TCM does their In Memoriams way better than the Oscars do

Robert H. Grubbs, 2005 chemistry laureate, has died aged 79. He was worth 3.740 points. Since he was not chosen, no one scored them. https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/caltech-mourns-the-loss-of-nobel-laureate-robert-h-grubbs

Hmm.. is this a death notice for the Jack Hedley in today's Times? Two problems – to our knowledge, Hedley was born in 1930 (so he'd be 91, not 92). Also, Jack Hedley was born as "Jack Hawkins" in Fulham, London in 1930 according to the birth index. He changed his name to Jack Hedley to avoid confusion with existing actor Jack Hawkins (1910–1973), but did he change it legally as well? Can't account for where "Snowdon" comes from. No middle name given on his birth record.

An assortment of names I think deadpoolers should some pay attention to with regards to 2022.... Richard Wilson Barry Cryer Don King Robbie Coltrane Robert Duvall Michael J Fox Berry Gordy Coltranes age and obesity and the length of time since Michael J Fox was diagnosed with parkinsons disease are particular factors to note.

The last survivor of Robert Stack's squad in The Untouchables, I think.

Yes, December 19th.

I really could not help but think that Danielle is beginning to look a bit like that Wealdstone football supporter fella Mr 'You Want Some?

Telegraph obit for Linda Whetstone, aged 79, campaigner for free markets (and also a well-known figure in the dressage world in a separate career). I knew Linda pretty well. She died suddenly whilst speaking at a libertarian event in Miami last week. I'm absolutely blown away by the sheer amount of coverage she's received across social media and the wider web. I imagine in part due to her brilliant mind, but also because she was a very lovely lady.

Reinier Paping, a true legend. Winner of the 11 cities skating marathon of 1963, died at the age of 90. This race is held when the ice is thick enough to hold the 200 kilometer race. The fact that there are now only two winners alive, of which one won it twice, gives a sense of how remarkable a win is. His race was even more legendary than the others. Weather was horrendous with snow and strong winds. Temperatures went to -18C. Only 69 skaters out of 10000 managed to finish.

The Covid passports (which I also instinctively disagree with) have probably played a small part, but this is a seat that wouldn’t have even needed a by-election if Johnson had just suspended Paterson for a bit. Instead, he tried to protect one of his own corrupt minions and it enormously backfired because he’s an idiot as well as a cunt.

I think that is harsh on Toyah Muse of Derek Jarman, narrator of beloved children's shows and in her way possibly an iconic representation of where punk fused into pop in the early eighties More people would lisp along to Its A Mystery than join in a King Crimson sing-a-long

Maybe this might be enough to induce you to watch Blakes 7

Agreed. He'll die in an "accident" which will just be Liz covering the RF's arses
