That's Shane Macgowan outliving two other Pogues. Three if you include Joe Strummer who joined the band for a single tour.
I'm beginning to think it might be an act, and he's really a teetotal health-food and fitness freak.
And Kirsty McColl 'n all.

Nice one folks - I'd already heard the Spanish Steps were rank and we'll most certainly add the Pantheon to the list.
I've been before btw, but it was about 35 years ago and it was basically just a massuve piss up, so I'm looking forward to actually seeing some of the city this time.

Heading to Rome later in the year so hopefully ok to jump on this thread...
Omnia Travel Cards get absolutely shite reviews (are they indeed shite?) - I'm thinking of just buying a Vatican (etc) queue jumper and using public transport as and when we need it (most stuff within walking distance anyway) - any thoughts?
Looking to do the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, Trevi & the Colosseum - presumably they're the must sees!? Is there anywhere else we should be looking to go?
And any food/restaurant recommendations greatly appreciated
Ta etc.

It was already bad that Trump buried Ivana on one of his golf courses but it turns out he did it for tax purposes!
Get in the hole indeed.

I used them very recently, thought they were sound, in fact compared to going into a dealership I thought it was feckin great.
I've got a mate who's a car salesman and he couldn't fault the price or any aspect of the sale.
The actual online purchase took some time but mostly on the finance part - IIRC there was a message stating it would take around 15 minutes but it actually took about 45
When we went to collect the car we just wanted to get it and go so we were quite quick but I believe they'd have gone over all aspects of the car if we'd wanted - they take a picture of you beside the car for their records btw
Surprise wee bonus of a goody back in the car with branded brolly, water bottle, air freshener etc.
Thoroughly recommend them.

I dont think so, it is bus / tram / bike only there but I dont think there are actually any cameras at that spot anyway.
eta - when you say drop off, if you are a taxi you are fine as they are allowed.
Ta, I didn't see any cameras so guessing I'm ok.
(Not a taxi - I was dropping off a relative for an early train)

Turned onto Princes Street this morning by mistake after an early morning Waverly Station drop off - can I expect a fine?
(Turned left at the Mound, realised my mistake, then spun round at the next lights)

I took him out this year because it was apparently going much better than anyone could have hoped for. Good move.
Yeah, same here.
33 is no age at all, what an absolute sin - young family 'n all - heartbreaking.

He had a good innings.

You've spelled his name wrong, search for Israel Dresner.
If only it were that simple - ta though.

Modest points missed as one of my picks, Isreal Dresner, fails to land a UK obit - was always going to be a struggle but he had featured in a couple of UK articles fairly recently.

A movie I could watch over and over - the slap was ad-libbed apparently.
They called him Mr Tibbs.

Anyone else get an email from Ladbrokes detailing their year?
Apparently I made £93 using free bets, £94 using cash & £16 from their 1-2-free game.

Sure we crossed wires about him last year or the year before. Don’t worry, I didn’t pick him in either.
We did indeed - forgot about that.

I don't think I've missed anything else, so barring Aim Here popping up to correct my arithmetic it's time to congratulate long-time player and first time winner @Ned Nederlander - he had lots of picks and they scored highly. So much so that his last hit was at the beginning of September and still nobody got near him. A worthy winner.
Thanks to everyone else who played this year. I'm not sure I'm getting any better at running this thing but more people keep playing every year, so something must be going right. If you're playing in 2022 then I'll see you there, if you forgot then... 2023 is just 363 lockdown-affected days away!
Yay - thanks for running it again MS

I was unfortunately one of the excitable members that picked someone already dead, u really should pay more attention.
One thing I meant to ask was I noticed in 2021 DP that people have captains, I don't think I've nominated one
Yer still good:
- Captain Bonus - You can nominate a captain of your team who receives an extra set of Base Points added to their score.
- Inherent Vice - You can nominate a vice-captain of your team who receives an extra set of half Base Points (rounded up) added to their score.
- (If you do not nominate a Captain or Vice-captain, I will consider the first and second respective names on your list for these positions)

Yay I get to go first...
...but as a Broncos fan back in the day I'm sorry to see Dan Reeves suffer a final blowout

The first hit of last year was a Bronco!!

Looks like I've finished 4th, a big improvement on last year's 40th.
Congratulations to @Ned Nederlander
Looks promising but I reckon there's still time for a very late solo, captain, last-gasp, deadly December pick to be announced that'll pip me.

Ex-ref Kenny Hope at 80.
Don't remember having anything in particular against him so
Either distance lends enchantment or he didn't do many Meadowbank games...!
We called him Kenny Hope-less.
RIP etc though.
