Shoulda known..... post an update for one wee death, and the obsolescence starts rolling in. Captain Tom Moore scores a scant 2 points for all those who had him (all letter M). Hal Holbrook's passing scored 3 points total. Yvonne was the only player who scored hits on both names, and she has quietly (in the matter of 48 hours) climbed into 8th place.

I'm waiting for a plane carrying Christy Moore, Pink and The Proclaimers to crash on Dartmoor.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, who’s 79, hospitalised for emergency surgery after abdominal problems.

If there’s one thing Bob Dole can write it’s Bob Dole. Bob Dole was never shy in mentioning Bob Dole when Bob Dole was campaign for Bob Dole.

Kazakh oligarch and mining magnate Alijan Ibragimov dead at 66. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alijan_Ibragimov He was part of a well known Kazakh oligarch group called the "trio" along with billionaires Alexander Mashkevich and Patokh Chodiev. These three men born in the early 1950s made their fortune through deals in minerals, oil, gas and banking.

It depends. Were you talking about how he looked before or after the crash?

Hmm... Just searched Dave Swarbrick on DL forums and couldn't find a "risen" thread. Significant since Swarbrick would have been in it because he famously read his own obituaries when another Dave Swarbrick died and a few papers unleashed the pre-prepared obit for the Fairport Convention fiddler. Maybe this thread will rise from the almost-dead!

Melanie Safka is 74 and gives me an opportunity to post this and remember Pans People doing their thing to it on TOTP:

Captain Tom Moore has died which will be a hit for Uncle Bulgaria, Old Lady, Old Crem and me

Admins. Please....

Death Notice for Anthony Dawes: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/247577/dawes Might obit formally, in 3 or 4 months...

Just checked the oldest lists on Who’s Who. Sir Patrick Duffy is now the oldest living Knight Bachelor following the death of Sir Tom Moore.

This is the moment the other Betty found out: Picture

Perhaps it's a love square, a ménage à quatre.

Talking shite again. What kind of fucking idiot flies abroad during a pandemic?

Same person me and @Ulitzer95 agreed on in the Tony Bennett thread, when we forgot Captain Tom was now a thing. Jane Morgan, 97 in May, was #1 in 1959 with 'The Day the Rains Came'. Tony Bennett is currently still 2nd at 95 in August.

Particularly so when Slovenia was part of the former Yugoslavia and hundreds of miles away from the Soviet Union.

Betty now has the acolade of the oldest living female former Labour MP now Maureen Colquhoun has died.

Heard on Radio 1 earlier some kind of new track that sampled this. It was toss but at least it reminded me how great this is.

Ken Bruce is 70 today

Dee Radio presenter Mike James has been found dead in his studio during his show. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2021/02/dee-radio-presenter-mike-james-found-dead-in-studio/ Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'dead air'.

Was about to say he has alzheimers

Yet more undertones of “why does nobody like my *brilliant* posts?”

Where's the "no more deaths" option?
