Cunt.

He is awful.

Couldn't he hang on another 24 hours for me for the Cup? Cheers Dove.

Yeah, right.

@NotTheNagsHeadReading is at least trying to contribute some originality. All you do around here is complain constantly.

I reckon Holly would still be alive today if not for the crash. Ditto Ritchie Valens. The Big Bopper would have died at some point in the 1990s.

John Lydon of the butter adverts fame is 65 His wife Nora Foster may be a good bet as her Alzheimer's has got a lot worse in the last couple of years and Lydon is her full-time carer now.

Just remembered that Buddy Holly's widow is still alive currently aged 88, as is his older brother, Larry, who is 95. Feels very weird to me (almost John Tyleresque) given the length of time since Buddy Holly died.

Britain's first black headteacher, who was all over the news last year, Yvonne Connolly, reportedly dead:

Two immortals in a month. Good start

I haven't read the whole thread and I dare say it's been mentioned before but there is a clear correlation between population density and Covid death rates, isn't there. Belgium, the one country* to have done even worse than the UK, has 973 people per square mile. Britain 725, Italy 518, France 319, Spain just 240. Yes France, with a similar population to us, has more than twice the land area. Germany is in the middle somewhere with 603. They managed the first wave well but have lost 47,000 in four months or so. And if you extract England from the rest of the UK our density goes up to a whopping 1,118. On that basis perhaps we haven't done any worse than might have been expected. *with at least 10 million people

I stopped sending him my Tefillim and Tehillah. It was simple prayer fatigue. I assume I was not the only one who felt this was, sorry, Dovid.

Also her grandniece is the actress Rooney Mara star of the Us remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Patricia Rooney, the widow of former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney, has died. She was 88. Patricia Rooney was also the mother of Art Rooney II, president of the NFL`s Pittsburgh Steelers. https://www.steelers.com/news/steelers-mourn-the-loss-of-patricia-rooney-88

I really thought it said Dick Cheney for a second

The case of D.B. Cooper still remains a total mystery and to date it is the only unsolved case of aviation piracy in U.S. history. Sheridan Peterson (wiki), who was perhaps the last of the major suspects in the case, died in early this month aged 94. Several of the people who researched the case closely were determined it was him. Peterson never confessed but would frequently toy with the media. The case will be 50 years old in November, as such likely it will never be solved.

No more physics for John Bardeen after this day 30 years ago, aged 82.

Boys will be boys

Guitar shop assistants' nerves will never be safe for as long as someone knows how to play Smoke on the Water

Well known for his stint at Temple, and for his fiery demeanor, Hall Of Fame coach John Chaney has died at the age of 89.

Leif Erickson left the chaparral on this day 35 years ago, aged 74.

And now Marcel Uderzo (wiki), brother of the above and comic book artist on the Asterix series, has died from COVID-19 aged 87.
