    A true legend of the game, Kapil Dev has just been under the knife. India isn't a great place to get sick right now, so the cricket world will be wishing for a swift recovery. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-54660858

    Ebbe Skovdahl, manager of the all-conquering (at least domestically) Brondby team of the 90s, dead at 75. He had less-successful spells in charge of Benfica and Aberdeen, and was also uncle of the Laudrup brothers.

    Managed to find the birth years of Timmy and John. They were sharing a property in Camden, NJ with Butch in 1985. Still can't get Jimmy and William. The one above could very well be William but I'm running around in circles here sadly. Most of the brothers appear to be on Facebook but privacy settings prevent me from seeing birthdays etc. I think they're all still in Camden, NJ. 4/6 ain't bad!

    Slick. Billy Ingram. Found this New Jersey reference to Billy's son Nate (Nathan): https://www.njpen.com/beats-business-and-building-relationships-in-collingswood-high-school-digital-production-class/ Now there is a Nathan T Ingram from....Camden, New Jersey https://www.spokeo.com/Nathan-Ingram/New-Jersey/Camden/p40183698132 related to a William Ingram who is aged 66? Too good to be true? Can you use this to extrapolate out for other family members?

    Are you predicting a Wombling Merry Christmas? For us wombles perhaps, we're used to hiding underground in the burrow and avoiding humans. We won't be wombling in the snow all day long this year though. For humans it's going to be bloody miserable.....

    Marge Champion who modelled for Disney's Snow White has died aged 101 Years old. I remember her from some of the old Hollywood musicals where she partnered her husband at the time, Gower Champion. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2020/10/23/marge-champion-dancer-modelled-disneys-snow-white-starred-show/

    The celebrity is their own product. You as the fan are consuming the product. People don't just collectively get together and randomly pick out someone off to street to fawn over. I'm a fan of Skittles. Skittles doesn't owe me anything. I'm a fan of Skittles because I enjoy them.

    Thanks - yes, it was particularly cruel as she had had really bad reactions to the chemo, then halfway through the course they did a scan which showed that the tumour had already shrunk to a fifth of its size. Much celebration, then the same night she found a little sore on her waist. It was a secondary cancer and two weeks later she was dead. That's what lymphoma can do, folks.
