It might be a sign but they are both well in their 90s and the US is being ravaged by Corona.That alone is reason not to go

Look at the name of the thread Einstein.

Whilst I have no negative health news to report I note that Jack Higgins books are fucking awesome.

Whilst I have no negative health news to report I note that Jack Higgins the prolific author is now 91 and hasn't published a book since May 2017 - until then he was producing about 2 a year. I'd rather DL missed with Jack Higgins than hit with Sir Lord Captain Sergeant Lieutenant Tom 'I walked round the garden on my zimmer' - the committee need to reimpose some standards into their 50 picks. 'Candidates must be famous enough such that their death is expected to be reported by the UK media; Candidates cannot be famous solely for the fact they are likely to die imminently' Tom spent 99.75 years of his life failing the first test and only passes the second because when he started walking round his garden he was likely to die imminently.

Looks like you posted this at the same time I spotted a mistake. Thanks for spotting Paddyfools score. All corrected now.

I don't understand any of this at all. Sometimes I think life might be passing me by, but am I really missing that much?

more like it depends if he's got a round booked.

While working on my 2020-21 list I noted a missing 4 pt score for Michael Medwin who checked out on Feb 26. That's 3 pts for the alliteration and an extra for a duo, with . . . . damn now I've forgotten who else wisely selected Medwin. Wormfarmer jumps to 22 pts, currently a tie for 18th. I thought I would do better. I started off with a strong list, with 5 of my first 6 names gone. After that, I suffered. Again, I went too obscure and 4 No Obits really hurt, leaving about 18 pts on the slaughterhouse floor. Lack of respect for Randy Romero sure took its toll on this group. Sir Creep, are you hosting Round 4?

Sydney Lotterby supposedly dead at 93. Big time BBC producer – Last of the Summer Wine, Porridge, Some Mother Do Ave Em, The Liver Birds, Yes Minister, Yes Prime Minister, Up Pompeii!, Open All Hours, As Time Goes By... and so on and so forth. Won four BAFTAs and received an OBE so expect an obit within a day if it's true.
