Amou Haji, dead, aged 94. Commentators curse or summat.

Loving this game by the way @Book - bravo for introducing. We're just playing at it currently too - it's going to get really tricky paring a top 8 down to 4 for the Grand Finale (as the current scores for rankings 2 to 7 show).

John Cannan no longer on "deathbed", it seems. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/killer-questioned-over-suzy-lamplugh-28309794 There seems to be zero evidence to link him with the Lamplugh case though.

Marion Ross, American film, stage and television supporting actress who is remembered for her role as Marion Cunningham on the ABC television sitcom "Happy Days" from 1974 to 1984, is 94 today.

I note in the report of his death, that recently he was given a bath. He said he didn't wash as he didn't want to get sick. Case proven. Mass wash = death. Let this be a lesson to everyone not to wash.

I appreciate your comment and I'm thinkin' what you're thinkin', @Gooseberry Crumble. Vera Miles and Marion Ross... I think they'd be a nice couple of hits.

Well, Jean Pitt-Lewis apparently died on August 21st at age 97, if I read the Google snippet of the Times list right: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/births-marriages-and-deaths-september-9-2022-ltgxt7vtf My longlist now has one Bletchley girl left, Lady Marion Body.

Used to love this show.

Essentially attributes an Arab/Muslim sounding name to someone of Indian/Hindu heritage. Cultural ignorance. Maybe to him all brown people are much a likeness. If this had been Trump or Pence, the U.S. media would’ve been over it like a rash.

Time is, of course, correct, as a 5 second glance in a dictionary would tell you. To "shoo" is American slang for fixing a race so a certain horse will win. Therefore, a "shoo-in" is the horse that wins the fixed race, and from that, any certain winner. And thus endeth the lesson. You're welcome.

This late intervention may have been key to denying him the support he needed!

When she dies, will they put her in a coffin or will they put a coffin in her and pull it out as part of the funeral service?

Cross-posting innit. Leslie Jordan is another one; he played Buck A. Roo for 2 episodes in series 7. The Benidorm death toll really is quite extraordinary.
