I think the idea of theme-based KoS games is really good and I'm sure that there will definitely be some games that I'll play - but for heaven's sake not Hip Hop, of course! But basically, thanks to everyone who keeps this game alive, either as a game master or as a player. Nobody could have guessed that at the beginning! That's great!

Well, sorta important. She will need a pacemaker implanted. Official statement from the Norwegian Royal House

Tony Book, who played for Bath City (1956-1964) and Manchester City (1966-1974) amongst others, dead aged 90. He later went on to manage Manchester City. Obituaries: Daily Mirror, Guardian, BBC, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Daily Star, Independent

Says he is well and just old and has no plans to resign. I think he'll stay as Pope until he dies unless his mental faculties decline.

A meme, but what a fucking meme!!

Thanks. From the list you quoted I've updated it to include Baron Walsingham (born 1925) who is still alive. Somehow I missed him when I compiled it. Both the Earl of Elgin and Baron Walsingham are World War II veterans. The Viscount Knutsford wasn't, despite being old enough to serve.

Well I'm not asking the BBC for my "Jim fixed it for me" badge back after I returned it to them in an unmarked package with a suitably horrified letter. Come to that I'm still a bit concerned about my Crackerjack Pencil to be honest.

Buck White of The Whites has died aged 94.

Toast is right here.You cant discount a geniuses work and pretend it never existed.To do so is cultural vandalism.

I'll sit this one out, hip hop just isn't my thing, there isn't a single song here I would have on my playlists, sorry guys hope you have fun with this game.

Colin Carter of prog rock band Flash, who did nothing in the UK but reached #29 in the States with Small Beginnings, reportedly dead: https://dmme.net/colin-carter-passed-away/ Got 10 minutes to spare?

When the list gets to a more manageable size I might have a listen tochoose a horse to back and One to take out into the yard armed with a shotgun

Kenneth Cope and Agnes Keleti recent fallers here. Can't be many left now after over a decade, @Octopus of Odstock?

Even Hadoke hears that Dave Carter has died, but I'm afraid there's nothing certain as yet.

José "Cha Cha" Jiménez dead at 76. He founded The Young Lords, which started out as a gang and became a civil rights organization. Pretty important name here in Chicago.

I hope that doesn't mean all his books will be rounded up and pulped. That seems to be the way things are heading now.

It's been a while since anyone suggested Roman Polanski. He turns 92 in August. Still seems to be fairly active. But has had a number of health issues over the years along with a number of legal issues.

Cecilia Bartholomew is trolling and claiming ‘she’ has heard from his family that he has died. In a sign of how bad Twitter/X is now ‘she’ has brought herself a verified tick.

I think we all went for the wrong Little Mix members! Jesy Nelson pregnant with twins.

The pair of them are going on tour together this summer in a new play. https://www.westendtheatre.com/269927/news/by-royal-appointment-starring-anne-reid-caroline-quentin-to-premiere-at-theatre-royal-bath-and-tour/

Go on then, I really should be sweeping up the debris in the Casino, remaking the beds and going snorkelling with the dolphin, but I'll join up for...I want to say fun.

I'm on mobile and I can't find options
