Connie Johnson dead: Next round Carrie DeKlyen Sophie Sabbage Eva Echevarria Paul Alcock Malcolm Young

Biggest Australian death of the year, then.

Connie Johnson dead Bad miss for me but anyhow she has gone just after getting a fundraising award.

Well, an update of sorts - he was unable to return to his weekly football radio show this season with Ian Snodin. Could be bored, of course.

Sorry I've just seen this - I can't believe that every single adult (even the ones that are about to die) have eye protection on and the little girl doesn't - wtf?

Obviously Bush looks a bit on his last legs, but Clinton looked a bit done in too. Bush Jr is 71 now, though, and short of cancer, doesn't look like he'll be troubling us for many many years yet. In a deadpooling sense of course. I'm sure he gave a lot of people trouble during the years 2001 to 2008!

When you create a new thread you have the option to attach a poll to it:

Yay, more helpful news from the National Enquirer...

Another one?

Can't get a proper link yet but still trying but apparently according to the National Enquirer and The Globe Bob Barker collapsed at his wife's grave and has said he is ready to die or something akin to that. I'm not saying it's accurate given the source but felt it was worth flagging up. Got a link of sorts now

Mrs Thatcher when will you return the children's milk

I honestly forgot about her until Charon talked about her in this thread tbh.

My friend took his daughter to a con a he looked at the line up of signing sessions and said in a very loud voice Goodness me Peter Wyngarde is he still alive?

"Sir you think because we are actors we sleep with anybody"

There's a Dave Allen routine about that, including the moment some guy in New York stopped in front of him and yelled: "SHIT! I stood in some doggy doo-doo."

Not on this thread.

Thatcher replied to a topic 3 hours ago Bobby Boyd, NFL cornerback for the Baltimore Colts (1960-1968), has died aged 79. His final game was the Super Bowl in 1969. --------------------------------- Looking for a different obit on the NFL Bobby Boyd to publish, I came across another Bobby Boyd we missed. (From June 30, 2017): "The country music industry is mourning the loss of a great songwriter this week. Bobby Boyd, the writer behind hits, like “Two of a Kind Workin’ on a Full House” and “Working Man’s PHD,” has passed away at the age of 69. Boyd got his start in music way back in the 1960s and ’70s. During that time, he performed at a club in Chattanooga almost nightly. Eventually, he wound up as a staff writer for Jimmy Bowen, writing several of his hit songs while employed there. Over the years, he wrote songs for artists like Garth Brooks, Aaron Tippin, Martina McBride, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and George Jones, just to name a few. Boyd was such a talented songwriter that he was also able to stray outside the confines of country music. In the ’60s and ’70s, he teamed up with Little Richard, The Platters and The Coasters as well as several other notable artists. SC (Note: We have also posted a Bob Boyd, men's basketball coach at USC during the UCLA John Wooden era).

Not that hard a bar, mind you!

Michael Gambon was unable to receive a lifetime achievement award because of ill health this month: https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/television/2017/0408/866341-illness-forces-gambon-to-miss-ifta-lifetime-honour/

Carol Channing is 96 years old today- one year older than Betty White- might think of her as a possibility! http://www.playbill.com/article/celebrating-the-96th-birthday-of-the-great-carol-channing

Yoko Ono appears in wheelchair at the womens march thing. She's meant to be quite frail nowadays.

Drew Wahlroos, NFL player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002-2003), Amsterdam Admirals (2003-2004) and the St. Louis Rams (2004-2005), has committed suicide aged 37. Rashaan Salaam and Drew Wahlroos are both former Colorado Buffaloes who have committed suicide in the past year.
