tamthebam Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Francois Leterrier at 91. French film actor and director. I just mention him because he starred in a 1956 film by Robert Bresson called "A man escaped" which was a favourite of a French speaking St Johnstone supporting pal of mine at school. I went to see it at the Filmhouse years ago and it was indeed a cracking film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Week 48 update If I hadn't been to Asda this morning we'd have missed this week's one death, golf commentator man Peter Alliss: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/55204070 Quote Alliss, known as 'the voice of golf' to fans around the world, has been synonymous with the BBC's golf coverage for more than half a century. Having first appeared on the BBC in 1961, he was made lead golf commentator in 1978 after retiring as a player. "It is with great sadness we announce the passing of golfing and broadcast legend Peter Alliss," said Alliss' family. In a statement, they described his death as "unexpected but peaceful". They added: "Peter was a devoted husband, father and grandfather and his family ask for privacy at this difficult time." Alliss provided the soundtrack to many of golf's most memorable moments, with November's Masters the last tournament he covered. "Peter was the voice of golf. He was an absolute master of his craft with a unique ability to capture a moment with a magical turn of phrase that no one else could match," said Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport. As a player, Alliss won 31 tournaments and he and his father Percy were the first father-son duo to compete in the Ryder Cup, when it was a contest between Great Britain and the United States. In 2012, he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in the Lifetime Achievement category. The BBC link helpfully includes some of his most famous quotes: Quote "One of the good things about rain in Scotland is that most of it ends up as scotch." - on poor weather conditions during a tournament in Scotland. Boy, I've really missed out over the years. Alliss died at 89, so he's worth 36 Base Points. He was a Solo Shot for @Fuctifano for an extra 50 and since we're into Deadly December he gets an extra set of Base Points - 122 in total. As a result, the standings now look like this: 1.
