Happy 84th birthday

Saturday: 1165 - Owain Gwynedd tells the English in Wales to fuck off.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/55860080 Cancer now gone from the Brain, Liver and Lungs but he still needs Chemo every fortnight and might have to for the rest of his life.

This appears to be a Wallingford in the USA, not the Wallingford in Oxfordshire (or Occupied North Berkshire, as some call it).

Maxine Cheshire, whom Frank Sinatra once called a two-dollar cunt, died.

Hilton Valentine lived in Wallingford according to this: https://www.myrecordjournal.com/News/Wallingford/Wallingford-News/Wallingford-resident-Hilton-Valentine-rock-guitarist-for-the-Animals-dies-at-77.html?fbclid=IwAR2NIOXm-NU3UEMKu9cXWj5BmbX94oCTduIqWmy0LKsEn2S9sXtU7NEaJRo Wonder how many locals even knew about his past. Like I've shared earlier hereabouts, a Maidstonian used to mutter about his pop music past whilst supping in a town centre pub. Several people didn't believe a word - but he was a former Pretty Thing and nationally obitted when he went.

Thanks - amended with link to a news article instead.

Thank you. Both 60s and 70s entries updated. Cause of death not released yet. Seemed to be in a pretty good shape in recent years so be interesting to find out.

Exactly. Name one person who this thread was needed for. Just give me a name.

The “dying in 3s” thing is bullshit anyway

Cloris died on 27 Jan - no need to be in such a hurry - death is a permanent state after all.

Not me I am tied for first

Oh damn. Chilling indeed. Sounds very much like a suicide when you mix this tweet with how they "tragically" found him dead at home.

No. I think he was still seasonally visiting family in India as recent as a few years back. That’s maybe where the confusion lies. He moved to the U.K. in the 1960s, and as of August 2020, still lived in Goodmayes, which is a part of Ilford in London.

You dirty bastard. You dirty fucker. What a fucking rotter.

Died abroad in Athens. She suffered a fall and required a blood transfusion according to friends on social media, but died several hours later. The Guardian are saying she had "climbed up" somewhere at 4am to watch the full moon and then slipped. Sounds like a drunken idea that's gone horribly wrong.
