Gary Neville is celebrating the news in quite a novel way.

Aa well as one of the greatest albums ever, he also wrote total eclipse of the heart. Legend.

I know Jim Steinman is already mentioned in Meatloaf's thread but not mentioning him in this category would be a great disservice to his legacy. Say what you want about this guy but he was the godfather of the power ballad.

Twitter remains a source of wonder, revealing that burlesque performer and long term DDP Pick Tempest Storm has sashayed off the stage. There's actually news reports as well...ah well.

Monte Hellman, the American film director, producer and editor of films as "The shooting" and "The cockfighter" dies at 91. https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/entertainment/monte-hellman-two-lane-blacktop-231744476 The cult director (admired for Quentin Tarantino) gained practical experience in the late 1950s as an assistant editor for television. It was on this occasion that Hellman met producer Roger Corman, who is known for promoting many talent. He said: "I just did it, and I probably made more mistakes than the average person who makes a first film".

Surely the national treasure that is Sir David Attenborough...

While we are waiting, a musical interlude:

I am presuming that you are describing a hypothetical situation or is Robbie Coltrane likely to cark it this week? If an obit comes in that ends the game then I will not be waiting for an obit for another potential hit from several weeks ago.

Tony Danza, US Actor, Taxi, Who's The Boss?, is 70 today

Is he not remotely notable in the Brighton area? Surely the local press at least would have mention that Hollywood actor and Brighton resident Andre Maranne has died at the age of whatever he is? We'll wait and see I guess. But the Scavenger Hunt could have a messy end if someone else dies before we get confirmation!

The Queen will most likely live to be over 100. While she will miss her husband and they were together for a long time it wasn't exactly a conventional marriage; they largely slept in separate bedrooms and virtually lived apart 2017-20. I don't doubt that she is grieving him, but I think she is perfectly capable of functioning when she gets over the initial shock/grief (the shock you get when a loved one dies even though you know they are dying). I agree that Juan Carlos will likely be the first to go. Probably one of those who goes suddenly in the night. Unless he pulls a Rainier III...

If (so called) people power can manage this in a day, there might be some hope it can be successful for something important too. (He said pompously).

Ted Nugent has contracted COVID, turns out it's not a hoax anymore

As long as Michael Palin's still awesome, I'm cool... Yeah, and its nowt to do with right/left either. There are a fair few conservative minded comics who are bloody hilarious* and a few heart on sleeve socialist ones who are as dull as dishwater .** And I've had and got ancient relatives who make me look like Boris Johnson in comparison in their politics! *To name but a few - Kenneth Williams, Kenny Everett, Alan Coren, Tommy Cooper iirc. ** Most of the alternate comics from the 80s who weren't Rik Mayall/Ade or Alexei Sayle but both are my own subjective view of course...

I think it's an exceedingly hot chilli from Dorset.

Thanks @edm88. I've updated the previous page on the Forum and also submitted to IMDb for approval. So far they've updated the Jerry Holmes and Jacques Roux pages. Still waiting on the other 3 to get the green light.

Sorry, I'm here looking at the news headlines ready to hook him up to a formaldehyde cocktail. LMAO!

Actually they did mention that there was one "friend", but were clearly unaware that she's part of the extended family as well. Indeed, there is that too. Pretty much. The BBC misleadingly stated that she was representing her husband who was unable to attend due to illness - the truth being that he's persona non grata in the RF since he cheated on Penny and pissed off to the Bahamas to shack up with his floozy. Penny threw him out when he came crawling back and his daughter refused to have him give her away when she got married - Prince Charles obliged instead. As Windsor said, he's a waste of space and the BBC shouldn't have been so tactful. Penny is as much a family member as any of the other spouses that were in attendance, probably closer than most.

I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case. She's the Head of State and her immediate family do care about her a great deal. If she wanted a companion, it could have been accommodated within the 30. I suspect she wanted a last moment of quiet intimacy with her husband and her thoughts. I saw that there was only one journalist allowed in the Chapel, from the BBC, and she was in a hermetically sealed box in the rafters of the Chapel observing. She said that at one point, not picked up by the cameras, the Duke of York (who was seated closest to her) looked over to check she was alright and they shared a brief moment.

Trust me. I have said that the chances are one in a million and she dont care. She is so scared to lose me even though I am in very good health, so chances are extremely slim. Its just not a discussion I can win. I've shown her your graph and argued for it, but she dont care. "WHAT IF YOU GET A BLOOD CLOT AND DIE FROM IT?" "then post it in dead deathlisters". Beyond frustrating because I just want to get a god damn vaccine.

Nay I think it would just encourage folk to travel abroad if they had one and I am still of the opinion that ALL overseas travel should be stopped, particularly inbound.

Yep, anything old must be utterly shite, decrepid and, if human, euthanised. Hey, only what is young and youthful are entitled to propagate the forums and planet earth, eh!
