As said elsewhere, Denny O’Neil was a key figure in comics’ “Bronze Age”, especially at DC, where he was a leading writer of “relevant” stories in which superheroes tackled racism, pollution, drugs etc. All extremely dated now, but nonetheless fun to read.

People often wonder where the line is for politicians getting Qualifying Obits. Well, Sir Frederick Ballantyne, who retire last year due to ill health, died a few months ago without a single qualifying obit of notice. So you can all safely take all "Queen's Governor-Generals of St Vincent and the Grenadines" off your longlists for future reference. I don't know how your 2021 DDP teams will survive this stunning news.

Probably the most definite for The Chequers though it may be all the players were involved somewhere. See the picture here and the line up (some mis-spellings? Spears and Speers?): http://www.45spaces.com/pop-stars/r.php?r=pop772900 Think that's me for this section. Cats UK - turning turning over stuff and coming up with nowt. Carvells - Stapleford working for Resonance FM; Griffiths takes up photography and moves to Tennessee, who knows where, Couloris I've heard or seen that name before somewhere but can't remember, Dunstan eludes. It's good because you are obviously getting clued in the searches leaving me with nothing.

It’s like you OWN the book!

Denny O'Neil comics writer and editor has died at 81 https://www.gamesradar.com/legendary-batman-writer-denny-oneil-dies-at-age-81/ I don't know where could be

If the Maryport-run Deathrace 2010 is anything to go by, the winner will be "no one, f***in' no one", and the burden of shame shall hang over all who participated.

How do some general public not see that when a lot (not all) of these comedy scenes were written they are directing the mockery at the actual racist and making them look like the dick, not mocking the race itself, but people do like to miss the point in the name of a massive leap on to a passing bandwagon. Everyone who starred in Mind Your Language might as well kill themselves now.

The point in that scene is that the Major complains about a racial slur confounding the audience intially only to be revealed that the reason for his complaint was it was the wrong racial slur. The racism is actually being called out by the writing but some may not comprehend the subtly of it.

Ok heres a simple solution for those who don't like Little Britain/Inbetweeners/Gavin and Stacey/whatever tf is next to be cancelled: DONT LIKE IT? DONT WATCH IT!

Dreamt that I was watching tv and they were showing lots of archive footage of The Rolling Stones and I was expecting it to be announced that one of them had died but it turned out to be a debate on whether Mick Jagger was sexy or not.

Jesus Christ!
