Whoever he was, it's an absolute fucking outrage that he was omitted.

Are you suggesting that we had a 101-year-old billionaire among us, who believed a slight name change would distract attention from that?

Mary Wilson felt like a miss to me.Incredibly obitable as a poet and widow of Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Died aged 101. I just hope they dont make the same mistake with Clarissa Eden if she is still alive at the end of the year.

IF?

Sadly it would emerge that the dishy doctor batted for the other side.

If I die, I'll leave note for a loved one to update y'all here.

Can't see it posted but it was trending on Twitter yesterday. George Galloway has a new daughter - his sixth child.

I think I said it at the time but Jim Bowen has always felt like an obvious miss.

Peter Jennings got his headline on this day 15 years ago, aged 67.

In these angst-ridden emoji/meme-driven times, has this perhaps usurped Mona as the most famous painting(s) in the world? It' might have cheered old Edvard up as he reached for the port bottle.

A strong candidate hahahaha! The only thing the Democratic Party has done right is kept him from talking. The man is dead silent with dementia. The man has serious allegations of sexual harassment against him compared to the fake ones made up about Trump. The man couldn’t even win a primary to save himself and was considered dead until the Democratic Party got so scared of Bernie getting the nomination that they had a bunch of people who were effectively ahead of him pull out. Whose watch did the George Floyd fall underneath Amy Klobachur who let his attackers off in a Democratic state. The Democratic Party is a racist party that runs on promoting fear and mass hysteria in an illusion that they are going to fix something, but design systems meant to keep people down. No modern day president has had to deal with something like Covid and once things go back to normal you should look at where the country was before that hit lowest unemployment rates in years and great economy. Trump can’t get blamed for the results of Covid. The man is going to win despite what the media wants you to think Joe Biden is not America’s choice he is the Democratic Party’s choice in fear of Sanders

I've outlived my dad by years - but, then again, he might still be around if Jack Ruby hadn't shot him!

Wasn't he pipe bomber of the year at some point?
