Len Johnrose at only 52 - another footballer to MND RIP etc. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11113579/amp/Tributes-pour-former-footballer-Len-Johnrose-died-long-five-year-battle-MND.html

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.

Some of he replies to this:

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.

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)

Yeah, same here. 33 is no age at all, what an absolute sin - young family 'n all - heartbreaking.

He had a good innings.

Free money

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.

We did indeed - forgot about that.

Yay - thanks for running it again MS

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)

Boom Journalist Gary Burgess dies aged 46 | ITV News Channel RIP etc.

The first hit of last year was a Bronco!!

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.

So proud

We called him Kenny Hope-less. RIP etc though.
