I wrote an email to Avro Heritage Museum, they answer me, not something exact, but a little helpful I would say. Conclusion: Dead, the year should be 2021 or early 2022 and according to this, he was 106.

Not a death or owt but dunno where else to post this. Until the editors get there, which is doubtless about to happen, the current Wiki entry on our greatest equestrian opens with a corker of a sentence: Charlotte Susan Jane Dujardin CBE (born 13 July 1985) is a British dressage rider, equestrian, horse abuser and writer.

Writer and critic Alexander Waugh (wiki) dead from prostate cancer at 60. Telegraph obit. Grandson of Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966), son of Auberon Waugh (1939–2001). Three generations dead from cancer, heart failure and heart failure, aged 60, 61, and 62. Shite genes.

Apologies for the delay folks.I have my internet back but now have a nasty chest infection so I'm slowly getting through the results of the portillo game.Expect those and the master list for the by election bingo around Thursday.

Richard Cottrell reportedly dead aged 81 and a few days: https://www.wellington-today.co.uk/news/richard-cottrell-former-mep-and-wellington-weekly-reporter-dies-in-italy-aged-81-707634 Might be worth an update Biblio? Few fallers, are there many left?

Hamzah Haz, Islamist-friendly VP of Indonesia, dead at 84. Was on my radar as he was hospitalised with multiple organ failure in 2020! Definitely gave the Reaper a good run for his money. I'd say he is not even the most immortal Indonesian VP. How is Try Fucking Sutrisno still alive? He looked like a decaying corpse two years ago.

John Mayall dead, news was via mrs msc herself but has since been broken by his official Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/JohnMayall/posts/1023647912453710?

She made half her career in France, most of her french songs were written by Jean Jacques Goldman (french), that makes sense to me. but I agree that their choices for the closing and opening ceremony are somehow disturbing as there are plenty french singers Who Where not even contacted

I hope you are right. As far as the VP talk, Whitmer and Newsom already leaked to the press that they have no interest in the job (pretty much as soon as it became clear that the Dems were coalescing around Harris), so we can put that to bed. It's looking like the "short short" list is comprised of Kelly, Cooper, Shapiro, Beshear, and Walz. Kelly has become the +135 favorite in betting markets. While the Democrats need to win Pennsylvania and while Shapiro is the popular governor from that state, he probably doesn't check as many boxes as Kelly does. And both Cooper and Shapiro have a background similar to Harris' as lawyers and former state Attorneys General, so it's quite possible that the campaign will think this is too much overkill. Kelly's background is different, as a former astronaut, Navy captain and pilot, and now a Senator. He's seen as a badass of sorts and as a moderate, and he has done well with Latino voters in Arizona, partly because he's not as liberal as much of the Democratic Party is on issues like control of the border. He's also publicly said he's not in favor of the Green New Deal, and he's advocated for oil drilling as a response to higher gas prices. And as the husband of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, he's a great messenger on gun control issues as well. He seems like he has the momentum to get the gig, but we'll see what happens.

Sam A. Mowry, who voiced characters in videogames including Dota 2, League of Legends, and Legends of Runeterra, has died. He was 64. https://www.pcgamesn.com/league-of-legends/voice-actor-sam-mowry-dies

Lynda Carter is 73.

They would also be ineligible to pick up California's 54 electoral votes constitutionally if Newsom was on the ticket as VP. Not happening.

Mentioned many times on DL Forums before... Time death notice for Pat Heywood (wiki), who died on 26th June aged 92. A unique pick in the DDP!

It's been a few months aye? Time for an update! Might as well do it while I'm still around. Update: 1. @wannamaker got a hit with Barbara Rush on March 31st 2. @tracy got a hit with Dabney Coleman on May 16th 3. @ladyfiona got a hit with William Russell on June 3rd 4. @markb4 + @Perhaps got a hit with Bob Newhart on July 18th. No one else moves into winning position, but we are at 8 total hits. I would advise everyone to check on their selections. Some obscure people were chosen!

Despite my views on this threads existence (or at any rate its location). The support for Kamala (pronounced comma-la apparently not like Kampala minus the p) is hugely encouraging, maybe she can actually beat that orange, felonious, lying, narcissistic, would be demagogue after all. I fucking hope so.

Get at him

7 Labour MPs suspended by Starmer for supporting an SNP amendment. Doesn’t seem very democratic…

Aye, I'll confess to having just caught most of that speech At the very least it's game on. Bring on the first debate, I'm thinking her forensic knowledge of the law and experience in interrogating felons might just find a way to provoke some inappropriate eruption from Trump. At the very least the Democrats may be considering the best triggers to put in her hands to set off someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

BANANA is our 2023-34 Champion! previous post here: So far, as I compile lists, I have come across two names which I find too far from celebrity to qualify. Jenny Appleford (I am not really on board with the idea that anyone with a website or twitter account is considered an "influencer" these days) and Chickadee Cardwell (who seems to be a relative of someone barely famous, which is a reach). I am not going to check every name on every list, but these were particular to follow up on since a team owner was dubious enough to include a sub in the event the first name didn't pass muster. Smart move, if you did that, I put in your sub! Other dubious names that DID qualify included Kirsty Smitten, who had already made significant headlines in the medical world for a new breed of antibiotics, and Tylee Craft, a wideout for the North Carolina State Tar Heels. Absolutely! Another issue is that we have a few players who will run afoul of the new rule this year that eliminates scoring with titles such as Queen at the Q, and Princess at the P, etc. Ah well, minor handicaps to overcome with no chances to score at those spots.
