Happy Birthday Mr. Belafonte , first Birthday on the DL

Carter needs just 20 more days to surpass Bush Sr. as the oldest US president to ever live.

Why do you think Battle of the Bastards was used in the last round * Think one post in FB group in last 2 years. It isn't used.

Doing a bit of digging and assuming her parents were married, her mother's maiden name was definitely Deane and there's only one record of a marriage between Deane and Garwood from 1900 to 1983; that being Phyllis D Deane and Montague F Garwood. Montague was born in Exeter, just down the road from where Pat was born. It looks like it's Pat herself that has died.

Seems to be a recent interview No mention of her impending death or even ill health - just looking forward to her 102nd birthday which is on 20th March.

Please do not upset our wonderful host. The rules are quite clear - the fame line is wherever msc wants to draw it and we should all be good with that because he's prepared to put in all this effort for our enjoyment - particularly impressive is the midnight shift every single month end for 6 months.

Congratulation to The Mad Hatter. A worthy winner. I look forward to following your progress in the cup with interest.

I didn't think that conversation would end well for me.

@Pedro67 Good luck to you anaw! I'm not a chatter, custodian of the top secret @msc team. I don't even feel part of the Forum and I've been here ages, never mind discussing possibles off-Forum. Alzarian to the core, surrounded by Marshmen and Marshspiders....

So far I've had to delete Mark Hollis and Stephan Ellis from the Hits of 1986 list. Maybe I should have done Hits of 33 years ago this year...

OK @Grim Up North GUN it's you and I, and now we can decide who we let in our elitist club. PM me lol (not j/j). Oh I see @msc is a misfit too, he's a member too. I'm adding @alt obits guy cuz he seems pretty intense. I like him. I think that's a decent enough foursome to put others on their heels.

My reputation in this game is awesome. I am now in the second round for the second time but I have yet to have a hit. I do not think my teams are bad though I do avoid FFBI types. Thanks @Master Tech for your gracious comments and good luck next year. Though I do hope you might consider a team for Scavenger Hunt Bingo III which inches ever nearer.

Updating the Muppets guest thread to reflect the deaths of Roy Clark last November and Carol Channing this January.

Stephan Ellis, who had two stints as bassist for the band Survivor, no longer fits in the category indicated by its name. http://www.noise11.com/news/survivor-bass-player-stephan-ellis-has-died-20190301

ewontsee 2020.

1. Howard Finkel 2. Tommy Donbavand 3. Stanley Crouch 4. Bernie Torme 5. Baba Suwe

?? Literal Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison not famous enough for you?

Gah! Me and Pedro for The Long March! MonTheJags!

I didn't submit a March team - being 13-0 down at half-time I didn't see much point, and so it came to pass. as Andrea & Sarah might put it, time to say goodbye.

Chirac now only recognises 5 people (not named) Bernadette is also in increasingly bad health since the death of her daughter in 2016 for those interested in a 2 for 1 deal. (Links are in French because duh)

Ah, I'd wondered what the "A" in "A Serbian Film" stood for
