Read that Joy Westmore died the other day aged 88.

Who is Joy Westmore I hear you ask? And I call you an uneducated cultural philistine.

Joy played Joyce Barry, the worlds worst prison officer in the epic Aussie soap Prisoner: Cell Block H

On account of Joy having an uncanny resemblance to our own Dierdre I thought I'd stick her obit in here.

RIP Joy

I'd hoped to do this 44,444th post at 4:44:44 but I couldn't be arsed staying in work the last couple of days to do it. And will be watching the game later so can't do it then so fuck it.
I'll do 55,555 at 5:55:55 if I make it that far

Tried to think of similarly relevant timing I could apply, but - other than waiting until I'm almost six months beyond my 100th birthday - nothing quite seems to fit the bill. Besides, there's lots of futile league tables and album art/music videos to spam RAWK with in the 67 years until then.

So, instead, I'll take the Steve Lamacq approach and dedicate to RAWK the 8888th song (a-z) in my iTunes library:

Apparently I've listened to this once since the database began in August 2009...perhaps it should be the soundtrack to the Official LFC Season 2020-21 films.

I've hit 'quintuple figures' (is that a thing?) with this post.

If my post rate had been 1 per day, my first post would have been just a couple of weeks before the end the 1994-95 Premier League season and Everton's most recent trophy win.

Oooh, oooh, ooh, I am 234 posts off my 10,000th so must be careful to remember, that gives me about two weeks to think of something suitable. Excitement is barely controllable.

Another fine thread from you mate to be fair.

I missed my last 2 landmarks and been sweating on someone else using the "Anne Kilbride on set with a fag hanging out of her grid" picture.

Anne, in real life was more Hilda Ogden than Deirdre it seems

So, for my 10,000th post, I give all you who moan about bad performances (and all the Everton fans after nearly every game) this classic lecture from Deirdre

Now THAT is how you celebrate 10k posts. Spectacular research.

Joking aside that is pretty good from the wonderful Ann there. Pretty much a monologue for the 80's that. Like something out of a Mike Leigh play.

After that performance she pretty much gave up acting and concentrated on smoking and perfecting her stuffed marrow recipe.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #389 on:** January 6, 2023, 11:45:30 am »

Great post. And I think asking yourself What Would Deirdre Do is a mantra we could all live by and make the world a better place.

WWDD.

Take 8 points from 12? Deirdre needs higher aspirations.

this thread is gold - the last few posts especially - and what a monologue, yes, very Mike Leigh-esque......

Did think it looked like a form guide. I’d take that from our next four but then I’ve always had lower standards than Dierdre.

Of course

So many links in some posts I swear I've broke RAWK on a few occasions (sorry about that. Still, some nice down-time for the non-techy mods, eh? )
