The first celebrity death that I remember was that of Ernest Borgnine, but the one I remember even better was Margaret Thatcher when I was 9 - I was sat in Sainsbury's cafe with my mum, saying something like "she was a great woman" (all i knew about her was that she was the first female prime minister) and my mum said "no, she really wasn't" then said what she'd done. My hatred of the tories started not too long after that

Joseph Bernard Gildenhorn (wiki) dead at 94. George H. W. Bush era diplomat.

Doug "the Nostalgia Critic" Walker is 42. ...I remembered his birthday so you don't have to.

Times obit for John "Jelly" Horton, aged 77, saxophonist who was a member of 60s psychedelic pop band The End (wiki). Band supported the Rolling Stones but never made it big, Horton quit, then went on to have a successful career as an advertising guru in the 70s.

Has at least 10 tour dates planned for the early part of 2024

Beginning to think she will see her 65th birthday

I recently read about a reunion for the Shadow F1 team employees. Most significant team members were there, but one missing due to 'ill health' was former team boss and Grand Prix driver Alan Rees. Might be worth considering, especially for a theme team. He'll obit With a QO without too many issues.

That report says Spider Stacy, his old Pogues bandmate, has been to visit him now. Spider lives in New Orleans so if he's rushed off to Dublin now, that doesn't sound great news for Shane imo...

IF he makes it, the committee should be bold and put him at no. 1. Jimmy Carter isn't dying anyway

I was recently chatting to work colleague about the Magnificent Seven - and it occurred to us that none of the seven are still with us (although I am open to correction on this point) - Eli Wallach is still just about going (No 38 on this years list) - but he was a bad guy. We then got onto the subject of who was left from the Great Escape (like you do) and the only only one we could think of was James Garner - so my suggestion for one to watch this year is good ol' Jim Rockford - based only on the fact that every other star in the film is brown bread. If only he had told Donald Pleasance to get stuffed before he escaped. DWB

"if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"

Just put the Crème de Pêches to good use in a Cordial Inviter Brandy, crème de pêches, dry vermouth Strong and tasty.

I'm thinking an edibles business. A lot of people in legalized marijuana states have switched to edibles.

MTV comedian Rip Micheals is hospitalised after a heart attack. His remaining heart function is at 17% and he is surrounded by personell of the "heart failure" unit. Not one for very long, I think. https://nypost.com/2023/11/15/entertainment/rip-micheals-of-wild-n-out-hospitalized-due-to-heart-attack/

George Chigova Zimbabwean Goalkeeper who played 32 times for his country and was in their squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations has died after suffering from heart issues aged 32. The Sun

He still has that characteristic deep voice and a brilliant head of hair. Still very recogniseable as the Robert Wagner of old all things considered.

That should bring his legal dispute to a close. Had a feeling it was true, somebody jumped the gun. Thanks tracy.

In Prince Philip's case, he said he kind of dreaded turning 100- he definitely did not want to celebrate his 100th birthday- so he got his wish! I bet he died with a smile on his face!

According to my dream I saw last night Sir Paul Mcartney and Sir Ringo Starr also will die in a plane crash together

She did, and look what happened.

David McCallum makes the Great Escape from life. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/david-mccallum-star-hit-tv-213117991.html

Jawohl, mein führe... Oops, I mean, I thought you'd at least complain about the lack of German folks (or should I say Völker? the Austrians and the Swiss are missing as well), their only candidate on the list seems to be the Pope Emeritus and even he is a Vatican citizen (although at least he was affiliated with the Hitlerjugend). So many missed opportunities... (e.g. Kohl or Habermas etc.) Habermas wird in diesem jahr nicht sterben. Er verdient es nicht auf der Liste zu sein. Ich bin anderer Ansicht. Ich bin anderer Ansicht
