Least she could do is smile. Grumpy old bitch.

I heard a nice story about Tina years ago. She did a show at Versailles and insisted that all the bus drivers out in the coach park were allowed in.

Incredible life and career. Just a legendary success story. I really think she was one of the most iconic human beings of all time. Jimmy Carter really outlived Tina Turner, goddamn.

7th death of 2022 was the Queen of England 7th death of 2023 was the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll

Jimmy Carter

Probably one of the biggest and saddest hit of History of deathlist. Rip Queen.

Shame, loved her. Tried her songs quite a few times at Karaoke. Nutbush City Limits, Steamy Windows, and what I like to call my favourite song of all time, River Deep, Mountain High. She deserved to turn her life around after the 70s and succeeded. In the end, a life well-lived.

You know, some of us have teams without a hit yet. Sliding down the scoreboard isn't an option for some of us. Anyway @gcreptile have a Kenneth Anger based Obit to be going on with: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/kenneth-anger-experimental-filmmaker-hollywood-144520511.html

Update on James van Hoften. I've just discovered that he resigned from Gatwick Airport's board of directors on May 13th, 2019. Absolutely no idea on his current whereabouts though, we don't know if he's moved back to the USA or he still lives here in the UK.

Saw this on Twitter:

Awfully doddery though.

Juan Manuel Santos, Colombian politician who served as the 32nd President of Colombia from 2010 to 2018 and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016, is 71 today. Lucas Till, American film and television actor known for his role as Havok in "X-Men: First Class" (2011), "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (2014) and "X-Men: Apocalypse" (2016), is 32 today. He later starred in the title role of the CBS reboot of "MacGyver".

And as the late great Barry Cryer said, or was it Bob Monkhouse, .. they're not laughing now

I'm so distracted by the Russian Security Council meeting right now. I think they're going to recognize the "Luhansk" and "Donezk people's Republic" in 30 minutes. Shit will hit the fan.

His convictions are being challenged in Court today despite his death in 2017. Not sure if some or all of them are likely to be be overturned. Judgement reserved so no decision today.

3rd Ensign Red Shirt, ST or maybe TNG. Beamed down, never came back.

Re the kids and that Sean Lennon James Paul McCartney Dhani Harrison and Zak Starkey Would genuinely make a decent band - though given Zak's considerable thwack they'd probs sound more like The Who than their dads did

Gimme some of that old time religion! SC Pope Urban VII, 12 day papacy the shortest in history, died 425 yrs ago. Also the last Pope to have a beard (to date) St. Vincent de Paul 355 yrs ago and Pope Innocent VII -- 315 yrs ago

Been announced on Irish television that Maeve Binchy has died

Okay, based on a crude model that took 90 minutes from start to finish to devise and run we reckon, the dead Russian is somewhere beyond 9 billion miles but not within touching distance of 10. The guy who knows most about planets did give us a snorting; 'does this really matter,' reply when we asked for his help so our grasp of the exact line up of planets and - therefore - the gravitational slingshot available to an accidental space tourist in the early sixties is a little sketchy. He could also have gone the other way which means he have got to the sun before NASA put a man on the Moon.
