Despite the inevitable feuds and disputes, I still consider this little site a place of relative sanity compared to what’s going down in the 2023 ‘real world’. As young Mr Grace used to say: carry on, you’ve all done very well. But the real reason for my post is to pedantically point out that it’s currently 35 (almost 36) Years of the DL, not 28. It has now outlived that Jesus fellow.

John Cunliffe died on this day 5 years ago, aged 85. - When Cunliffe was a child, he would be bullied by his classmates for being tall. - Cunliffe ended up becoming a librarian, elementary school teacher, and childrens' author, most known for his Farmer Barnes series of books. - In 1981, Cunliffe would be commissioned by the BBC to create a show for kids- he started off basing the setting off of his home town, and from there, he created Postman Pat (and his black-and-white cat): The show would have several incarnations that ran between 1981 and 2017, and a theatrically-released film made in 2014. - Cunliffe had to give up the Postman Pat IP to the BBC, but would have full creative control over his next show- that being ITV's Rosie and Jim, which first aired in 1990. Cunliffe would star in the show as Fizzgog, the first owner of the puppets' houseboat, the Ragdoll, for the show's first two seasons. - Among Cunliffe's last works was a 2010 childrens' e-book called Ghosts, released exclusively on Apple's App Store.

Doozy!! Ironic non-death. Man fakes death to escape charges. His son went to the police to say his father disappeared during a kayaking expedition. Yet the stupid asshole forgot he was wearing an ankle monitor! Police noticed he was shopping in a Walmart but went with the ruse. Mentioning the disappearance in a newspaper. He was caught when he crashed with a motor cycle. Gave a false name but fingerprints fingered him. He will be a darling in prison as the charges are child rape.

Sophia Loren is 89.

One for the main list in time. Controversial household name political figure feels perfect for the death-list.

Fight for This Lollipop

If she was true to her roots surely this should be called Fight for This Pet......

Its 19 years since the death of singer Skeeter Davis. Born Mary Frances Penick, she was nicknamed 'Skeeter' by her grandfather, after 'mosquito' as she had a lot of energy. Her maternal grandfather was murdered by his brother, causing her mother to attempt suicide several times, even attempting to jump from a window with Skeeter and her brother in her arms. She was part of The Davis Sisters with schoolfriend Betty Jack Davis, until Davis was killed in a car crash after a radio appearance, and after recuperating, with Davis' younger sister Georgia, at the instigation of the Davis' mother. A solo career saw Skeeter's biggest hit, reaching number 18 in the UK and number 2 on the Billboard hot 100, with The End of The World. In 1988, she was diagnosed with breast cancer; following a mastectomy she was in remission for several years, until a recurrence in 1996. The disease finally killed her in 2004, aged 72.

Never tried Monkey Shoulder with that. Might get a bottle at the weekend and give it a go.
