The Pie and Bovril Dead Pool 2024


Recommended Posts

Herbert Coward. The name may be unfamiliar. His most famous movie lines may be better known. In 'Deliverance' he uttered the immortal "He got a real purty mouth, don't he..?"

He is now dead.

On January 24, 2024, Coward, his girfriend Bertha Brooks, and their pet Chihuahua were killed in a highway collision in Haywood County, North Carolina. Neither Coward nor Brooks were wearing seatbelts. He was 85.

Stuart Gray, son of Eddie Gray, has passed away at the age of 50.

It probably doesn't surprise you that he's my Joker however it brings back painful memories for me as my Mum died of this very rare and very aggressive cancer just a few weeks after diagnosis.

@BFTD

I was going to post a cover from Jazz Magazine but seriously, just Google the phrase - there's loads of them, all pretending not to know their titles have a double meaning.

My favourites so far are The Sussex Jazz Mag and Women in Jazz Media.

Dunno who Mart was, but he looks bemused at being a Reader's Wife.

Week 4 update

One death this week, footballer Stuart Gray: Ex-Celtic footballer Stuart Gray dies aged 50 after being diagnosed with rare cancer - as his former clubs pay tribute | Daily Mail Online

Quote

Gray was a midfielder and the son of Eddie and nephew of Frank Gray, both distinguished members of the renowned Leeds United side from the early 1970s, and began his football journey through the youth ranks at Celtic. 

He marked his debut in a 1-0 home victory against Aberdeen on May 1, 1993. During his tenure with the Hoops, Stuart accumulated 32 appearances, scoring a goal in a notable 4-1 home win over Raith Rovers in May 1996.

His career trajectory led him to join Tommy Burns' Reading side in 1998, where he spent three years before moving on to play with Rushden & Diamonds for an additional four years, amassing 142 appearances during his time with the club.

Stuart, a father of five, faced a challenging battle with his health after being diagnosed with stage four cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer originating in the bile ducts, in September. 

Acknowledging the advanced stage of the disease, Stuart took the initiative to launch a GoFundMe page aimed at supporting his own medical treatment.

The grim reality of cholangiocarcinoma lies in its tendency to reach an advanced stage before showing symptoms, making surgery, the only known cure, often unfeasible. 

Alongside this cancer diagnosis, Stuart also grappled with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a chronic liver disease with no known cure. Medical professionals suggested that PSC likely played a role in the development of the cancer.

We hear so much about cancer and disease awareness under the guise of "it's easier to treat if you spot it sooner," so the thought there are still diseases like this that can seemingly kill you without being able to realise before it's too late is quite sobering.

Gray died at 50 so he's worth 75 Base Points. These go to @Billy Jean King, @Indale Winton and @Ned Nederlander. @JustOneCornetto gets a Captain bonus for 150 points.

As a result, the standings look like this:

1. mozam76 189
2. Ned Nederlander 169
3. lolls, Moomintroll, pub car king, Salvo Montalbano 163
7. JustOneCornetto 150
8. psv_killie, The_Craig 141

10. cdhafc1874, lichtgilphead 129
12. amnarab, Arch Stanton, sparky88, The DA, The Naitch, ThomCat 94
18. Billy Jean King, Indale Winton 75
20. D Angelo Barksdale 71

21. Florentine_Pogen, tamthebam 58
23. parxyz 47

24. sleazy, stanton, Sweaty Morph 25
27. Everyone else 0

Right, Jimmy Carter can piss right off. A month into the new year, where we were pondering if he’d even make the end of the old. It makes the Vatican smoke watch seem reasonable,
