Yeah, I started it as a way of getting good tips for the DDP, but people kept sending in Prince Philip and Olivia de Havilland rather than off the radar unique tips.

1) I asked members if they were interested in me doing that thread and quite a few responded yes 2) I’ve been putting a lot of original research into that thread as the info isn’t readily available online. The biggest contribution you make is cut and pasting stories about obscure ppl from your Google news feed. Take a fucking seat.

Lol, yes indeed they are. Get yourself informed.

Kenny Rogers is a hit for @YoungWillz Sad, but well predicted!

Sad news.His duet 'Islands in the stream'with Dolly Parton was one of the best love songs I've ever heard. RIP Kenny.

Ok I'll post the Obit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-51986611 He becomes my first and probably only hit for my TOTP Theme Team, just under a year after Ranking Roger carked it in 2019. RIP. The 1983 release of Islands In The Stream actually hit its highest position in 1984, charting at #7 in January. So as per usual, got to post it:

Hi thanks for the info on Carr and Maidment.the Hugman website is going offline but will be replaced. I will tell Barry Hugman to put on the additional information to the new site. I am always looking for information on the players I have written to two relatives of Dewis Brown but without reply.he left the Rotherham area but I Dont know where he went ? Michael

I finished the four seasons (so far) of the hard sci-fi opera The Expanse.... and bought the first book of the literary inspiration (Leviathan Wakes). Let's see if I have to buy them all... I can recommend the series. It's a bit heady and dry sometimes (not quite the spectacle of Star Wars, or the clean fun of Star Trek). So binge watching might be a bit straining, but when it's good, it's good... and eventually, it starts looking like the Mass Effect video game series...especially like the somewhat underrated spin-off Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Not this year. Looked like it last Autumn or so, He seems pretty safe imho. Meaning his obit will post next week lol

Hope all goes well, geezer. Take it easy and all the best to Sean Sr.

Suppose the present situation is much the same by the start of May, what’s going to happen to the VE Day anniversary? Will anyone who actually remembers VE Day be ordered to stay at home? Not to mention the possibility that Dame Vera and the Royal Consort won’t last till then.

George Harrison - Died 29th November 2001 - Hits with The Beatles and as a solo artist and My Sweet Lord made it back into a top 10 hit in 2002

A polish actor by the name of Witold Sadowy recently came out and he's 100 years old.

I think Rogers was in his 50s when this DP started is why.

Richard Tracey, Daily Express journo and BBC reporter turned Conservative MP (Surbiton, 1983–97) then London Assembly Member (2008–2016) dead at 77 according to various tweets. Also Maggie’s Minister for Sport (1985–87).

Hi Michael, Thanks for this, at the post at the very top of this page, you'll see Stan Carr's death details. I'd be very grateful if the Hugman website was updated with some of the information we've found and when I can I'll update the master lists. PS For Hugmans website - Iain Maidment of Reading FC died in 2019 as per gov.uk website.

Thinking of you and sorry for your loss Biblio.

Daft Punk's One More Time can be added to the 2000 list as it features uncredited Romanthony who died on May 7th 2013.

He seems harder to kill off than Rasputin.

Yea but Boris has to play the part of lovable stupid village idiot with messy hair. The only problem ? He's playing it too well. Btw coronavirus should surpass Ebola today with more deaths. It's now third deadliest disease this century behind swine flu and Justin Bieber.

Will it soon be quicker to write down which celebrities haven't got it?

98 today!
