    Since nobody's taken this high likely number of deaths, 33 it is all hail the mighty enema!

    I'm not really sure, especially if said enema is true. I would say Lester Piggott and John Edrich are the two most likely to see another year, but I'm not 100% sure on that. We'll just have to wait and see...

    My two aunts and uncle (deceased) on VE day (mum wasn't born until the 50's). My youngest aunt was born in 1941 I think and so my grandmother was allowed to evacuate with her kids to the country due to her daughter being so young. Anyone else have any images from VE Day?

    Death notice for 1930s child actor Martin Spellman who has died aged 94. Career was finished by 1941, at which point the U.S. was entering WWII and he enlisted to serve. Later worked in finance and insurance... well everyone sells their soul eventually.

    James Caan seems to have deleted this tweet now, so perhaps the wheelchair is no longer as temporary as he initially thought?

    I’m intrigued why you are so fast to say Biden’s a paedo when there’s a great deal more pointing to Trump liking them very, very young.

    I just realised that because I use the old family computer and there are saved stuff from when mum was using it, the back up of family tree photos would be here. Low and behold and 20 minutes of searching I have some images - though not sure on everyone's names or when they were taken: This is titled - "Walker family with Daisy" My mum was born 1953, this is her parents, brother and two sisters in 1951 on a seaside trip. Now only my two aunts are still alive in the photo. I don't know who these people are but it is titled "4 generations" And of course I had a relative with this name. Meet "Percy Charles with his mother Fanny Tutton":

    William Cross Smithson - a lovely Englishman - and his Metis (half-breed) wife Julia (no surname known), were a couple of the original pioneers that settled Kelowna, BC in the mid 1800s. In fact he had the first orchard (Kelowna now famous for) and gave property for the first school. They are my GG-Grandparents. There are no photos of their eldest child, my G-Grandmother Rose Smithson (b 1868). There is, however this fantastic photo of her sister, Eusebia Smithson. Is that Injun enough for you?! She was born in the late 1870s, putting this photo 1900? Rose Smithson would marry François Bouvette, a Metis who came from Pembina, ND. Their eldest daughter Emma (the first child ever born in the new Kelowna hospital) would marry some crazy Irishman from Belfast, Charles Armstrong, who after graduating military school was serving some military something-or-other on behalf of the UK in British Columbia when he saw a fine local girl, eloped before running off to war, and the rest is history. After WWI (I have about 250 letters he wrote to her while serving), he gathered up his bride and moved to Detroit. About 45 years and two generations later, a wee bairn named Sir Creep took his place on this big blue marble.

    This is probably the oldest family photo I have. It's on glass. Aunt Agnes, 1829 - 1899. She was the elder half-sister of my great-grandfather - and also his first cousin. Agnes was the youngest of five children but her father died a few months after she was born, and her mother then shacked up with his brother. At that time the Church of England prohibited marriage between in-laws, so they "lived in sin" for a while, producing two more children including my great-grandfather. They married in 1835 away from their home parish, presumably to beat the new Marriages Act which would have legally prohibited their marriage. Better to fall foul of the Church than the Law! Such marriages remained illegal until 1921. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deceased_Wife's_Sister's_Marriage_Act_1907

    My Gr-Grandfather John Edward Cole and his family circa 1924. My Grandfather (John George) is back right with my Grandmother (Kate Duncan Anderson) in front of him and my father (Richard Anderson) on her knee. John Edward Cole and his wife Margaret Duncan were presented a Viennese walk clock as a wedding present in 1894 which is still in my possession.
