The Lincoln joke in the thread subtitle was an omen.

Didn't expect this thread to end in this way when I started it.

And here's a picture of the couple celebrating their big anniversary today.

Biggest death of the month and possibly the year! See what else happens.

Jose Eduardo dos Santos allegedly dead at 79: https://observador.pt/2022/07/08/morreu-jose-eduardo-dos-santos-o-senhor-absoluto-de-angola-durante-quase-40-anos/ Couldn't find anything else reporting it except obsevador.pt, though

Lenny von Dohlen, Harold Smith in the above, reported dead by his sister according to this tweet: Electric Dreams, Home Alone 3, Red Dwarf. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0902188/

Yep, he dead. Sky reporting NHK.

Yes James Caan is a hit for @TQR, @Spade_Cooley and @gcreptile The versatility of the gentleman is clearly on display as we have a family favourite, WWII Classic and Full on comedy Still noone on two hits yet

No way he survives this. They are just delaying a death announcement.

Steve Lawrence, American actor, comedian and singer/songwriter with a successful career as a solo artist and as a member of a duo with his wife Eydie Gormé, is 87 today. In 1960, the couple won the Grammy Award for best performance by a vocal group. Eydie Gormé died August 10, 2013. In 2019, Steve Lawrence was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

Got high hopes on it being the Grim Reaper tbh.

This is going to be celebrated in both Korea and China. Internal politics aside, Abe was a committed nationalist who believed that Japan did nothing wrong in WW2, refuted to admit they were wrong during Nanjing, said the "comfort women" were never kidnapped/raped, and attended a yearly honoring of the worse of the Japanese war criminals. His maternal grandfather was literally known as the Butcher of Nanjing for his role in WW2. To East and Southeast Asia, he was basically the equivalent of a German Chancellor saying Hitler was right.

I think the prospect of either Ben Wallace or Tom Tugendhat facing Kier Starmer at PMQs would hopefully bring the level of debate up to a much higher level. I worry that the influx of UKIP types into the Conservative party means that we don't get that when the choice comes down to just two

NHK reporting he has died.

Ben Wallace looks to be the sensible choice so don't expect him to win.

Max Eisen reported dead. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6513625

Oscar winning american actress Anjelica Huston celebrates turning 71 today.

Really wish Hugh Grant would STFU. Another up his own arse Hollywood luvvie who thinks the world gives a flying fuck what he thinks. Mr Grant goes to my gym, looks haggard as fuck, and when I'm working out the temptation is always there to go over and hook him in the jaw.

@msc The man from Del Monte is dead. Brian Jackson, died aged 91. eta DDP pick for @Gooseberry Crumble Apricot team, but not for Handrejka's ITC theme team!

Hugh Grant has some advice: Basically saying watch who Murdoch hangs out with.

Baroness Glenys Kinnock, former EU commissioner and wife of former leader of the UK Labour Party Neil Kinnock, turns 78 today.

Former British Conservative cabinet minister Kenneth Clarke turns 82 today. He has served in the cabinets of Margaret Thatcher, John Major and David Cameron in numerous roles , Health Secretary, Home Secretary, Justice Secretary, Chancellor of the exchequer and Education Secretary.

Which is most likely, isn't it, @gcreptile?
