Let’s see how well it works down the homestretch - if it’s as good as all that, you’ve got another 80 points coming for Valerie Harper and Joost van der Westhuizen, who are on both of our lists.
And since he’s on my list and some others, an excerpt from an interview with Clive James that was aired yesterday:
PHILIP WILLIAMS: You’ve been telling the world, in a sense, since 2010 that your time is limited, you’re on your way out. You haven’t delivered.
CLIVE JAMES: Yes, I know, it’s an embarrassment, isn’t it? I think about that all the time. I more or less promised Kerry O’Brien, I think it was last year now - I’m sorry about this, Kerry, but I more or less promised it would be the last interview and I would totter away and die in the garden. And guess what? I didn’t. There has been a change in the last year. My leukaemia came out of remission, but this new drug was ready and now I really don’t know when I’ll be finished.
And speaking of celebs who are handling their limited remaining life expectancy with more good cheer than most of us would, Jimmy Carter held a press conference this morning , saying that the cancer had spread to his brain, but that he would be starting radiation treatment this afternoon. He clearly isn’t ready to call it quits just yet, saying “I’d like for the last guinea worm to die before I do.”
RTFirefly:
But seeing as how I don’t have the ex-cricket player Martin Crowe, but you and **Registered At Last **and Fear Itself and CAMJAY77 all have him, from my POV that Martin Crowe is the wrong one, so this one must be the right one.
Forgive me, but how many players lists do you follow?

I know the GOP presidential race is pretty crowded, but this seems a little harsh.

Seven, including my own: the six of us with 200+ points, and Andrew 21 ’s list of golden oldies.

meanwhile, my ace in the hole, The Amazing Johnathan, is not only still breathing, but still performing!
At least he had the decency to apologize to all the DP’ers who have him on their lists. Unlike several others I can mention (coughmost of my listcough ).

His prognosis this past spring was for one year. I’m holding him to it.
