Yeah - mine looked a bit like that but usually I kind of expect it to bring down some of the previous post’s text.
This will likely mean nothing to non-UK residents (and even then, only to those of a certain age) but here’s your first starter for 10, fingers on buzzers…

I wouldn’t have had any idea (here in the US), except that I’d seen this:

Griff Rhys-Jones (impersonating Bamber in that video) paid tribute to Mr Gascoigne on BBC’s Newsnight this evening. (Of course they were going to interview him on this sad occasion.)

They scare me but sometimes not as much as they should or as much as they scare my wife.
I’ve had the big heart attack and stroke with a few stents, on all kinds of good medicine.
The slightest bump has my wife watching me like a hawk. If it’s a hard enough bump she will convince me to at least call the doctor.
Maybe Bob’s death can bring some awareness to this sort of thing.

This was very shocking and sad to hear.
I met his brother just as he headed up to the Major League from the minors and he was very nice. (I used to work with Jason’s college team as an asst academic coach.) All I know about Jeremy was that he is Jason’s younger brother, also played for Oakland (he’s in the book Moneyball), he went to CSU Northridge, and like his brother he was involved with BALCO and PEDs.
(The CSU system should really be known as the Oakland A’s farm system.)

It’s a bit weird though: I swear I read some time ago (no idea where) that he had rectal cancer. Maybe that was satire?
