Re: Celebrity Croakers 2021

Larry King is my first in ages. Joker too.

So I'll need a replacement.

Keeping the same theme, Barbara Walters I reckon.

Stan Bowles to become Joker.
I tried to make the change but it looks like it replaces as if I didn't have Larry King to begin with

So I didn't make the change.

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2021

Okay three had Larry King. 13 points to me and Sharkus, and 26 to BristolUK for jokering him. Good call.

I've gone with Jimmy Carter. Sharkus you need a pick!

Spreadsheet updated!

I don't know about in other countries, but he certainly had lots of coverage in Canadian news.

A lot of people don't realise how hard it is to push a walker when you have balls like cars. He should be an inspiration to us all.

BBC, this morning, did a round up of the coverage his death had received from news programmes, and yes, it was from all over the world, he was a ray of sunshine at such a difficult time last year

91 isn't bad at all for him. I saw an interview where he confessed to being drunk throughout the filming of Sound of Music. Great actor though; Canadian legend.

I remember seeing a movie he was in, maybe 30-40 years ago. There was a fight scene and if memory serves someone's head ended up in a fish tank.

I went through IMDB earlier to see if I could identify it but none of the titles meant much.
