Was interviewed on the Andrew Marr show this morning. No coughing or other obvious signs of weakness. Also appeared quite chipper. Not worth having on the list in the immediate future.

Who Gets a Chop for 2021 Form Guide #1 Hands on raw meat you say? Alive or dead you don't say? Let me present to you Katie Price

Turning 93 in January and a worthy consideration for the 2021 list. Here's the Desmond Morris thread.

Simple pool: pick three celebrities you think we'll see handling raw meat during 2021. Points are as follows: Globally recognised photo agency (Getty, AP, UPI, whichever) publishes a photo of your celebrity handling raw meat: 10 points Celebrity publishes social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok) photo or footage of them handling raw meat: 5 points DDP QO source contains print mention of your celebrity handling raw meat: 3 points Your celebrity handles raw meat on national television (footage must have been recorded in 2021): 1 point No points are awarded for cooked meat. Points can be awarded from different categories for the same incident (so if Yannick Bolasie publishes a snapchat of him making meatballs, and The Sun then does a story about it, that's 8 points). However, you can't get multiple points from the same category for the same incident (no matter how many Snapchats Yannick Bolasie sends, it's still only 5 points total from the social media category). Double points if the raw meat in question is a lamb chop. Any celebrity who is a chef by professional, has previously published recipes as either an amateur or professional, or is taking part in a televised cooking contest/show is disqualified from entering. If any of your celebrities die from salmonella, campylobacter or other uncooked-meat-related food poisoning, you lose 500 points.

Morris had the good fortune not to be married to Esther Ratbag, that's how I differentiate them.

Don't know why but I always get him mixed up with Desmond Wilcox who died 20 years ago.

Teddy Dixon, who helped liberate the Dachau concentration camp in 1945, has died. He was 100. Dixon was considered a war hero in Belfast, where he lived most of his life. He also helped recover stolen art. Similar acts were the inspiration for the George Clooney film Monuments Men, the premiere of which he attended in Belfast. https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/people/dachau-liberator-teddy-dixon-has-died-aged-100-belfast-3043537

Got my Priti Patel playlist on.

We've had this chat before, right but... Kim Novak is due to turn 88 in February, obitable, low profile by choice and a survivor of a serious cancer battle ten years back. Obviously, this is not a recent photo

I am being forced to watch the new season of The Crown right now.... how is Michael Fagan doing?

Bou’s still around, just not posting. As for Cat...I’m concerned. I hope he’s alright.
