So many rappers constantly boast about guns and money yet people are surprised when they get shot. I'm not saying anyone deserves to die, but play stupid games and win stupid prizes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Word up. The guy who invented CTRL + X, CTRL + C and CTRL + V has left us. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-51567695 As someone who works with computers, I must use those shortcuts a thousand times a day and it's interesting to think how much time they save. Sadly, copy and paste is a concept that my dear Canadian auntie has failed to master, and I've witnessed her on more than one occasion manually type a massive website address to email to her friend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Week 8 update One death this week, former Manchester United goalkeeper Harry Gregg: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/17/harry-gregg-obituary Quote The footballer Harry Gregg, who has died aged 87, was one of the finest and bravest goalkeepers of his era and equally courageous away from the goalmouth. In particular he was a hero of the appalling Munich air crash of February 1958, when a plane carrying the Manchester United team back from Belgrade failed to clear the snowy runway after refuelling Having forced his way out of the wreckage – and ignoring a general order to run for cover to avoid a possible explosion – Gregg dived back into the burning debris to pull out a number of his fellow passengers. They included Vera Lukić, the pregnant wife of a Yugoslav diplomat, and her young daughter, Vesna – as well as the United players Albert Scanlon, Ray Wood, Jackie Blanchflower, Bobby Charlton and Dennis Viollet, the last two of whom he had to drag away, unconscious, by their trouser waistbands. All survived, although eight players were eventually among the dead. In the immediate aftermath of the crash, Gregg helped United to reach the 1958 FA Cup final with an ad hoc team, although to the dismay of the neutrals they lost 2-0 at Wembley to Bolton Wanderers. He had been back in goal just 13 days after the disaster, playing against Sheffield Wednesday in an earlier round of the FA Cup, and he soldiered on that season despite suffering severe headaches. Finally he asked to see a neurosurgeon, who told him he had a fractured skull. I went looking for a decent article about the disaster for you to read, but I think the best online option is the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_air_disaster It makes you wonder what would happen if a disaster like this happened today, with clubs and players worth so much more than they were back then. Hopefully we never have to find out. Gregg died at 87, so he's worth 38 points. He was picked by @101 and @Ben Twilly, so he gets the Deadly Duo bonus for an additional 25, for a total of 63 points.

Miguel Sanchez Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 While I'm here, an interesting thing has happened to one of @thistledo's picks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ibrahim_al-Hashimi_al-Qurashi https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/20/isis-leader-confirmed-amir-mohammed-abdul-rahman-al-mawli-al-salbi Quote The new leader of Islamic State has been confirmed as Amir Mohammed Abdul Rahman al-Mawli al-Salbi, according to officials from two intelligence services. He is one of the terror group’s founding members and has led the enslavement of Iraq’s Yazidi minority and has overseen operations around the globe. The Guardian has learned that Salbi was named leader hours after the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October. The name that the group gave for Baghdadi’s replacement at the time, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi, was a nom de guerre not recognised by other senior leaders or intelligence agencies. In the three months since the raid that killed Baghdadi, a fuller picture of Salbi has been pieced together by regional and western spies, placing him at the centre of Isis decision-making – and that of its forerunners – and portraying him as a hardened veteran in the same vein as Baghdadi, unflinching in his loyalty to the extremist group. If you can't trust a fanatical death cult to honestly report the names of their leaders, who can you trust? If this exceptionally angry looking man happens to die, it's the ISIS leader, even if the name is different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see organisations recognising talent and potential over tried and tested experience. Let's hope it all goes well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
