I don't understand cricket, never mind the Duckworth-Lewis method of which I'd previously never heard.

Aeons ago, when I was running Occasional Speakers courses for my fellow civil servants, we'd let them choose their own subjects for their practice presentations so that we didn't get 10 or more boring talks about the work they did.

One memorable presentation was on The Leg Before Wicket Rule. The guy managed to fill 45 minutes without hesitation or repetition. I seem to remember it making sense at the time.

John Mayall whose influential band the Bluesbreakers was a springboard for stars including Eric Clapton, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Jack Bruce, Mick Taylor, etc. etc. - has died at the age of 90.

Attachment:
Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton.jpg

L-R John Mayall, Eric Clapton, John McVie and Hughie Flint

"He had a reputation as something of an eccentric, building a massive treehouse in his grandparents' back garden, where he lived with his fiancee Pamela."

If I remember correctly, his grandparents' house was in Didsbury, less than half a mile from where I lived as a child, although I never actually saw it.

Not sure this counts as celebrity, but I hope there are some succulent Chinese meals wherever he's ended up.

He does a fine turn as a USAF general in By Dawn's Early light. Essential viewing for anyone who grew up with cold war films.

His most famous contribution to music must be the bassline to Walk on the Wild Side.

I saw him live about twenty years ago, and he was great. I don't think Iron Maiden would have ever got to the same level of success without Bruce, but their first two albums are some of their best.

I met him in passing. He was friendly with my dad (who worked in athletics) - a relatively rare example of someone big in the sport who also loved it when he finished.

I find it odd that the death of American singer Jack Jones hasn't been widely reported. He used to be hugely popular in the 70s and 80s and was still touring in 2018.

Shame about Todd. I never rated Candyman but I enjoyed him in The Crow and Final Destination. 69 is too young.
