Dead at 100

Stop writing crap here. If you think that @DoltonMoney is a fake account, take it up with one of the administrators of this site. You in the end will owe me an apology — if you are man/woman enough to do it. NB! You owe DoltonMoney an apology as well.

Thanks @MariNisia Points for you and @theoldlady as well following John Goodenough's death at 100. I will update the pool within the next fee days.

Nah. The only time I’ve seen them score the same is when they helped kick out that crap song you like. And in any case, this thread is often the only one that makes this forum a worthwhile visit.

John Goodenough is an unique hit for @diego CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I was very suspicious over that deal he made with Belarus. I refuse to believe that Putin will magically forgive Prigozhin. There is not any possible way that he is going to walk unharmed. We all know what happened to the last few dissidents who spoke out against Putin, so why should we believe that Putin is going to let Prigozhin, who threatened and planned mutiny, walk free? I suspect that Putin will have him killed. By the way, I have some more predictions. I think that after he has Prigozhin executed, the Putin regime is going to slowly rift apart. I think that after too much dissident deaths, an attempted mutiny, and a failing war, the Russian people will completely lose faith in their government, which would probably be removed or overthrown. Especially after the counteroffensive, I am assuming there will be a huge collapse of the Russian government.

I was really surprised that he didn't have a thread yet. Or a pool. I say July, 21, 2023. I haven't decided if he jumped out a window, shot himself or accidentally poisoned himself.

There was never anything that made me think Dolton was an oldlady alt for even a millisecond, but since you're raising the concern, I'll check anyway. They aren't even on the same continent.

Yang Zhenning now the oldest and earliest laureate!

Delaware is the second smallest state, so a questionable porn name. Dick Alaska, now we’re talkin!

Denis Thatcher died on this day 20 years ago, aged 88. - Thatcher's family owned a paint preservative business, which he joined once he turned 18. - During World War II, Thatcher served in Italy. His highest military rank was a major. - Thatcher first married Margot Kempson in 1942, divorcing her in 1948- their six-year marriage was quite an unhappy one. His second wife, who he married in 1951, was Margaret "Milk Snatcher" Roberts. - Denis' would sell his family business to Castrol in 1965, but would continue running it and became a member of Castrol's board of directors. Burmah Oil took over Castrol the following year, and Denis also received a high position within the company; he retired in 1975. - In 1979, Denis became the first male SOTPMUK (spouse of the prime minister of the United Kingdom) when Margaret was elected Prime Minister. He was known for his very short speeches and advocation for the abolition of the death penalty. - Denis would be made a baronet following his wife's resignation as PM in 1990- this is the most recent baronetcy to be created. - Denis was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1992, which led to his debut on the DeathList in 1994. He beat the disease, but would appear on the DeathList again in 2003. - Denis had heart surgery in January of 2003, but was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June and died two weeks after diagnosis. Denis was the fifth hit of 2003, and followed that night by Strom Thurmond.

Well the Wagner Group are now closer to Kiev rather than Moscow. So could be tactical move.

On this day 20 years ago, Cameroonian football player Marc-Vivien Foé died of heart failure while playing the semifinal of 2003 Confederations Cup against Colombia. He was only 28.

Singer and songwriter Eddie Floyd is 86 today. Known for his association with Stax, and collaborations with Steve "The Colonel" Cropper. His best known song is Knock On Wood, co-written with Cropper, released in 1966, reaching number 19 in the UK chart the following year; a cover by Otis Redding & Carla Thomas reached number 35 later that year. David Bowie reached number 10 in 1974 with a live version, but the greatest chart success was achieved by Amii Stewart, who reached number 6 in 1979 and number 7 in 1985 with a remixed version.

It’s mainly extracts from her “My A-Z of Surviving Almost Anything” book, and how she was diagnosed. It does say it’s stage 4, not smoking-related lung cancer of a type that usually affects young Asian women. It can be treated and held back, but not cured.

Already denied.

A belated happy 99th birthday for yesterday to Edward Field (born June 7, 1924) - gay American poet and author.

I'm hoping the GRO index will be updated soon up to this year

Is there a thread for industrial music? I thought about putting it in the pop thread but I wouldn't consider them a pop group.

Dead at 76. At least he got to see sixty. I'll get my (lab) coat. Guardian Obituary. Still nothing from the BBC. I am very cross about this.

He's behind you!
