Monkeys Fist 38556 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Doug Scott- 79. The first Englishman to stand on the summit of Everest, and an absolute legend in the climbing world. The story of his descent of the Ogre after snapping both legs at the shin is gut wrenching, and well worth reading. Decent obit here which mentions his work in later life in Nepal.

Alex 30239 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) RIP. That was my first World Cup (that I can remember anyway). Everyone (including me) has fond memories of Brazil and the French in that World Cup but that Italy team played some great stuff as the tournament progressed. No age at all either.

Alex 30239 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Aye. Lifelong Tory who, after developing dementia, realises the social care is shite. So, instead of recognising why that is, gives Johnson a lovely PR opportunity holding hands with him in the Downing Street rose garden whilst ‘discussing the issue’.
