Darcelle XV, the world's oldest drag queen, dead at 92.

Sir Peter Graham-Moon

Tommy Hilfiger, the renowned American fashion designer and philanthropist, a pioneer of classic American cool style, whose sensational career in fashion began as a high school student in 1969, well known for his own label, with their iconic blue, red, and white flag logo, is 72 today. María Valverde, the wonderful Spanish actress, one of the most interesting Spanish actresses of her generation, who made her big screen debut in 2003, who won a Goya Award for her noted performance of a student in "La Flaqueza del Bolchevique" ("The Weakness of the Bolshevik") (her first film), who gained international popularity for her work as Zipporah in Ridley Scott's epic "Exodus: Gods and Kings" (2014), is 36 today.

Eric Brown who won a British Science Fiction Association award for his short stories has died aged 62

Nena (whose song won the 80s Kill or Save) is 63.

True, Blur’s had a bit of a resurgence. I’m quite glad tbh; Country House is far from their best but it mugged Oasis off so deserves points just for that. Any of the four fighting for third and fourth I’d be happy to see through (yes, even Tax That, though I did just score it down for lols)

Looks like he sadly has a bad case of All Caps Disease

Thanks for liking this post just now Diego. Always thought it was underrated.

According to this tweet Andrew Tate would have incurable lung cancer .

Sounded absolutely fine when briefly interviewed on ITV Racing this week too (the brevity of the interview not a concern, they just wanted a word about his horse's chances and asked 1 question about the title race).

Here are the two recent deaths : Bert I. Gord-off ! a solo hit for @Torva Messor Jonnie Irwin in at n°15. ---------------------- As fit as a Fiddle (on the roof) ! Topol is a hit for Charles de Gaulle, Wannamaker, perhaps and Captain Chorizo @Charles De Gaulle : Roberta Flack in and two subs to choose please ! @wannamaker : Dennis Skinner in and Cowell as sub 3 @Perhaps : Rob Burrow in and Ellsberg as sub 3 @CaptainChorizo : James Whale in and both Carters in with Jimmy as sub 2 please choose another sub for those of you who haven't already and for @CalebH also, thanks !

As someone who dips in and out- I have to say the actress who plays Alice (Jenny Dahing daughter) played a blinder in the last year or so with her characters alcoholism and now her Mums death. Mind you Adam still wooden as telegraph pole. He’s just got no range in his emotions.

Kids today have "thug shaker" videos blaring 24/7 on every single media platform, they know what a POC dick looks like before they can legally take driving lessons.

I was born in the 1990’s.

For those who enjoy form spotting and fancy a bit of gambling too, next Friday is your night! Exclusive Evening with Harry Redknapp He's 76, but little in terms of health issues. In 2017 he had a benign tumour removed from his bladder.

Patricia Ramsey the mother of murdered child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, has died aged 49 from ovarian cancer.

Traditionally drag queens operates in "Houses" (Hauses, whatever), so there was always a support network around them. With the drag explosion we're getting more "Instaqueens", who barely perform live and operate mainly on their own and online. Definitely signals a sea change.

Don't the Telegraph's obituaries mention the DOB if available, at the very end? Given their obits are paywalled now I can't bother to check but I think that's why it's known.

Have they tried switching him off and back on again?

Guess I better make a post in this thread... Head still buzzing after going to see (and hear) the Stereo MC's at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham. £19.50, doors 6:30pm. Fifth time I've been to one of their gigs, and this one well on par. Guess about 400 in attendance, quite rammed but not so you could not fully dance along. They had a warm up act but I was not that interested to see them I guessed when the MC's would play and only waited about 15 minutes. On stage about 8:20pm. Bagged a spot upstairs on the balcony. Joining in from the back with all the jumping up and down malarchy in my own ample space. However with my bad back I know I'm too old for it and I'll feel it for a few days I'm sure. The band is down to two backing singers (think having and bringing up children don't mix too well with all that bouncing around). Still, Rob Birch was again giving it his mad fast social rapping all. He has pushed 50 too and still as thin as a rake. Excluded the camo look and gone back to baggy denim and supplemented it with a fluorescent beanie. By the forth song the crowd was loving it. And Rob had stripped off two layers. Great historic play list interspersed with about 4 new songs I've not been top side of from the new album that I'm not a fan of. Still got my fill of good stuff. Took a photo of the play list taped to the stage that they were winging. They did "Deep Down And Dirty" twice and ran out of time to play one song they planned to add at some point. One small table of merchandise (already own the tee shirt) and lemonade at £2.60 / pint. Most people drinking Red Stripe. Good mix of ages 18 to 50's. Guess most people had a jolly good time. Finished at 9:54pm.

Why, thank you, Mary. No indeed, although I did pick Alex Higgins for my first DDP team. I never did again though, because my friend told me he would never die.
