Since it’s after midnight in the UK, welcome to the club Al Jaffee, legendary Mad Magazine contributor. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jaffee

Saddening really. Read she put off going to the doctors because of the pandemic. Going to be millions more like her sadly.

Larry Storch, US actor and comedian. OK, not a marquee name but as soon as you see him, it's 'oh yeah him'. Made his name back in the sixties in 'F Troop' and numerous television appearances, 'Columbo' , 'The Persuaders'. Recently updated his Facebook page with a pic of him getting his second jab for Covid-19, so he's still cracking on at 98 years old...

Be a month on Tuesday since he was admitted

I am serious. An international force should invade Brazil and depose their government. I think Bolsonaro is an arch-demon walking the earth. They let the virus run wild and it's only a question of time until a mutation is created that makes all the vaccines useless.

Sally Grossman, the widow of one-time Bob Dylan manager Albert Grossman and who appeared on the cover of Dylan's Bringing it All Back Home album, has died. She was 81. https://bestclassicbands.com/sally-grossman-obituary-widow-albert-grossman-3-12-21/

So's the whole crowd watching my encounter with Markb4

Carmel Quinn (wiki), Irish entertainer on Broadway, U.S. television and radio, dead at 95. A DDP pick.

How on Earth has he not left hospital or snuffed it yet? He looked like he was a stubbed toe away from turning to dust after his last visit.

It's been over three weeks since we had a major high profile celebrity death. The last high profile celebrity death was Rush Limbaugh on February 17. Yes, we've had celebrity deaths, but nothing real high profile in a while. Also, I think 2021 is already proving to be a much better year, and I predicted that we will have a lot less celebrity deaths. At least in the United States, the pandemic appears to be on the wane, and doctors are now saying things can get back to normal as early as APRIL, and definitely by summer. Right now, many states have lifted all restrictions and have even lifted mask mandates. Many offices are reopening. A lot of my friends who have been working from home are ordered to go back to the office full time. We've had a ton of celebrities who had brushes with death this year and survived, including Dr. Dre, Tiger Woods and Ashley Judd. All had near death experiences and survived. All were almost swallowed by the jaws of death. Could their recovery mirror 2021? If this were 2020, all three would have died and joined the ranks of Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, and Naya Rivera. If 2020 was the year of death, 2021 is the year of recovery and comebacks... And 2022 will be the year of hedonism and good times... Maybe some force out there is saying, "okay, we killed enough young celebrities. I will spare Tiger Woods and Ashley Judd, and hope humanity can follow their steps and move on the path towards recovery." Also, New Jersey just legalized weed. Fans can now attend sporting events in New York. Theaters in West End will open soon, and Broadway is likely to follow... So no matter what, 2021 is already a better year.

No you were spot on

If you’re at all prone to paranoia that’s probably wise.

Now that this door has been opened, let’s kick it in! But where the fuck else is one supposed to post a NASA engineer? Kenneth C. Kelly, an electronics engineer whose antenna designs contributed to the race to the moon, made satellite TV and radio possible and helped NASA communicate with Mars rovers and search for extraterrestrials, has died. The black 92-year-old also worked to erase race barriers in the Navy, in California housing and on the newspaper comics pages. Kelly had Parkinson's disease before his death on Feb. 27. Kelly was awarded more than a dozen patentsfor innovations in radar and antenna technology. SC

The radio kingmaker who made radio stars of names like Alan Jones, Mike Walsh, Ray Hadley and Stan Zemanek has died at the age of 89. John Brennan, affectionately known as Brenno, is being mourned as perhaps the most influential figure in Australian radio. He passed away suddenly at his retirement village home last night and is survived by his wife of 67 years, his two sons and three grandchildren. SC

This seems appropriate:

Doesn't appear to be much middle ground with British actors - either they die young-ish or they are around forever! And whilst I said he was grumpy, tbf, Lincoln was screwed over for substantial royalties due to an internal BBC dispute in the 1960s and has never gotten over it His co-writer at the time, the late Mervyn Haisman, was more of a live and let live type willing to forgive as long as he got paid in the future, whereas Henry Lincoln is very much a "I shall forgive you over my dead body!" When Dan Brown borrowed the Da Vinci Code plot for his book, he kept out of the lawsuit, and interviews at the time had it as yet another chip on his shoulder. But given circumstances, maybe fair enough!

This guy. I have nearly no idea who he is but the thread is 88 pages long, the man doesn't even look that bad and is only 76.

As an American, I can only offer my deepest apologies that this narcissist has been unleashed on you, and now, clearly, back to her home shores. Please know that there are MANY Americans who see through all her lies and manipulation that poor, dumb Harry is too thick to understand. She has isolated him from family, friends, and country like a champ, a classic narcissist move. She's a horrible human being, and together they are a blight. They do not elevate any conversation or situation. They exude selfishness. I wish that Parliament would rescind their titles, because if I understand correctly, that's the only institution that can make that decision. I'm sure there are more pressing matters for your politicians to be concerned with, but the less these two grifters have to sell or market themselves on, the better. I am sickened by them. Pretty flippin' pissed off. I dislike them with an intensity that is quite unhealthy. If only the Royal Family had a "fixer" who could help "sort out" the situation behind the scenes. Apologies to my birth nation, England. America has NOT done well by you with American divorcees marrying into your Royal family.

The biggest problem I have with the vain self-obsessed pair is that by being so vague they simultaneously have trashed the entire royal family by association yet haven`t given any details anyone can dispute or investigate.I couldn`t find any claim they made that anyone could investigate. What is the palace supposed to do? If they say they can`t investigate which they can`t really as it is so vague as we don`t know who said what where or why they will be called stuffy out of touch heartless and racist.If someone came to me at work and told me I am alledging X Y and Z happen but won`t tell you where when or whom it occurred I would have to say truthfully if that is the case I can`t do anything. I only watched it as everyone was talking about it. It looked very stage managed rehearsed and not overly convincing and it was much to do about nothing in terms of substance. If you can`t name people who have wronged you don`t bother speaking out. They wanted it vague so there could be no repercussions except revenge via reputational damage to the institution. That is the only conclusion I can deduce. They must have known this would seriously hurt the Queen and other senior royals on quite a deep emotional level at a time when old Phil is clearly getting towards the end. What I find most telling is that this is a bigger scandal than Prince Andrew which beggars belief considering the seriousness of the allegations against him and the fact far more is documented and known about the circumstances surrounding that saga.

It's hard to express the depth of my contempt for this loathsome pair.

.......but they had every idea it would be transmitted while he was still in hospital. They let it run, trashing the family and fucking over our country while his grandfather lay in hospital 'recovering' from heart surgery and fucked plumbing. All heart, those pair of cunts, eh.
