Stephen Fry will make me go fully IainLodger when he dies (hopefully decades away).

Franz Jalics died on 13th February due to COVID, at 93. One of the two priests who were sold to authorities by a young Bergoglio.

Aye, actually made the main bulletin on Radio Four If she was scared of him, mind...she can come out now!

Harold J. Winston, the former head of US Chess, has died. https://new.uschess.org/news/former-us-chess-president-harold-j-winston-has-died

Gutted for them. That's them back in the spotlight...which they clearly hate.

Eileen Ash has received both of her COVID shots now. 110 in November. Some great clips of her on YouTube. Very likeable lady, hope she’s around for a while yet.

Kenny Jackett stepping away from his duties at Portsmouth as of Thursday due to "a medical procedure" Its unknown what the medical procedure was

Legendary tutor from my University days, Byron Criddle has died aged 78 due to COVID.

*Sigh* Surely, if we’re doing this, we’ve got to talk big names right? Not dull unknowns like Dovid Solofuckoffovovovofovofovich or <insert random centenarian here>. I got hits with John Hurt and Aretha Franklin, for example, that caught me by surprise.

Tom Lee, the former CEO of Parks Canada and an Order of Canada recipient, has died. https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2021/02/former-ceo-parks-canada-has-died

They did keep referencing it through the Moore era - watch the scene in Spy Who Loved Me where a single reference to her death makes Bond pale. And not how Moore's Bond goes fucking apeshit whenever a bad guy threatens a woman. Lazenby seems like a decent enough chap, but OHMSS (a decent enough film lifted up by the awesome Diana Rigg, oh yes!!!) is pretty solid proof he couldn't act for toffee, and him quitting the role (or getting sacked, depending who you listen to) is a fairly big reason the Bond films didn't die out in the 70s. (I know the joke was Roger Moore couldn't act either, but that's rubbish - he had a very sparse acting style but he's very good at repressed middle aged stuff in films like The Man Who Haunted Himself. Although I would say that, he's my favourite Bond.)

Again, I think you are underestimating his grip. He’s still beloved by his base. Impeachment proved that with most republicans voting to acquit him. And even the few Republicans who did convict, they are being scrutinized by Republicans within the party. Trump and what he stands for will last a long time, social media or without it. Trust me, I would love for what he did to die down and have our country move on from this, but what time and time again proves is that he is very resilient to almost any sorts of criticism.

All very reassuring for any dead pooler depending on his death by December's end, then - DL Cup action with MPFC a distinct possibility

He wasn't at the funeral of his brother. Apparently in such a shitty condition he couldn't attend. Attending the funeral would've probably been a death sentence for him anyways, not only because of the covid but also because he'll probably turn into dust if exposed to air

For sure I thought this was a hit for the DL50...

Menem menem, dead dead dead dead dead. The former President of Argentina had a lot wrong with him and as such he was a very popular pick in the cup. So popular in fact that all except one tie gets some points. First, CalebH cashes his joker, and as such he’s now one point from overtaking Baby Blue. Well, until you realize they also had him. So far it seems like one Milford Graves is the decider of the match. Just like the DDP potentially. Djemba Djemba was the other joker that round, and he now holds a 9 point lead against Joemoneypenny. Charles De Gaulle scores his first points against markb4, which now has every single tie having at least some points in round. Both Old Crem and Yorkshire had Menem which leaves that match effectively the same score difference. Great Uncle Bulgaria gets a bigger lead against Gooseberry, who predicted the enema would ravage in 2021. Well, it seems like it has, just not necessarily with the members he picked. Oh, and ThereWillBeDeaths7 continues his massive lead over GuyFromFuture. Er, some advice for the latter, you might want to check your time machine to make sure you’re not accidentally sending yourself to February 2021 BC... Baby Blue vs CalebH 13 - 9 Djemba Djemba vs JoeMoneyPenny 12 - 3 BuffaloPhil vs nantonian2013 3 - 6 The Old Crem vs YorkshireBanker 3 - 9 Markb4 vs Charles De Gaulle 0 - 3 GreatUncleBulgaria vs Gooseberry Crumble 6 - 0 ThereWillBeDeaths7 vs GuyFromFuture 10 - 0

The family continue to launch products in his name:

Astrid 89 today.

Maybe the mods can have a clear out of all the sock accounts on here. Then finish off with the known bell ends.

She will take the title after the death of her husband at age 125.

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.

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.
