Talking of Brian, what happened to Alan2005?

He's on a publicity junket in south east Asia. Not sure when he'll be back.

I‘m watching Green Acres and looked up Eva, dead, and read poor Zsa Zsa Gabor‘s wikipedia page and wonder how much longer she‘s with us. I‘m sure she‘s already in the thread but I‘m way too lazy to read the whole thing.

There were 3 Gabor sisters; Zsa Zsa, Eva, and Magda, (which I didn‘t know), and the lovely Eva played Lisa Douglas on Green Acres.

Can't you assert some authority and delegate the upkeep to a student for some extra marks or something?

No, its not too challenging. But I've already said that I'm not responsible for finding out who croaks or who the croaker might be. :) I'll leave that to folk who give a shit.

Jocky Wilson was a great player but when I started playing in the 70‘s I read the book Leighton Rees On Darts and he was a favourite of mine until his death. I recall Jocky giving someone the finger after they refused to shake hands after losing a match, and he said, “There‘s a chance we‘ll make up in the dressing room after, but if we don‘t that‘s his problem.“

One of the posters on here used to play darts semi-professionally back in the early 1970s before he got into acting. I seem to recall he had some very funny stories about Jockey Wilson. He'll be missed. :(

Are we sunk so low as to refer to ex-darts players as celebrities?
