Thanks everyone, not stopped for a breath sorting things out. The old sympathy cards flood has begun! Off down the bank to get the funeral paid. I'm finding it quite amusing that me old mum died a month before Thatcher expired and Oldwillz went just before May stood down. Which probably indicates quite how tired I am.

"Oohhh no missus, really, titter ye not!" "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" Damn, I missed that episode.

Seems obvious to me. He got chills, they're multiplying.

He died of debility and decline. That's like something off a Victorian death certificate. Just seems odd to be evasive about the actual illness, given that he was a doctor himself and they go into such detail about his specialisations.

Ron Stevenson - likely hauled himself into low-hanging-fruit obit points after being obliged to re-apply for benefits despite a serious dose of Motor Neurone Disease. Dunno how they expected him to be fit for work (maybe hatching baby chicks under his blanket or being hauled into position next to large windows in public buildings to block drafts from leaky windows) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-sussex-48369940/terminally-ill-man-forced-to-reapply-for-benefits?intlink_from_url=&link_location=live-reporting-map

Sorry about your loss.

A gay-hater named Devine? Pah...

If Danny Trejo says my dick doesn't work, I'm not going to argue with him.

Another One Bites the Dust May will be end of June. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-48394091 They'll be number 6 of my life. They'll be number 5 of this century. They'll be number 14 of the post-war era.

Kathleen Blanco jokes about death rumors, “no longer” in hospice care. I’d take the second part with a grain of salt.

She will get articles and maybe some front pages (Broadsheets where more stories make the front page) because she is the last well known star of 1930's hollywood and one of the most iconic films of all time but it won't be a top headline job unlike what Doris got and what Vera will get.

The reaper decided you're the one that I want.

Absurdity. Nope. I'm pretty sure Biblio would have clocked the meaning. Maybe it doesn't translate across to the dimmer side of the Atlantic - it's the reaction equivalent of "well jealous" and was meant as a bit of fun.

Edinburgh Zoo have announced the death of Jambi, their oldest Sumatran tiger. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-7062459/Sumatran-tiger-Jambi-dies-Edinburgh-Zoo.html It is not known if he had just given up, never having been invited to tea.

If Kilroy was here, I guess he's not anymore.

One of the most iconic and enigmatic first ladies of U.S. history, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, died on this day 25 years ago, aged 64.

Totting up those percentages, you have estimated that 12 of these people (more precisely, 11.6 of these people) will be dead in the next 7 and a half months. Congratulations on your impending turnaround!

She was such a guilty pleasure of mine. Everyone prolly has one, Plato was absolutely mine. I see reruns of that show and STILL think the sun rises and sets on her, I still see her through my 17-yr old eyes and my god she was all I wanted. Sir Creep misses you Dana Plato.

Time for this legend to get his own thread:

Is he famous enough?

And now he’s gone. Lived a good long life though...

OldWillz died today of cancer. Pain free at last. I've been running about for months sorting stuff out while he was in the hospital, now he's gone. Kept it quiet because it's been cool to have something else to occupy me. Orphan now.
