Martin Van Buren, 8th President of the good old U S of A, died 155 years ago, age 79.

He could be death. You never seen the two of them in the same place now...

Nope, I am within walking distance of the Mirror's offices though. Might pop my head around the corner and tell them to hurry up on ol' Jagraj.

Telegraph obit

That a new record from mention to death?

Actually, up until a few years back, I didn't even know that it was a cover, let alone, one that was only a year or two old, before it was covered. For years, the only XTC song that I knew was Dear God, until I found out other songs, that were played on the radio, that I knew, were by them.

Looked like death since he became famous, really.

If Bush dies I'll kill him again....I don't have time right now for a win, 2nd place is good enough If I win, can I split it with the sliver medal somehow? You know, so I don't do anything just hold the trophy and maybe give 2 out of 5 ideas? Just a thought. Don't get me wrong, I want to win, but I am too lazy to do what Rover did up there....

I maybe should have said confirmed.

Thatcher linked to a Twitter post (which might not be regarded as a reliable source), while YW cited a proper newspaper article. (Although one would have had to be very quick to pick him for any DP before he was declared dead.)

20 years since Brian Glover got his final kick up the Aris

Sherman Hemsley died 5 years ago today.

Perfect place for.Michael Buble.

Well what do ya know, the above link got updated to mention Sonny West's death! Perhaps the Mirror editor who lurks here has a Mail job as well...

As one town elects an animal mayor, another loses theirs - Stubbs, the feline mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska since 1997, has died aged 20. A hardy critter even in his later years, having survived a dog attack in 2013.

Ah yes, all that cake, and those noodly things as well. Spätzle, that's it. Yum.

I hope the turd you dropped wasn't as forced as that joke.

You are a nice lad.

As is mine. Why am I not on there? I banned you from chat in 2015 ffs (okay it was only because Hein was watching but still) Get it sorted pal.

Frankly, I would have been disappointed not to have been on the list.

I get quoted and a reply when I'm on the List?...aaaayyyyyyyee

Put together your ignore list. Now, doesn't the site look a who lot nicer. Goodbye riff raff.

I had a look through the Wikipedia page for people who have ALS, and I found the ones who are still alive, and compiled a list of what they're known for (to help theme teams), what age they are and when they were diagnosed. Augie Nieto (entrepreneur, 58/59, diagnosed in 2005) Fernando Ricksen (footballer, 40, diagnosed in 2013) Marian Cisovsky (footballer, 37, diagnosed in 2014) Stephen Hillenburg (cartoonist, 55, diagnosed in 2017) Stephen Hawking (physicist, 75, diagnosed in 1963) Steve Gleason (American football, 40, diagnosed in 2011) Jerome Golmard (tennis, 43, diagnosed in 2014) Neale Daniher (Aussie rules, 56, diagnosed in 2013) Dwight Clark (American football, 60, diagnosed in 2017) Jeff Capel II (American football, 64, diagnosed in 2014) OJ Brigance (American football, 47, diagnosed in 2007) Jason Becker (guitarist, 47, diagnosed in 1990)

To be honest that would be like stirring a tin of paint with a toothpick.
