Only just heard aboot it, but Virgil died yesterday. Or his death was announced yesterday.
I don’t know who that is (obviously a wrestler, by the picture) so googled him and saw him described as a ‘MeatSauce God’, which again I don’t understand but also made me smile.
Oh man. Virgil was such a character. Self proclaimed superstar. I was watching the 1992 Royal Rumble with my son the other day and Virgil is in and out of that, just like his career as a whole
And now we hear about Ole Anderson passing away on the 26th of last month. An absolute arsehole of a man to work with/for, if tales can be believed. Not a good time to be a wrestling person it seems.

Adan Canto, 42 (Cleaning Lady, Narcos, Designated Survivor). From back in January, and presumably not famous enough for us to notice, but I just watched S3E1 of The Cleaning Lady and at the end was the testament which came as a surprise, and he was no age. The episode was a bit lopsided as a result, and I'll let them off totally. I always thought he seemed charismatic and annoyingly good looking.

I remember him well, and two if his three hit singles.
But I didn't know that the first one, 'I remember you,' was written by US songwriter Johnny Mercer about his love affair with Judy Garland.

I was reading about this just yesterday. The article I was reading said lot of the symptoms attributed to the diet in Supersize Me were actually due to the alcoholism he hid from the medical team and audience, is that the sort of thing you mean?
Yes, and the fact he was eating other things too.

Yes, he was frequently on the One Show, but also made some TV programmes and regular podcasts of his own on nutrition, diet, exercise, sleep and other lifestyle subjects.
I didn't really know who he was but a colleague at work really rated him (went to a live show of his). Anyway, one of his tips was to stand on one leg while brushing your teeth. Improving your balance so that you don't fall over as much when you get old. I've started doing it and it's oddly difficult. I've got the centre of gravity of like a giraffe or something.
Shifty Shellshock is dead... I was watching him on MTV one day and since he had his done, and he looked cool, I thought I'd get my nipple pierced.
