Following the latest shenanigans, the Government should be banned from using mobiles.

I think it’s time to take this thread out back and shoot it

Ok, you know you're living in a dystopia when half of Count Binface's London Mayoral Manifesto sounds perfectly reasonable. #votebinface

Diligence.

Tom Lehrer is 96.

I needed to quote him for the purposes of the joke.

Stop quoting Crem. It’s horse shit, as is everything that comes from both him and Guido Fawkes. I have him on ignore for a reason.

R. M. Veerappan dead at 97.

It's a really sad state of affairs that only Jimmy's death will ever bring about world peace and unity on this thread at this point.

Thanks for this @YoungWillz! That is indeed a death notice for Cresswell. As there was only one Curtis Cresswell born in 1946–1948, plus the area concerned is also a match. As for the others, I will add a note to the listing with that Who link. The wording bothers me slightly. It says "the surviving". If they had said "the last surviving" then I would have been more happy to mark all the others as deceased but I want to err on the side of caution to make room for any potential oversights.

Ron Lord has died aged 94.

The longshot "That's all" might pull it off

Updated the list of people with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to include all living 1933 and 1934 births, as well as James Hong (b. 1929), who received a star several months after I made the original list.
