Paul Auster dead at 77.

Last spoke in the House on 15 April. He also hosted his own event in Westminster about 6 months ago that a friend of mine went to. He looked good from the photos I saw.

Tahnoun bin Mohammed Al Nahyan (wiki) dead. 97/98 if he go off of the 1926 year of birth his English Wiki page used to have on it. Or 81/82 if he go off of the 1942 year of birth currently used on his Arabic Wiki. What a mess.

French actor Roland Rodier (Wiki) dead at 96

Dean Windass named as one of the PL players in the 50s suing football authorities over brain damage. Insert your own very obvious joke.

Not strictly political but connected.

Sure he's a DDP pick. Terry Medwin reportedly dead:

On what used to be Queen's Day (30 April), Princess Beatrix released four hedgehogs on her home grounds, Drakensteyn Castle. She looks her age (86) but seems to have no trouble walking through the forest. Mentally seems to be all there as well. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6YWB6eNPrz/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

Former president of Uruguay and global icon mainly due to his frugal lifestyle and critic of capitalism. Now suffering from esophageal cancer, severe autoimmune disease and kidney failure. At almost 89, this becomes quite a deadly cocktail.

I believe he recently made a comment urging the resolution of ex Liverpool mayor Joe Andersons situation as he has been under investigation by the police for a long time and Heseltine said only in recent weeks it needs to be resolved.

He is PNG with the current Tory party because he is considered a pro-European and I think he has enough dignity not to offer a running commentary on the demise of the party he has represented It will be interesting if he gets any punditry during the GE He was giving interviews at the beginning of March

I believe his care home is in Uxbridge near where I used to live.

I'd like Plymouth to stay up (west country solidarity) so that means they'll get stuffed by Hull and go down, while Birmingham and Norwich play out a draw that will ultimately suit both of them. Don't think Leeds or Southampton will go up, both are in poor form and have the disappointment of losing out in a season long chase for automatic promotion. If they make the play offs think Hull will do it, failing them then Norwich.

Just the two left from the 1958 Wales sqaud then if I'm not mistaken. Cliff Jones and Trevor Edwards

Those who didn't know this for sure probably guessed as much. And those who were around on the forums while Cat was will know he was indeed a 'delightful gentleman' as his doctor's letter said. He'll always be a forum legend here. Rest up old fella, and thanks for sharing many a laugh (and flight) with us.
