    So yeah, you're not done with me as DDP co-host yet. No one offered to take up the mantle, but doing slimmer obits has made things considerably easier and pretty much "TMIB redux"-proofed the front page. In fact I don't think there will be any changes for next year, rule or personnel wise, outside of acknowledging that The Times is a .com website now rather than .co.uk. The DDP 2025 thread and launch will be coming over the weekend.

    Comes out in favour of assisted dying.Mentions he is on the last type of chemo available and that it isn't stopping some of his 15 tumours growing but is limiting the rate of growth.

    Some happy news I want to share with all of you: about two months ago, my wife and I became parents for the first time. Our son is in good health and growing well, just as my wife has recovered well from giving birth. Our daily lives have changed massively, but we're lucky enough to have lots of loved ones who are there for us in these changing times. We're both completely in love with our boy, and it's great to see him learn new things.

    Last night I finished Blake's 7. Having been a Doctor Who fan since I was young I had always heard great things about it, but even my highest expectations were blown out of the water. That ending left me standing up, yelling at my TV. It's hard to pick a favourite character but it would probably be Vila, with Jenna and Avon coming not so far behind. The only main character who left me feeling nothing was Soolin. Personally I preferred series 1 Travis to series 2. The only thing I knew going in was that Blake left after series 2 and I was fully expecting the series to decline after that, but I found the third series to be the best. Hard to pick a favourite episode, but I think season 3 episode 2 'Powerplay' would probably take it for me.

    It looks like we've lost a song along the way. I don't see it being eliminated, I think it got lost off the bottom when someone copied the previous score board. 06 Wildchild - Renegade Master '98 Please would the next person to post add this back in.

    There are many many more I guess. To cite a notable one, Ivanne Trebbi (wiki), born 1928 and also a deputy in the 80s.

    Speaking of Misty, it appears she may have deleted her Instagram and X accounts. They were the most frequent sources for updates and photos of Steve.

    Well this year has been a disaster huh? You know the drill, nominate your favorite Pokemon from Nebraska that the committee will promptly ignore. I think Rex Williams would be a good boomerang pick, was picked back in 1990, and he’s getting up there in age. Last time we had a big boomerang pick it was successful with George Cole, I’m just saying

    Edmund Ironside died on this day 1008 years ago, aged 26. - Edmund was the third son of Ethelred the Unready. Growing up, the Danish/Norwegians would invade England, and Edmund would lead a war to drive them out in 1014. - Edmund's father died in April of 1016, with Londoners recognizing him as the new king (Edmund II); others saw King Cnut as a legitimate monarch. Edmund's reign was brief and known for the continuing struggle against the Danes, lasting only seven months before his death. Cnut would succeed him regardless of what people thought of his claims. - The most well-known story regarding Edmund's death was that he was stabbed by an enemy soldier while he was going to the bathroom, but an earlier suggestion says he was poisoned. Contemporary reports, however, do not mention the murder at all, meaning that it was more likely he died of natural causes (perhaps a viral disease).

    Aussie acting legend Jack Thompson is worth a consideration imo. He's been being kept alive by thrice weekly dialysis for the past few years after kidney failure due to cancer. 85 next year and is looking increasingly ancient.

    Could be vital dead pooling information in there, like the fact his meds have scrambled his brain or - more likely - he's inactive to the point he needs voice activated software to keep up the social media. Top 2025 talent, if that's the case
