Julie Andrews. 86 now..
He's a tough act to follow, but for me the sad thing from that list is how few people from the younger generation appear to be picking up the baton who just aren't the same caliber.Ymx wrote: Mon Jan 03, 2022 9:44 am It’ll be a sad day when David Attenborough passes. One of the greats when it comes to conservation.
He will be gone with his incredible nature appreciation, capturing and showing the beauty of it all. Instead we will be left with the new generation conservationist “blah blah blah”.
Wow.....The coal miners daughter can still hold a tune.......Tichtheid wrote: Sun Jan 02, 2022 12:22 am It's saddening to see Loretta Lynn on that list, which is in dubious taste it has to be said.
I grew up with Country Music as part of my day to day as well as Scottish music, my mum loved Dolly, Loretta, Patsy, Hank Williams Jnr, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell etc (my first ever gig was GC at Edinburgh's Usher Hall with my mum!)
Loretta and Conway Twitty were ace.
Anyway, a recent(ish) song from one of the Queens of Country. Ms Loretta Lynn

I cannot believe that Paul Gascoigne has outlived him.
I didn't go on Uni Challenge - my college did while I was there but I wasn't good enough for the A team, especially since the made it to the final and lost to a Cambridge college with a clearly autistic captain - but I did compete in the British Universities Quiz Championship. Made it all the way to the final but lost over three rounds to Oxford A after we'd beat them in the earlier rounds.NeilOJism wrote: Thu Feb 10, 2022 4:23 pmI cannot believe that, despite a burning ambition since the age of 13 to be on UC, my university years were 1987-1994...Waudbee wrote: Tue Feb 08, 2022 7:46 pmHe was brilliant on UC.
