Bully Wee Villa Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Yeah, think I had him mixed up with Johnny Thunders. Was surprised to see they were still releasing new albums in the 2000s, albeit obviously not the original lineup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Week 3 update An interesting week this week as we technically have two deaths. Up first was former cricket man Donald Smith: Don Smith: England's oldest living male Test cricketer dies aged 97 - BBC Sport Quote England's oldest living male Test cricketer Don Smith has died aged 97, his former county Sussex have confirmed. Smith played three Tests against the West Indies in 1957 and had a spell as Sri Lanka coach in 1984 before retiring to Australia with his wife Lyn. He passed away peacefully at his home in Adelaide on Sunday. A left-handed opening batsman and medium pace bowler, he scored just under 17,000 runs and took 340 wickets in a 16-year first-class career. Smith was also the second oldest living Test player from any country, with South African all-rounder John Watkins two months older. After retiring from playing in 1962, he was also a cricket coach and groundsman at Lancing College in West Sussex for more than 20 years and played county league football before becoming a qualified referee. Smith died at 97 so he's worth 28 Base Points. He was a Solo Shot for @stanton so the bonus gets him 78 points total. =============================== Up next this week was former woman Julie Strain. There follows no link because there's no qualifying obituary for her. There's barely an obituary at all, the news seems to have been broken solely on blogging-type sites. She was Penthouse Pet of the Year in 1993: Julie Strain - Wikipedia She was a pick for @Arbroathlegend36-0 and @chomp my root. She's worth 67 Base Points, 25 extra for a Deadly Duo bonus and she's chompers' Vice-Captain for an extra 34 - except she's not getting anyone any points, currently. I'll keep checking (and I'm sure chomp my root will) but things aren't looking hopeful. This is a risk you take with obscure picks. Let this be a lesson for future entries. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. choirbairn 180 2. Ned Nederlander 122 3. Bishop Briggs 105 4. dee_62 101 5. Savage Henry 82 6. stanton 78 7. Everyone else 0 The spreadsheet has also been updated with these scores: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-OTo44wF_W7A4Q0NFnd1sX3qEDdxTLDobvjhhSgnzkg/edit?usp=sharing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I've been checking daily Miguel, to be honest I'm a bit surprised, I thought an august publication like The Mail was a cert for someone as salacious as Julie. You win some, you lose some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
