Two of the five horses that bolted in London yesterday are in a serious condition - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68895233 Nowt on the state of the other three, so I guess their condition is "stable" (arf!)

Well, now that you've sent me to Wikipedia, the first one was Croatian Mirko Miocic. https://hr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirko_Miočić

But lucky for us, you're here. Your brilliant lists are one of the essential ingredients of our diets. I can't imagine this place without you, @Gooseberry Crumble. I hope to see you again in one of our favourite pools... the next Windy.

Some of these bans are odd. I found I was banned when I went beyond 45 degrees South earlier in the year. Given than En Passant started a Gooseberry love-in I'd just like to say I'm a big fan of DL's own enema queen too

A very impressive list. One has to say those born in the 1940s and beyond are generally holding up pretty well, so far. Does anyone know if Leonard Preston (who was the main star of one of the more memorable Tales of the Unexpected Episodes) but doesn't appear to be on your list is still alive? He appears to be born in 1954 but very little public information available perhaps due to this https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4425580

This has happened to me a few times. Sometimes it clears if I switch from WiFi to data.

Some people here don't wish to reveal details of their life outwith the forum. We all start off with blank profiles, and if you choose to waive your anonymity, that's on you. I'm not such an enigma; a few members would hear about my tragic bidet accident on social media and update you all.

I would have had Kings Of Leon and Empire State Of Mind going through at the expense of Swift and Morrison, in all honesty. And I'm not sure whether Adele would have made my top 4 - would certainly have been close though.

Donald Payne dead: https://newjerseyglobe.com/in-memoriam/donald-payne-dies-at-65/

Kaiti Grey in very good health according to her lawyer.

From the comments of the first video:

I don't know to put this British actress Margaret Lee (Wiki) reported dead at 80

Woody Cook. A name that must be plagued by typos.

Ansel Adams would have to be photoshopped as of 40 years ago (82).

On this day 2 years ago, Japanese supercentenarian Kane Tanaka who was the world's oldest validated person as well as the oldest validated Japanese person ever as well as the second-oldest validated person ever, passed away at the age of 119.

And many thanks for a speedy and stress less succession. TCD will be in good hands.

As Dead as I Once Was 4/50 5th February 2024 Country icon Toby Keith has died aged 62 from stomach cancer. Keith’s career in country music started in 1993 when he released his first, self-titled, album that reached no.17 on the US country charts, with his single ‘Should’ve been a Cowboy’ reaching no.1 on the country charts and going 3 times platinum. In 2002 his seventh studio album ‘Unleashed’ became his first no.1 album on the regular US Billboard charts, a feat he achieved a further 3 times throughout his career. On the US country charts, in total Keith achieved 20 no.1 singles and 9 no.1 albums. A multi-talented man, he sometimes ventured into acting, opened his own chain of restaurants called ‘Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill’ and was a staunch supporter of the US Republican Party. In 2022 Keith announced that he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer towards the end of the previous year and was undergoing treatment. Following his passing for the disease in February, Keith has been posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He was making his first appearance on the Crowdsourced Deathlist, at no.28.

A Place in the Ground 3/50 2nd February 2024 Longtime TV presenter Jonnie Irwin has died aged 50 after a 4 year long battle with cancer. Irwin’s TV career started in 2004 when he landed the role of co-presenter on Channel 4’s A Place in the Sun and filmed 100s of episodes for the programme until he was fired in 2021, he claims that they had sacked him due to his illness. His other most well known presenting gig was on BBC’s Escape to the Country, which he worked on starting in 2010. In 2020 Irwin was diagnosed with lung cancer and reportedly was given 6 months to live. In 2022 he went public with this information, reiterating that he hasn’t got long left. However to every deathlisters delight he continued to confound the odds and spent every waking moment talking to the press about how he wasn’t going to see Christmas (he never said which one). At the end of January he spent a week in hospital and was sent home on the 27th, where he died the following week. He was making his second appearance on the Crowdsourced deathlist, this year at no.10.
