Goldfish? Crate of beer?:lol:


The tricky bit will be guessing the other one:cool:

No idea why it doesn't filter a dreary town in Northern England but you can get around the filter by changing the font just for that word. I shouldn't have put that out there, the powers that be will want to clip me around the ear. :unsure::lol:

Okay I just had a look at the spreadsheet and a load of you slackers are missing picks. Here are the current gaps:

not2old - 4 of your picks are ineligible, lol. You also need to pick a joker.

MikeyPM - need a new pick to replace Rob Ford

Oink - you only picked 4 celebs to start with. Still missing your fifth.

Oakvillian - need a new pick and a joker to replace Rob Ford

Spud1963 - still missing a joker (must be one of existing 5 picks)

tootlepoodle - need a new pick and a joker to replace Rob Ford

willf - need a new pick to replace Terry Wogan, as well as a joker (never picked)

The boxes that need attention are all highlighted on the spreadsheet.

Edit: Rather than say the emergency landing in no way indicates a chronic condition vs an acute one, I'll re-phrase that to I fail to see how it indicates that. In most cases I would think the opposite likely to be the case.

Toxicology has come back with cause of death by Fentanyl- great pain killer when used appropriately, lethal killer when abused.Clearly he did get secret supplies from people working for him. Sorry to say it didn't surprise me.

Because of opiate abuse, particularly Fentanyl, there have quite rightly been imposed a lot more stringent conditions to prescribe both opiates and hypnotics, sleeping pills etc. about bloody time:cool:

Given the 'Prequiems' he was getting on TV this evening, it was pretty obvious they weren't ordering his breakfast for the morning...

Alrighty, 26 points awarded to each of the following for Muhammad Ali (who I've had since 2014!):
Mikeypm
Rivingtonpike
Schnooks
Souvy
Spud1963

No one had him as the joker. New pics required for all of the above.

Current leaders:
bats with 131
Oakvillian, Partially Discharged, and tootlepoodle with 108
Souvy and Mikeypm with 80
Rivingtonpike, Schnooks, and Spud with 26
Willf with 23
All else with zip.

I think that we should hold a poll to officially change her name to Tootlepoodle, it has a nice canine ring to it :thumbup:

Do you have a link to that report? I read that his physician was being questioned but haven't seen the part about his employees giving him anything.

Found this release from the medical examiner, but it's vague on just who they're investigating.

Authorities have also said the investigation into Prince's death is a criminal investigation. It was not immediately clear if Kornfeld is the subject of a separate investigation.
Federal prosecutors and the Drug Enforcement Administration are investigating how Prince obtained prescription medications and from whom, the agencies said.

Fentanyl, by patch, was one of many meds my wife was treated with. It was expensive but it worked for her for a time.

What's the black market price for leftover Hydromorph Contin? :lol:

I sometimes take the remainders of prescriptions back to the pharmacy and let them dispose of it so the fish don't get drunk.
