Five months later… ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It's 38 years since the death of Nicholas Colosanto, actor & director, best known as 'Coach' Ernie Pantusso in Cheers. He was diagnosed with heart disease in his 50s, exacerbated by 20 years of alcoholism, following which he gave up drinking, joining Alcoholics Anonymous. It became difficult to secure work owing to his declining health (his last film role being Tommy Como in 1980's Raging Bull), and he was contemplating retirement before being offered the role of Coach in Cheers. He appeared in 70 episodes over three seasons, his last being recorded in late 1984. He was admitted to hospital shortly after Christmas 1984 with water in his lungs; shortly after his discharge he died at home from a heart attack, aged 61.

Erich Froelich dead.

I do not want to read about anything ‘probing at Sir Cliff’ at this time of the morning, thank you very much.

I wonder if this familysearch contributor would know? There's an email attached, might be worth checking out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As the two first hits were 3rd appearances, Rosalynn, Cleo Laine, Woodward, Marcos, Ali-Khameney, Willie Nelson and Linda Nolan should be worried…

Wholeheartedly agree. Bonkers that Like a Prayer has gotten downvotes when fucking Sonia and Bros sit there with their 20 points untouched.

Princess Felicitas of Salm-Horstmar (born 1920), who turns 103 in March, has now become the oldest living European royal in history. She has overtaken the record held by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester (wiki, 1901–2004), who was the aunt of Elizabeth II.

agree for Leslie Caron. I would probably add Shirley MacLaine to this list. And Kim Novac too.

One of the unspoken rules of running a deadpool contest is that you have to leave the decent puns for those running the DDP and the DL frontpage. Thankfully, in the case of Burt Bacharach, there's enough to go around. That's what friends are for, after all. Yep, Mr Bacharach is no longer "anyone who had a heartrate", with the doyen of the American songbook finally succumbing to various long-time ailments aged 94.

It says Saguier's age was 93 in the article, not 92.

Reference here to the reported death of British director and producer Bruce Gowers, probably best known for directing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody video: Obviously I'd prefer some corroboration from somewhere, but this would be huge news - worked with various music stars on their videos and concert specials, directed Whose Line Is It Anyway and Live 8 for TV.

King of Japanese mature porn Shigeo Tokuda is still alive, right? He was still active a couple of years as far as I know. Last mentioned here nine years ago, 89 this year. Georgina Spelvin is 86, Manu Pluton 81 and Peter Berlin 80. Can't name other octogenarian ex-stars of the industry, but British star of sex comedies Sue Longhurst will be 80 this month. There's also the controversial bipolar schizophreniac adult film actor/producer/director/draft dodger/counterfeiter/art forger/drug smuggler/meth manufacturer/erotica writer R. C. Hörsch, seemingly still active and either 80 or 90 this year.

I live in a very Conservative run area and based on local Facebook groups you would of thought the area would be run by a Labour MP. Probably because those that vote Tory in my area most likely don't have social media or care to have Facebook.

I did. What makes a perfect game is one team coming back against another and winning against all the odds. It has nothing to do with the result from anyone's point of view although I would agree the Ozzies and Bayern fans might have found difficulty seeing perfection there. So perfection probably does have to involve an affinity with the winning team (not that I'm a ManU fan). I was simply pointing out that it's typically American to regard a close-out as a perfect game. That's not a perfect game. It's not much of a game at all. In the same way I suppose the Americans would have regarded a perfect Gulf War, one in which the whole of Iraq and its people were obliterated without a scratch among US troops, a bit like the Indian wars - perfect for "closing-out" North America's native inhabitants whose survivors can watch baseball and feel civilised, and yes it is spelled with an "s" in civilised countries.

Bald rick you can use one of those home plug AV adaptors that use the earth wire in the ring main and the ethernet connection. Also if the wireless signal is weak try a booster.
