I'll never did this but... Happy 21st birthday to me!

And I'm sure that if younger members enjoyed announcing they had no idea who celebrities are as much as older members, the threads of Georgie Fame and Alan Price would be several pages long.

Grandson interviewed. (After your elimination, you gave a very moving speech about your grandfather, revealing to the group that he'd recently been put in hospice care. Have you been able to visit him since filming?) It's been harder and harder to see him. My mom spends a lot of her time with him. She spends almost half her time taking care of him at this point just because of things like COVID regulations. So it's really family oriented. I haven't been seeing him as much recently, but he knows that I love him and we're supporting him through this time. (How is he doing?) He's pretty sick. He still does use his brain. He listens to audiobooks. He's a genius. He's super smart. I love him. He always wants to be doing something with his mind, so he's trying to keep himself busy, but he is really sick and getting older. (It was also made public since the show that your grandmother, Rosalynn Carter, has been battling dementia. How is she doing?) I just want to say that she's an amazing woman. She's put in so much work in her life. She's done things for mental health. I want everyone to know how incredibly important and beautiful she is as a person and a grandma. Yeah, she does have dementia and when I see her, she does forget what's going on sometimes, but when she remembers it's amazing. I love her.

Still make a better president than Trump, mind

Celebrating that fact that I have now earned all 8 reactions on this site at least once, the last one I needed was Confused which @mymango has so graciously just betrothed upon me in the Jimmy Carter Thread, they're also the only ever user to give me the Angry reaction and 2 of my 3 Facepalms.

German actress Margit Saad (Wiki) dead at 94, mostly active in post-war cinema

Helen Rollason died on this day 24 years ago, aged 43. - Before Rollason entered broadcasting, she was a P.E. teacher (not in a school gym, but rather teaching students about physical wellbeing). - In 1980, she volunteered for a radio station, and joined Essex Radio when it first began broadcasting in 1981 as a sportscaster. - In the 1980s, Rollason would be a presenter of the children's news program Newsround, where she would discuss topics such as female racing jockeys. - Rollason was the broadcaster for ITV's presentation of the 1988 Summer Olympics, and in 1990, she would join BBC as the presenter of Grandstand. During her time on the network, she would also cover the 1992 and 1996 Olympics, the annual Wimbledon championships, and the 1994 Commonwealth Games. - Rollason was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer in 1997, and would remain on TV up until June of 1999. One of her last appearances would be in July of that year when she received an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Rollason survived for two years, when she was given three months to live upon diagnosis. - Rollason's only appearance on the DeathList was in 1999, in the no. 46 spot. She was the 8th death of the year (out of 10), and at 43, is currently the youngest DeathList hit ever (if Rob Burrow makes it to 2024 he could beat that- if the committee picks him).

Just as a heads up, I'm going to be very busy tomorrow morning, so if the round ends by then I probably won't be able to start the new round immediately.
