Losing her hair again, resigned to her "one-way ticket" and making funeral plans: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/linda-nolan-neil-sedaka-song-29777462 Don't worry Linda, you're on my team. That always helps survival chances. (Sadly though, it might not, given the story of this year).

So he's entering the latter half of his career.

Except we would get updates on Sharon. I check on the Princess every couple days (in the press lol) and mum’s the word.

Kukai died on this day 1188 years ago, aged 60. - Kukai came from a rich aristocratic family said to be a cadet branch of the Ōtomo family. - Kukai became a Buddhist monk, and published his first work in 798: Sangō Shiiki, an allegorical story explaining how he believed Buddhism was superior to Confucianism and Taoism. - In 804, he went to China on a state-sponsored trip, where he was introduced to Esoteric Buddhism. He returned to Japan in 806, having learned Chinese calligraphy and the Sanskrit language. - Kukai established a temple at Mount Koya in 816 after Emperor Saga allowed him to. It was consecrated in 819, but he was unable to practice his teachings there as he became involved in politics (as an advisor to the secretary of state). - Kukai was known for refurbishing the Manno Reservoir in 822. - Kukai would continue to gain influence in Japanese Buddhism, becoming an overseer of state rituals in 827. - Kukai established a school in (what is now) Kyoto in 828, opening it to people from all social statuses. - Kukai published a very long work in 830 called the Jūjūshinron, AKA the Treatise on The Ten Stages of the Development of Mind. TLDR:

Jack Nicholson is 86.

Aarrgghh beaten to the punch by THREE minutes! *tips cap to @lilham* Now that Shannen is available, if one of our DLers marries her is it ethical to put your wife on your Deadpool team?

Ku Klux Klan leader Thomas Robb is being rumoured dead on social media. His Wikipedia page was also changed to say that he supposedly died.

French actor Alain Delon, 81, has been hospitalized for a cardiac operation. He underwent 5 hours long surgery for an aortic bypass on September the 18th, but he is still in hospital. Papers report he's been heavily shocked by the death of former partner Mireille Darc in August.

I never picked him as I thought he would be disqualified for FFBI to be honest. Sad news.

QO For Kenneth McAlpine. Kenneth McAlpine obituary | Motor sport | The Guardian

Mexican actor and comedian Cantinflas died 30 years ago, In Hollywood, he had only two films: Around the World in 80 Days, a box office success and Oscar winner for best film in 1956, and Pepe, a public and critical failure.

I did like these short obits for candidates who died off the list. These shouldn't be as long as a regular candidates' one, but I found them interesting as they contained additional data like the lists these previous candidates were on and how some years the list could have had a higher number of hits if other people were kept on it.

There must be something about being born on 23 March - as well as Sir Steve, the follwoing successful Olympians all celebrate their birthday today: Sir Mo Farah is 39, Sir Chris Hoy is 46, Sir Jason Kenny is 34 and SIr Shelley Rudman is 41

I don't know, I just can't believe it. I get why people think she might die, but I just can't.

Well, yes, yes, I suppose so Toastie!

Or as I called him, Huge Chav.
