Joey Russ 7,225 Posted June 3, 2020 You’re telling me that folk like the Qatari journalist, the actor who made a very brief appearance in Miami Connection, and the grandmother of the late Prince Georg-Constantin of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach were never notable?

I’m stunned by that development really... At least the princess is safe. According to this list, she is the oldest verified living royal in Europe: http://www.royaltymonarchy.com/royfacts/longlives.html This makes her as notable as the "oldest member of the Lesothean parliament" or the "oldest claimants to be a father of Elvis Presley" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost a solo for me (You can say the same I reckon lol) Well, I wanted to fill the "glorified Beach Boys groupie" quota on my team, and John Stamos apparently stopped aging in the 19-freaking-80s so Foskett it is! Are there any recent health updates regarding him? Solo or not, if he survives 2020, then that's a wasted pick... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously they had 5 episodes on a week and its now down to 1! Forces TV is quite good - seen Sapphire and Steel and Randall and Hopkirk off it in the last year. And Space 1999, which was a bit dire. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
