The Crab"

My favourite DDP team name this year is "Finding Chemo"... it's not a cancer theme team, though.

Subtlety can be the most annoying thing ever when you don't get it.

(That's probably another reason why Halibuts are so angry most of the time.)

 

Maybe more people should stop doing lame hinty subtly things and just come up with a basic in your face team name like I have. I don't want to flick through the team listing and just see obscure things like that, or team names that are just quotes from films or TV shows. If you want the DDP to sound like a bunch of annoying Monty Python nerds sitting around making obscure references to sketches, keep doing that. Whoever made the "Poochie Died on The Way Back to His Home Planet" team should take a different leaf from the Simpsons book and ask themselves if they've accidentally become like the nerds from Homer Goes to College. That Animal House quote one is dreadful too.

Zorders, calm down - most DDP team names aren't that subtle.

 

Also Morbidkid there's already a thread for suggesting DDP team names.

Did you actually just bother saying that?

 

Anyway, I wasn't saying all the team names are "subtle" or that they have to be "subtle" to be annoying. There's plenty of annoying team names and I'll get annoyed at what I want to get annoyed about you ["insult" removed, not cos it wasnt true but just cause I got naturally angry about the retarded events in Paris so maybe I said more than I would have normally said]

It's not in the Morrissey thread, but I'm sure somewhere there's a list of the Smiths covers and the people on them that are now dead.

 

Anyone point me in the right direction ?
