When Roy last showed up on TV just before lockdown, he was an old frail man shaking with what seemed to be heavy Parkinsons and barely able to speak. I didn't recognise him until I heard his (now very weak) voice. Would be a good DL addition in my book, given he was in good health just over 2 years ago, so this decline has been rapid.

If only he'd phoned a friend .

Saw on a bookshelf in a gift shop a book by Roy Hattersley on The Cavendish Family. His book on the years between the wars was very good so I was quite interested but £16.99 for a paperback is a bit steep especially on my budget. However it did get me thinking that dear old Roy must be worthy of consideration for 2022 as noone has ever looked at him and said "I wonder how he manages to look so healthy" I expected Shirley Williams to out live him so howabout a politically balanced double act for 2022 of Hurd & Hattersley

As a Tottenham fan I'm devastated, just woke up and saw the news. RIP Greavsie, we will never forget you.

@Wormfarmer... some days the work accumulates... Jimmy Greaves is another solo hit for @Great Uncle Bulgaria: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/sep/19/jimmy-greaves-former-england-striker-1966-world-cup-winner-dies-aged-81 @Great Uncle Bulgaria... Well Done!!!

Bobigny City Hall have no death record for this person. Robert Young explains here that the case is likely a disappeared person scenario whereby the person has been officially declared dead. Supposedly not all that rare. There's a list of other such cases here. So likely the individual in question died years ago.

Imagine this lovely song being sung by Bob Dylan. No, let’s not. Thank God she made it a hit. ”If not for you The Winter would hold no Spring You couldn't hear a (sodding) robin sing” I wonder if that’s an American or European robin? SC
