Sir Sam Neill, regarded as one of the most versatile actors of his generation, was diagnosed with Stage III Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma last year. More recently, his chemo has stopped working and he is on a drug that is also seemingly likely to run out of puff sooner rather than later. A rather real possibility for the DL 2024 at this rate.

Being Secret Service to him has to be the chillest job in the world by now. Also page 69, nice.

He's the second MP whose surname gives away their misconduct, after Chris Pincher.

"Well, there was this one bit of tottie numerous years ago, and obviously when I could still get it up without medical assistance...Resisting my advances was wrong on their part. But I have learned from this and have only employed people who make the elephant man look pretty, and who will be easily bought for a few pounds to testify to my impeccable record as an employer and MP." To paraphrase.

Willie Jones was born on Oct 11, 1915 and died on May 25, 2023, he was the oldest living person born in Turks and Caicos Islands and the oldest living person living in Bahamas since Jan 22, 2022.In both countries we don't know who is the oldest living person now Kemie Jones - Hoje foi honestamente um dos mais difíceis do meu... | LinkedIn (facebook.com)

Alan Greenspan - In the past few weeks two members from the WEF died. I say October 25th

"Who Shall Live", not him apparently.

Estonian psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist Endel Tulving, who is best known for his influential research on human memory, died at 96 years: https://novaator.err.ee/1609098653/suri-maluteaduse-korufee-endel-tulving He won the Gairdner Foundation International Award, which is Canada's leading prize in biology and medicine, in 2005.

Discharged .

He used to have a rubber one........ 10-4!

You really love being the acculturated one in the room I was just pointing out that just because you never heard of him it doesn't mean that he is just a niche character for french people. Glad you fancy Kitano movies, we can start a digression about cinema in the proper section but there was no need to rattle off your knowledge, I discovered many interesting personalities thanks to the forum and sometimes thanks to your work, take this opportunity to discover La Haine and appreciate the movies and the man behind them

@Bibliogryphon Just a reminder that you haven't crossed off Frederic Forrest or Pat Cooper from the main list yet.

Gosh I was so pleased to hear I'd had a hit with Jordan Pickford I didn't read properly any further to find out about Feliciano Lopez too! Thanks very much for your research @The Old Crem

Nice case of nominative determinism in today's Guardian obits, with flute and oboe player Norman Blow.

Olympia is one of my picks so I hope she succeeds as at least one hit will keep me semi respectable!!

Updated scores as of 2nd September: The Old Crem - 195 points (Ashleigh Barty, Princess Eugenie, Paris Hilton, Henry Slade, Tom Daley, Serena Williams, Kourtney Kardashian, Pixie Lott, Rebecca Adlington) LizLemon - 140 points (Peta Murgatroyd, Kourtney Kardashian - joker, Clare Crawley) Diego - 130 points (Paris Hilton - Joker, Lindsay Lohan, Daniel Radcliffe, Brenda Song) LadyFiona - 115 points (Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Brenda Song, Jason Kenny, Tom Daley, Shane Dawson) DeathBecomesThem - 45 points (Paris Hilton, Jessa Seewald (miscarriage)) Gooseberry Crumble - 0 points If anyone has been missed then please let me know. Congrats to @The Old Crem and you are now 5 points off from 200. Meanwhile football players are having a family just not the right ones for @Gooseberry Crumble. Keep an eye on Jessa Seewald because there are some pregnancy rumours about after having a miscarriage start of the year. Also Olympia Valance is doing "everything in her power" to try and get pregnant after having a miscarriage two years ago. Britney Spears is divorcing her husband so I don't think anything will happen there.

He's off to Morocco next month (and on tour next year).

I found this graphic summarizes just how rough 2023 has been, and it is only August. Three have been DDP hits (Superstar, Iron Sheik, Funk) for the respective wrestler theme teams.

Been home alone and laid up with an injury today so I’ve binged a Netflix series that dropped a few years ago now but I’ve only just got round to it - The End of the F***ing World. Really enjoyed it. Alex Lawther plays a damn good quiet psychopath.

An urn with the ashes of former Crumble alumni Clarissa Eden in it has more political acumen and know how in 2022 than Richard Leonard. As does a sock puppet.

Yes that's after she was ill in January and probably kept the cannula.

Lol I ain’t been around for two days and I’m all confused for a minute.

It made Mrs msc laugh herself hoarse, so consider that a like from both of us.

Just like Cilla 'lovable scouser' persona. According to Paul McCartney she was actually quite posh.

He needs his full title really; Datuk Saad Man
