How on earth wasn't he on the list? Heads need to roll .

And may I add, a fucking legend. Straight man in comedy, host of game show, mainstream comedy and proper actor. And bloody should have been on this year without question. RIP.

It really isn’t. Already bored of the doom merchants and self appointed medical experts on Twitter telling us that this is going to kill millions worldwide. Most people who have been infected have recovered or are making a recovery. Of the 5000 or so cases there has only been 106 deaths as of today. All the deaths thus far have been in China, primarily in the elderly and those who were already sick/weak. You can add in the contributing factor of poor healthcare in mainland China to that equation. Everyone contracting the virus and being diagnosed overseas is surviving.

RIP

Oh, he's much better in that than folk let on. Apparently the dress rehearsals were in a local church in London, and one day Parsons - in costume - was getting lunch when he was stopped by a passerby who asked when the Sunday evening mass was!

Let's not forget how he bravely kept Haemovores away with a sturdy Church door.

Nicholas Parsons just had his last minute https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51278023

Deid

Look on the bright side. You will probably get an upgrade to first class and lots of free champagne. People would die for that opportunity.

Alan Alda turns 84 today.

The most famous Indians in the UK are the guy and lassie who call me up 7 times a day claiming to represent UK Broadcast, Sky, Microsoft, traffic accident information...I could go on. Shame they don't use their real names, instead deciding to run their finger down a list of names they use for that day.

Anyone else think UK coverage has been excessive for someone that used to play a sport that arouses close to zero interest over here?

Oh absolutely, one of our greatest entertainers imo. I aimed to never miss Just A Minute (I was too young for Sale of the Century), and he was a great straight man to Rik and Ade in Mr Jolly Lives Next Door.

Massive miss for the list. RIP.

Former Test cricketer Datta Gaekwad would possibly get a qualifying obituary, although the last of his 11 tests was almost 60 years ago. His so was the Indian cricket coach twice, which makes it slightly more likely.

During his LEGENDARY career, Brown saw action in 19 NFL games, catching three passes for 43 yards and returning one kickoff for 13 yards.

Goddamn ALT OBITS GUY don't you ever sleep? I'm supposed to be awake alone for 3-4 hours and rule the posting duties. lol Anyway, RIP, I liked COC when they first came out. Never saw them though. SC

I’ve watched enough hockey in my time and know enough bands people think are American. I might give it a go.

Me to my spouse: "Hey my dream was answered eight minutes ago!" [Tells spouse about Canadian Bacon game] Me to family: "I began a list seven minutes ago. Guess how many I have now." Family in unison; "Twenty." They were correct. Looks like I have to wait until October to load up on the Coffin Crisps.

Do you think she will be the one to make it to live to 118 years old and pherhaps surpass Sarah Knauss and maybe Jeanne Louise Calment.

Stephen Joyce, 87, grandson and last descendant of James Joyce. A stroppy character by all accounts, and a DDP miss. He kept strict control of his grandfather’s legacy, in 2004 threatening the Irish government with a lawsuit to prevent public readings on Bloomsday, the annual celebration of Ulysses, launching innumerable tussles with scholars over books on Joyce, and refusing permission to quote from Joyce’s writings. Academics, he told the New Yorker in 2006, were like “rats and lice – they should be exterminated!” https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jan/27/stephen-joyce-last-direct-descendant-of-james-joyce-dies-aged-87

Thank goodness - I think the audit is coming up soon......!

Now I'm not hosting, I guess I can speak freely... Skinny v Sir Creep in R1 a tough one, winner meets JK. Hard three way to call there. Good draw on paper for Willz. Torva on paper could easily be the "ups game to take on Reptile" annual name, she destroyed Dr T last year. Can't tell who'd be more annoyed at the Banana/Spade draw - there was only 1 point between them last year - could be a bit Brock v Rock Summerslam 2002. TQR will probably say something like "Arse burgers, I have less chances of survival than an octopus in a sushi bar" and then win. Bad draw for Book. Liz and Etushis fighting for the right to face DI - lucky sods.

Things could get really nasty. I believe this is the first stage to divorce. I agree with toast this may have be a crush or infatuation he had for a few years before they met.Of course he was able to meet and date this girl he's crazy about, being a prince but those types of relationships rarely turn out well especially with bad women like Meghan. She definitely doesn't love him ,infact I think she only loves herself ,see how she treats her father the man in her life who's been with her longest. Abandoned because he had an heart attack at the wrong time . It's looking very likely sometime in the future (not the near future) Meghan will do a tell all 'explosive' interview.
