Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 15, 2018 17 hours ago, drol said: No, but she is not the dead cert many think she is. She had part of the skull and a kidney removed, but they said she had 50/50 possibilities fifteen days ago. Then she remained critical but apparently stable and after her family's funeral her relatives switched life support off, presumably to end her sufferings. A day later they are at her bedside literally "waiting for a speedy recovery", like it was a cold. Don't know what to think, two days ago I was certain, now I'm just confused. Jessica just wants to spend a few days basking in the entirety of the family inheritance she has accumulated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 15, 2018 18 hours ago, Joey Russ said: Oh, I believe that she will die, as the reports are still saying critical. I think it took a couple of days with Bianchi before he died, so I wouldn’t eliminate her yet... Three weeks in fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted January 15, 2018 Not picked this year, shame as she would have been a nice lead name for my first ever update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,226 Posted January 15, 2018 By the looks of it, I’m guessing John Young will probably lead as of right now. Maybe Ray Thomas (I know he has been picked on at least one theme team), but I get the feeling that, if your waiting for an update in a few days, that a bigger name that is picked will headline...

Unless you prefer Bastard? "Bastard" is what I call him when I see his team has beaten mine yet again. Could you check if Drop Dead Celebration picked France Gall please? If so, she is getting denounced as my sister and will receive a very *very* hard slap next time she's in the UK as she knows how much I adored France Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,442 Posted January 19, 2018 When I picked folklorist, author, ghost buster and narrator of Welsh kids shows, the Rev J Aelwyn Roberts, for the 2018 DDP, I thought this might bring more attention to him over the course of the year and see him picked more often in the DDP. Part of my "promote obscure but interesting" people agenda. Alas, he's completely blown his end of the deal by dying aged 99. List of the Lost obviously, died on the 11th and only one obit from BBC Wales. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
