  1. Week 49 update Three deaths this week. Up first, Formula One team boss Frank Williams: Sir Frank Williams obituary: A Formula 1 icon & one of greatest team owners - BBC Sport Here's a video tribute from the F1 youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfmfh4B84Ok I like waxing lyrical about sport in the old days whenever I get the opportunity here, and for all the money that's changed team sports, there's arguably no better example of this than the way motor racing has changed. Frank Williams started a team in the highest level of motorsport by just... starting it. He got a chassis and some parts and they raced. This is how it worked in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Nowadays you have the sport actively courting some of the biggest car manufacturers in the world trying to get them involved, you have annual budgets for a single car for a season amounting to 100,000,000 and more, and the sport is as impenetrable as it's ever been. Bernie Ecclestone said that Formula 1 wouldn't be the sport it is without Frank Williams' influence, and he's right. He is a quite literal example of something that will never happen again. Williams died at 79 so he's worth 46 Base Points for @psv_killie, @sleazy, @sparky88, @speckled tangerine and @The Master, with a Captain bonus for @D.V.T. giving 92 points. ======================== Second death this week was Australian actor David Gulpilil: David Gulpilil obituary: Walkabout star a ‘consummate actor’ who helped reinvent Australian film | Australia news | The Guardian As ever it's time to look at his filmography and see what I know him from. I've seen The Proposition, a long time ago. Don't remember a thing. The internet doesn't seem to know when Gulpilil was born, but Wikipedia says Local missionaries recorded his birth on 1 July 1953, based on "guesswork," so I'm going with that. This means he died at 68, making him worth 57 Base Points for @Bishop Briggs, @chomp my root and @thistledo, with a Captain bonus returning 114 points for @Arabdownunder. ======================== Final death this week was the German footballer Horst Eckel: Horst Eckel, last of the 1954 World Cup winners, dies... | Daily Mail Online Here's another nice quote about sport has changed over the years: Eckel died at 89, so he's worth 36 Base Points. He was a Solo Shot for @101 for an extra 50 and a Deadly December bonus for another set of Base Points takes him up to a total of 112 points. As a result of all this, the standings look like this: 1. Ned Nederlander 713 2. Bishop Briggs 481 3. psv_killie 459 4. Savage Henry 429 5. Fuctifano 420 6. chomp my root 346 7. Indale Winton 332 8. pub car king 301 9. Arch Stanton 270 10. sparky88 267 11.

  2. The Work is nice, even if I'd like Owl John and Mastersystem to be included in it. Aside from enjoying seeing how he worked out the final lyrics for certain songs, and realising I've had certain words wrong for years, it just makes me miss him.
  3. This track is horrible. Something bad is going to happen here tomorrow.
  4. So how was lamb, and in what format did it arrive? Steaks, which was cut up and put in a slow cooker. Not worth the price imo
  5. I honestly thought every adult male in the UK had tried a lamb doner kebab at some point. Never done that.
  6. I don't believe you. Well Currently knowingly eating lamb for the first time. Or I was. I'm done now.
  7. How is it possible to be in a coma and be that size afterwards?
  8. Imagine being away from P&B for that length of time and returning with this level of patter On a Friday night
  9. As detached from reality as that woman seems to be, none of the replies are any better. Perhaps someone could ask her why she thinks social distancing is in any way relevant and try to make her realise that it's pointless.
  10. Man here apparently in the habit of buying Mercedeses

  12. I don't know who any of these people are you're all posting pictures of and each new one I see makes me happier for that.
  13. How can you post disingenuous bullshit like this with a straight face? Even if you had a point - which you don't - your comparison to age certifications on films is completely meaningless. The reasons for objections to covid certifications have been posted at length on here by several people and go well beyond the time they happen or the amount of people they host. Age limits on products exist for a number of reasons for the benefit of those restricted, in the case of media because it contains content that children of certain ages aren't emotionally mature enough to understand and process. A concept which has literally nothing to do with any point you're trying to make. For all the talk of moonhowlers vs. bedwetters on this thread, I genuinely don't understand what you get out of this act you're playing here. I thought you were far too old and intelligent to spend as long on it as you have, but every now and then you make a post as dreadful as that which still riles me, so well done if that's what you're going for.
  14. I was more bemused by seeing Ian Cathro's assistant at Aston Villa.
  15. When the Ponds left and Clara turned up back in 2013 I stopped watching. Partly because the show was doing that stupid American thing of having "mid-season breaks" where you see six episodes, then wait six months for the rest by which point you've forgotten everything that had happened, partly because I was extremely upset that Amy Pond wasn't on my television on a regular basis any more. I've now made it up to and past that point and Clara is just absolutely awful in every way. From what I've seen people say in the past few pages it doesn't get any better from here, does it?
  16. Dick Foster's jumpers aren't getting any better.
  17. At this point I'm just impressed by how Meldrew continues to post at all
  18. "The commission has been accused of not providing value for money"
  19. I don't see what the problem is, Celtic fucking off out of Scotland is a fantastic idea.
  20. tbf those three haven't really been up to much lately
  21. This is now on iplayer. I can't stand Ricky Gervais. Is it worth watching?
