The year is 2040. AI Trump rules half the world, Clorox is running the msc memorial Deadpool, and James Whale is still saying he's only got one more Christmas this time.

Now. (For a week at least).

Not to break up the thread by discussing the king's health, but from this week's Popbitch:

Her name sounds like "rigor mortis" !

As someone currently undergoing chemotherapy, about 80% (if not more) of the patients I see at chemo (including myself) still have their hair. Not all chemo drugs cause hair loss, and even if they do, for some cancers (not leukaemia or lymphoma, I believe) you can opt to wear an ice cap during treatment if maintaining your locks is important to you. The chemo = bald image is outdated. Also, you can be normally mobile/feel fine even with widely metastatic cancer.

Here we are. All the notable deaths not covered on here before now featured in the latest Equity magazine. Equity Magazine Autumn/Winter 2023 – In Memoriam with Wiki pages: Bruce Beeby (wiki, 1921–2013) Aussie actor who appeared in British film and television – yes he died over a decade ago, and I don't know why Equity didn't spot it until now, but we never mentioned him on here at the time either!

Bruce Bould (wiki, 1949–2023) English actor who appeared as David in "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin". Other credits include "Z-Cars", "The Good Life" and "The New Avengers". Jacqueline Dark (wiki, 1968–2023) mezzo-soprano with Opera Australia Shirley Gee (wiki, 1932–2016) English playwright, widower of actor Donald Gee (listed above).

Ruth Goring (IMDb, 1927–2023) actress, appeared in "Yentl", widower of the more famous actor Lee Montague (born 1927), spotted in the GRO by @Master Obit and reported on here by @Gisooo but we couldn't confirm if this was actually her death listing until now Murray Hayne (IMDb, 1931–2023) actor, minor roles in "The Avengers" and "Dixon of Dock Green" Patricia Heneghan (IMDb, 1934–2023) actress, notably the librarian and short-term girlfriend for Ken Barlow in "Coronation Street" in 1961 Alfred Hoffman (IMDb, 1924–2023) actor, previously mentioned by @Gisooo on the forum.

American-born actress, widow of the more famous actor Bernard Horsfall (1930–2013). Pictured above with actor Jeremy Child (1944–2022).

Finally managed to get ahold of a copy of the Autumn/Winter 2023 issue or Equity magazine. There are quite a few off radar deaths to cover this time. I'll post about them within the next hour. Firstly, here are all the names we've already covered on DeathList up until now. The embarrassing inclusion of Rolf Harris and Barry Bethell makes me wonder if this is why the issue has not been uploaded online to either the Equity website or their issuu page?

It will be a laugh if Jimmy calves this week

Allman Brothers Band guitarist, Dickey Betts, dead at 80.

Harry Howorth, reportedly the last survivor of those who landed on Sword Beach at Normandy and Legion d'Honneur recipient, reported dead aged 103: BBC news report from 2023: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-66069523

You've been a member for about a year and a half, and for there or thereabouts a year and a half of that, you've been a twat.

Karen Rigmor Moritz, oldest person of Denmark dead at 110

Once again something said without a hint of irony from Lizzie

At least he's lived long enough to no longer have the worst famous person in a tank photo accolade.

Sunak giving a speech on welfare. (Quelle surprise, those dirty benefits recipients). He has, give him his due, outlined the complete failure of this Government to tackle underlying issues of people ending up on benefits. Let me give him a clue or two. Many people who are working are still on benefits. And using food banks. The rights of workers have been stripped away. Employers are struggling with the downturn in growth and Brexit consequences. People are unable to access GP appointments and healthcare quickly. The lack of investment in mental health support has caused issues. Your sanctions regime caused the death of hundreds. There hasn't been job security in this country since the mid-1980s. Childcare support is already out of reach or unavailable to many. He has the audacity to talk about benefit fraud being treated like tax fraud. Maybe if tax fraud was cracked down upon like benefit fraud already is, things would be different. The man is so out of touch with how people are actually struggling to get by day to day under this pathetic bunch of multi-millionaires.

Gone to meet his....... .....oh wait

Hope all is going as well as can be with yours.

Apparently the lettuce will be releasing its own memoir entitled Liz Truss: My Part in Her Downfall.

Shit! Who’s going to save the fucking West now?!

Well done Rover!

My favourite stat about Liz Truss is that her net approval rating in the UK when she left office was -83%, which was at the time 4% worse than Vladimir Putin's.
