Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted December 28, 2018 Bob Hawke has announced his appearance at this year's Woodford Folk Festival will be his last. Looking terrible, so the Committee should definitely consider him as a last minute inclusion in the 2019 list, if they have not already pencilled him in. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-29/bob-hawke-reveals-terrible-health-labor-to-win-federal-election/10673364 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heef 166 Posted December 31, 2018 On 13/11/2018 at 09:48, Heef said: Cool. What's the best way to go about it. Anyone interested send me a list of 50 ANZAC celebs in some kind of order and I'll combine them together, resend the prioritised list together and we can debate any required adjustments? Sound reasonable? Anyone else keen to send me a list of 50 Australian and/or New Zealand celebs to compile into an "ANZAC List" should do so soon. I've only had two entries thus far, and that's probably not worth combining into a list! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 13, 2019 Another one for the 'healthiest DDP team ever' Tasmanian Governor Kate Warner went to see her doctor about a niggling pain in her hip and discovered she had non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Her Excellency confirmed her condition on Sunday morning, but assured Tasmanians she intended to keep working through her treatment. “I have been diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, and the good news is that this is very treatable and curable, although I will have to undergo a course of chemotherapy,” Her Excellency said. “I’m very hopeful that this won’t cause too much disruption to my role… I’m assured that, as I am fit and healthy otherwise, that I should respond well to the treatment and, hopefully, I will also tolerate it well,” she said. The diagnosis came after the Governor had an MRI and found she has a cracked hip. Oh how I LOVE when they say things like that! Tempt the Reaper, ma'am.
