Biden has a new hat.

Oh, this is so amazing:

I don't think the Duchess of Kent has been an official working royal for a long time. She does her own thing. She more or less dropped her royal title, and she and the Duke have been married in name only for years.

34. Geoffrey Palmer sp, gn, to, af As the slaughter of James Bond actors goes on Geoffrey Palmer was the Fourth hit for three players and the third hit for @An Fear BeagBeag but all in different categories Scoreboards updated

Comedy writer Roy Clarke will be 91 in January. He created the well loved sitcoms such as Last of the Summer Wine, Keeping Up Appearances & Open All Hours.

Whilst we import a lot of US Drama and comedy with game shows we tend to import the format Match Game became Blankety Blank Hollywood Squares became Celebrity Squares We had our own version of Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right

Yes, I was a little surprised... 21 out of 23 players did include Alex Trebek: Bibliogryphon, Book, BuffaloPhil, Cant Wait, CaptainChorizo, Clorox Bleachman, Etushispushingupdaisies, gcreptile, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, msc, nantonian2013, Prophet, RadGuy, Sean, The Mad Hatter, The Old Crem, theoldlady, ThereWillBeDeaths7, TomTomTelekom and Vaagheid plus the Committee.

Cheers, there's this from Blitz Magazine's Editor: Can't find a write up in the press though!

Apologies if I missed this,but I heard a rumour that Derek Quinn guitarist with Freddie and the Dreamers had died late last month.

At the Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas!

Updated for the death of Derek Quinn. The two surviving members both turning 80 next year! Thanks @redrumours!

Another good reason for block-booking those Tesco delivery slots then.

No, I never heard of him outside this site. I did put him in my DDP team once I understood his fame status. I suppose an equivalent would be someone like Bob Holness or Richard Whiteley.

That 1968 article also mentioned her as working as a session singer and her hubby was working in the record biz. Strong words with IMDB? Lets see if I can dig anything up on Arlene - not hopeful!

Given how popular quiz shows are in this country It is strange how "Jeopardy!" never caught on in the UK despite several attempts at a British version.

HUGE hit comes our way with the death of the great Alex Trebek. No bonuses, Daily Double or otherwise. But either way, there's no Holzhauer/Jennings-styled romps in this game so the 17 correct buzzers-in carry a crucial change. 12 main hits. Etushispushingupdaisies - 40. John Key, msc - 35. Book, RadGuy, Sean, The Unknown Man - 30. Clorox Bleachman, markb4, Sir Creep, the_engineer - 25. Prophet - 15. (additionally - I had failed to notice the base value of his Gibson hit was 30, not 25 - so he loses an extra point with these adjustments) 5 sub hits. Second sub hit for Banana, gcreptile, theoldlady - 50. First sub hit for Quim Reaper and YorkshireBanker - 25. And it is that sub for YorkshireBanker that scoots him past maryport to reclaim the top. Book closes in the gap as well. As stands, the top three are all able to win on another hit: Yorkshire - sod else happening. maryport - David Gulpilil or Nick Hitchon. Additionally, James Church's base points would initially take him past Yorkshire, but at a glance he likely would receive some sort of fringes penalty if he goes. Book - Peter Tobin would receive a Crimes Against Humanity bonus if he dies - which would narrowly be enough. 1. YorkshireBanker 330 2. maryportfuncity 308 3. Book 296 4.

Giorgio Napolitano (former Italian President) and Arnaldo Forlani (former Italian Prime Minister) will be turning 96 in 2021 and are two more reasonable 2021 DL candidates to shield Clint Eastwood and Mel Brooks from appearing on next year’s list.

@Lord Fellatio Nelson (to save me quoting that massive post) @msc put it far better than I could as to why I'd disagree with a pretty big chunk of what you said. Regarding Biden hobbling across the line, that's just perception due to the way states have counted mail-in ballots. In an ordinary election, Biden would have been declared winner on the night having won Pennsylvania. They'd probably be waiting on Nevada, Arizona and Georgia because they're very close, but the narrative would have been the Democrats flipping back Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, while also potentially flipping Georgia and Arizona, which haven't voted Democrat since the 90s and even then didn't get close to 50% due to third party candidates (Ross Perot). He hasn't blown Trump away, but I don't even think that's possible anymore with the polarisation of politics. Biden is currently sitting on 50.6% of the popular vote, which will probably go up when all ballots are counted. Reagan got 50.7% in 1980 and earned 489 out of 538 votes in the Electoral College. Those days are long past. A third of the country votes Democrat, a third of the country votes Republican and it all comes down to a handful of states: win them all and you end up close to 400, only win a few and you may scrape 280. The polls have consistently said Biden would win and he has, it sounded like a certainty because there were lots of possible paths. In the end, all the narrow wins aside, he's done exactly what he said he would do: win back the Rust Belt. Those three states, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania were all he needed to turn a 306-232 defeat into a 273-265 victory (and it will be considerably higher than that in the end).

Would be the only COVID hit on here everyone would cheer at.If it kills him guess Covid will have done something good for a change.

He doesn`t have Corona and never did he was in hospital for COPD and says he was so unwell he wished it had been Corona but article acknowledges it would kill him if he got it.Says he still smokes cigarettes even though he is pictured on Oxygen so always a chance he could blow himself up.

One hour until the polls in parts of Indiana and Kentucky close.

Although official figures in 2013 put it closer to 995 women and 5 young girls. (this later got corrected by the courts back up to the original 1,000).
