Miguel Sanchez Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Week 47 update One death this week, former First Lady of the United States Rosalynn Carter: US ex-President Jimmy Carter's wife Rosalynn dies aged 96 - BBC News Quote Former US First Lady Rosalynn Carter, the wife of ex-President Jimmy Carter, has died at the age of 96. The Carter Center confirmed in a statement that she died peacefully with her family by her side. On Friday, it was reported that she had entered a hospice care home in the state of Georgia, and was spending time with her 99-year-old husband, who has been in hospice care since February. Mrs Carter was diagnosed with dementia in May. The longest-married first couple marked their 77th wedding anniversary in July. "Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished," said Mr Carter in the statement. "She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me." The way the BBC website uses line breaks for single sentences, really, really annoys me. There's a slightly more detailed epitaph for her on the Carter Center's website, which she and Jimmy set up after he left office: Rosalynn Carter, Former First Lady and Founder of The Carter Center Can you imagine being married to someone for 77 years? Carter died at 96 so she's worth 29 Base Points for @HibsFan, @lichtgilphead and @TxRover. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. cdhafc1874 422 2.

Mark Connolly Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Always thought Venables was one of the best pundits when he was on. He actually explained what was happening, rather than firing out buzzwords and platitudes. Obviously learned plenty from wee Jim when we pumped them in the UEFA Cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane of Cawdor Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 24 minutes ago, Jacksgranda said: Which I used to have until some c**t "borrowed" it. Co-written with this Scottish author (d. 20/8/2017). Incidentally, Williams thought that Venables' cheeky, cockney chappie image was a front for a deeply serious character. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/aug/21/gordon-williams-obituary Excerpt from the obituary below: Any estimate of Williams’s work is always likely to be complicated by the variety of styles and genres in which he wrote, but most of his admirers would probably settle on From Scenes Like These (1969) as the book which most perfectly showcased his gifts. Set on a bleak mid-1950s Ayrshire farm, and featuring a teenage boy who yearns to be a professional footballer before settling for the traditional male pursuits of drink and women. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
