Skubbs Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Is it not his middle name, but it's used more often than his first, or something along those lines? I googled for his full name when I did my list, just to be sure, and that's what came up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I thought his first name was Mohammed? :SHad him down as my joker but getting his name confused may cost me points! Nightmare!Mohammed is the most common first name in the world, as many Muslims name their children after The Prophet (pbuh) as a mark of respect. Because of this it's quite often the second name that is used as the 'given' name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Sorry, plain forgot about this, and didn't actually know Megrahi was dead until I read this thread 5 minutes ago.POINTS OVERLOAD!OK. Robin Gibb was 62, so 8 points. He's captain for Delboy and Cool Thinker, so double points there (16), and 8 points for Bigsby, Stroopy and Graham Knight. Scorge gets the first pick bonus of 1 point, which makes him worth 9, and also captain, so doubled that's a decent haul of 18 points for Scorge.Megrahi was 60, so 8 points. 16 points for Scottyboy and flights (captains), 9 points for Lucky Rathen (first pick bonus), 8 points for Bigsby, Stroopy, Slutbags, Graham Knight, Shell7, Alkaline, Moose, Scorge and delboy.That makes the leaderboard look like this:1 Scorge 422 Bigsby 393 Lucky Rathen 254 Slutbags McGee 245 Delboy 246 Graham Knight 237 Cool Thinker 238 scottyboy 169 flights 1610 Stroopy121 1611 Alkaline 1512 Shaki 813 Moose 814 Shell7 815 Bob Knob 016 FOX 017 JaseyBoi 018 Alan Cynic 019 MattJimF 020 Lonz 021 Lucius 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 James Grout - best known as the Superintendent in Morse but I knew him best as Professor Richard Whittingham in Old Harry's Game and Harry Beaston in King Street Junior.

jester1470 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 One that I doubt anyone had was Caroline John who played Liz Shaw, Pertwee's first and arguably best companion. On Who death news I would reckon that William Russell who played the first companion Ian Chesterton must be worth a punt next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
