Is it this?

Zoe Dell Nutter dead at 104: https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/actress-pilot-and-philanthropist-zoe-dell-nutter-dies/7mB2GzY60mfzhuNRXnfB9N/ BTW, her Wiki page stinks of being written by a bad PR firm in case anyone planned on checking that out.

As 2/3, as you put it, are of the calibre of Joey Russ, Steve and you, that's no great loss, is it.

I heard his name being thrown around for DDP

He's one for me in the ABC pool if he QOs. That middle 'S' is gotta be worth a bundle, right?

Politicians likely whine at the slightest symptom, and seek treatment immediately. Retired footballers, well....

Time was up for William Hartnell who couldn't Carry On aged 67, 45 years ago today.

They were not all massacred because of the virus after all. They are just waiting to be let loose on the general public. From the BBC: Garden centres across the UK say they still have plants waiting to be sold, despite the impact of the coronavirus lockdown. The industry warned last month that millions of plants may have to be thrown away after centres were forced to close. But Matthew Bailey, general manager of Mortonhall Garden Centre in Edinburgh, said it was "ready to go" if the rules were relaxed. And he stressed they had not been forced to destroy all their stock. "We did give hundreds of flowering house plants away when the lockdown was announced to hospitals because we wanted them to be seen while they were flowering - but we still have thousands more high quality plants left," he said. Staff had continued to water, feed and tend to their plants.

Obit.

Sharadchandra Shankar Shrikhande, Indian mathematician, dead at 102. Blog post. The way mathematicians are covered by the media, he'll be lucky to do better than that.

Tony Lloyd MP is out of ICU and "is on the mend" according to statement from a local Rochdale councillor on Twitter.

No idea personally. As Churchill once said, "it is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma".

If he is actually dead it will be the death of the decade, then again the way it’s started off, it might not be the death of the year.

Genuinely shocked this happened off radar. Quite a colourful life. His parents lobotomised him when he was younger (he had what would now be identified as autism). I imagine his obit will be worth a read!

Oh no, another Reading FC passing this year. Not a good year at all. Dave became a travel agent I think later in life.

Same effect.

And with that is the second non COVID related hit of the month. Sir Creep logic of playing the same person 3 months in a row proved right once again, as after Ernie Thacker proved him right last April, Robert Sirko also proved him right this time. Only difference is that while last he was beating me by a comfortable margin, this time he’s fighting for another day in the cup... 1. Clorox vs Deadsox 9 - 12 2. Sir Creep vs msc 4 - 9 3. Book vs JiroemonKimura 6 - 16 4. Chorizo vs Quim Reaper 12 - 0 5. Grim vs Grobler 6 - 0 6. DeathByArsenic vs Torva 9 - 6 7. An Fear Bag vs YoungWillz 9 - 6 8. Banana vs Death Impends 6 - 15 

She does however feel like someone on borrowed time - partly thanks to most of the ailments above. She feels like she'd fit right in home somewhere between 45 and 50 on the 2021 DL providing she is still breathing on January 1st.

Well, gladly I never caught it! I still went to work almost everyday during the emergency; now active cases (read "sick people") seems to be steadily decreasing in Italy. The worst is over, but no one is too sure about so called "phase 2" as we need to be extremely careful.

Ernest Courant, prominent American physicist supposedly dead less than a month after celebrating his 100th birthday. Interesting background – his father was the prominent German mathematician, Richard Courant. Their family were labelled as Jews by the Nazis purely for their association with Jewish people so they fled to England. After a stint in Cambridge, they then moved permanently to NYC. Can't see anything on Twitter. My FB is playing up today, anyone able to have a dig for posts?

So Deathray is permabanned then.

Eccles McLittle ! That's a rattley name to get your tongue round.

When they said "drug free", they didn't mean "off your meds".

I’ve always pondered the logic of frying an (imitation) cheese sandwich in (imitation) butter, and calling it ‘grilled’.
