Holy shit, I got scared for a second when I saw activity on a Shirley Bassey thread. Had no idea who she was until I watched the 2013 Oscars. At first I was like, wow, this lady has amazing presence and a great voice, especially for someone older. Then I saw exactly how old she was at the time, and to still be able to sing like that? Mariah Carey's voice basically left her at 35, and this woman is still belting it out in her 70's? I was blown away. Since then I've certainly familiarized myself with who she is. What a legendary performer. Don't you fucking dare fuck with Shirley Bassey, 2020!

Found 2 pictures of my great great grandmother (Edith Flowers - neé Summers - 1884 - 1969) in my uncle's attic. Edith's husband, James Flowers, was one of the people who created the General Workers Union - along with Labour politician Ernest Bevin.

That'll be the thorny bit in any future Scotland/England independence settlement, when the overall loser is forced to keep Newcastle.

Fair enough - though if you're really desperate to find someone it's useful to take what details you have and file a fraudulent benefits claim in their name. The sniffers they put on running that scum to ground can find anyone!

NOT DEAD DISCLAIMER The Sun decided to track down Willie Nelson in self-isolation for an interview and photo. Pretty much follows the news of most living picks on the list: he's staying indoors away from covid like a sensible 87 year old guy with health issues.

Oh aye, so now the same government has arranged their arrest. Actually - the BBC are reporting: "Beirutis have been unimpressed, seeing it as another attempt by the political elite to dodge the blame for disaster." Silver linings - maybe they'll storm to paralympic glory in a few years

There is a thread for scientists but speaking as a scientist Lovelock is one of the few who would be recognisable outside of the science field. James Watson is the other one and he actually looks worse than Lovelock atm.

As formerly seen in the Stats thread, but it's a bit lost in the shuffle here. So here is a thread for quick reference on who won all the various Deathlist forum (and related) deadpools.

How many more have the committee got wrong over the years? Your chance to remind the committee here. The big question now is who on the 2020 list will survive, be dropped from 2021 and then die? Your thoughts and suggestions.

Latest Tory gaffe dump: they’ve spent £150million on 50 million masks that are totally unusable, from an offshore banker with no history of supplying medical equipment. Captain Tom’s going to have to drag his sorry arse around his garden another 500 times or so to pay for this bollocks.

I remember seeing Dave play a local pub several times during early 1990s as part of a duo. If only I could remember his accent!

Carlsberg don't do car bombs.... But if they did Might stop nicking Sicki jokes for a few days now

Her swansong perhaps. 'Dame Shirley Bassey to release first new album in five years'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-53669918

Doris Buffett, a philanthropist known as "the retail philanthropist" has died aged 92. She was suffering from Alzheimer's since 2016. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/05/business/doris-buffett-the-familys-retail-philanthropist-dies-at-92.html

There's a small snippet of him in this video featuring Carl Reiner which was filmed presumably after his 93rd (he states his age), in which he looks rather gaunt:

@msc Just if you are struggling for a news spot on the DDP, here's a lovely recent story on John Cruickshank VC: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeen/2240459/woman-thanks-aberdeen-war-hero-for-miracle-rescue-of-her-australian-pilot-dad/ Nice for me to have something positive to post, rather than the miserableness of trembling low hanging fruit....

Andreas Meyer-Landrut turns 92 next year. He was chief of staff to former German President Richard Von Weizsacker,but more importantly is the grandfather of 2010 Eurovision Winner Lena

One of a few YouTube clips - agreed, not for the nervous

You're in the clear there, time, @Bibliogryphon picked cricket in the first round! And to keep it in the collective consciousness: can an admin change the title to include 'III'. Thank you.

This is not a recent pic of her, She can’t even walk anymore, I wouldn’t be surprised is She dies before 2021 honestly, she is frail for years now

Lifted from Sickipedia but... Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to name her spouse. Seeing as wives cannot be compelled to testify against their husbands, I'm off to the bookies to bet on her appearing in court as Ghislaine Maxwell - Windsor... AND Pizza Express to close 67 outlets. Nothing to do with Corona, just worried about Prince Andrew using them as alibis.

Prince Philip R.I.P. Why they stuffed his corpse and pretended he is still alive I have no idea!

Just to be my usual cuntish self, that Verhofstadt was basically a drunken tetchy Belgian version of Boris. The Belgians were delighted when he fucked off to the EU. We used to have running trade in sending annoying British politicians to the EU to fuck off the rest of Europe instead. But anyhow, in this specific case, Duncan Smith voted for this deal, which is probably about 99% similar to the thing May tried to pass for years, to "get Brexit done" and only now is all "hang on, I disagree with the thing I voted for." Because he's an idiot who would lose a fight to a cuddly toy. Government's spent much of the last 4 years pissing around doing fuck all and screwing things up, when if they'd had an ounce of pragmatism and done a deal with the "just get a deal done" Labour group (or you know, not held an election as they had a fucking majority), they could have passed the Norway option Farage banged on about for years in 2017-18 and worked about fixing stuff. Instead, normal hard working folks household budgets and savings have been fucked for half a decade while a boring never ending House of Commons X-Factor tournament goes on among the government front benches.

My dad at his first communion. He was Catholic, I am not. We didn't actually know this picture existed until last year as he was always very secretive about his childhood.

...and The Devil is six...
