If she does that, I’ll become a royalist. That is a promise.

Was going through this list containing Sammy Chung, so... Tony Nelson dead at 92.

Che Guevara's son Camilo dead at 60

Tom Cushman was one of many known as the "Fourth Beastie Boy" - he has a writing credit on "Fight for Your Right to Party" and is namechecked in "Hey Ladies" ("Tom Thumb, Tom Cushman, or Tom Foolery"). He was later arrested for selling Philip Seymour Hoffman the drugs that killed him. His Discogs profile says he died in 2018, and that seems to be backed up by a tweet here. Can't find any obituary though, which is odd - you'd have thought he'd have at least qualified for some sort of Brooklyn music blog-level coverage. Discogs claims his real name was Steven Cushing Thomas, and that name is associated with a British library music company called High Left. Their Company House page says that Steven Cushing Thomas, of Seattle, Washington ceased a stake in the company in mid-2018, but then retook one a day later. So I don't know. Probably dead. Edit: Died early June 2018 according to this Facebook post, with a memorial taking place on December 22 of that year at St. Ann's Church in Brooklyn Heights, if anyone fancies searching for a reference.

Thank you for the Birds. Never forgot I was ROFL watching it the first time. Still funny.

Sonia's mother Paolina Predebon dead at 98. She was already "gravely ill" in 2011.

Birkbeck University got back in touch with me. They've said that "as far as they know", this is a hoax and she's still alive.

Can't even win that award!

Liberal Democrats seek a candidate for a potential By-election in Michael Gove's constituency Do they know something?

Surprised he doesn't have his own thread after 2 decades tbh. Anyhow, Richard Dawkins showed up in the University Challenge 60th anniversary doc. Given his health issues recently, he looking in decent nick compared to a few years ago. But even so, reminder that he's 81 and not as robust as he once was.

Elizabeth Ashley, the exceptional American film, stage and television actress remembered for her roles in films such as "The Carpetbaggers", "Ship of Fools", "The Third Day" and "Coma", is 83 today. Ashley is primarily a stage actress. Her first and second husbands were actors James Farentino and George Peppard. In 1977, Elizabeth Ashley was beaten and raped by three drunken men at an abandoned gas station. Warren Buffett, the successful American businessman, brilliant investor and one of the richest and most influential philanthropists on the world, is 92 today.

Ida Pendergrass, mother of R&B icon Teddy, her only child, dead at 104.

Perhaps she won't invite them to form a Government. Perhaps she's had enough of them like the rest of us.

I don't think unique picks will work after a few subs have come into play. There's nothing to prevent people adding them as subs after the game starts. You could ban people from using uniques as subs, but it's just one more complication to police.
