Kenneth Mayhew dead at 104.

@chilean way Kenneth Mayhew is a hit for a lot of teams.

Blackie Dammett dead: http://anthonykiedis.net/2021/05/rip-blackie-dammett/

Dead. Also, Stefán Þorleifsson, oldest man in Iceland and Six people, six months pick died completely off our radar on 14th of March: https://www.visir.is/g/20212084947d

Actually she qualifies as she has her own IMDB page as an actor rather than because she has a famous daughter (which would not be sufficient). In her case it's a very fringy career right on the debatable line but that's why she's in not because she has a famous daughter. Terry Lubbock qualifies because he was famously campaigning about his son's death before he was dying of cancer and therefore has prior fame (all be it that fame is as a result of his son's death).

Yeah, but with the issues with Brexit, 150,000 coronavirus deaths, an incredibly dodgy Prime Minister and a lobbying scandal, you can never be sur...oh wait. You can.

Every show would be main evented by Ryback and New Jack by default...

Southern California veteran musician Rob Farr, best known as the bass player for WARRIOR, has passed away at 58.

Canadian porn performer who was infected with HIV on her first film-shoot in the US (during a double anal scene), since when she's become an occasional outspoken critic of the porn industry and the subject of a documentary (Inside Lara Roxx), though her day-to-day life has calmed down a lot since she quit porn, went to rehab and started a career in tech support back in her native Canada. Basically, I started this thread because the chaotic lives of some pornsters (including drug use, mental baggage and a tendency to reckless living amongst a few of them) means they're potentially valuable picks, especially in those dead pools that give higher points for younger stiffs (heh heh)

Airdrie and Shotts held by the SNP. Increased vote, reduced majority. Yep, system works, ha! Also, the writ was moved for Cheryl Gillan's seat the other day.

MMMDP Form Guide #12 Abdulaziz Bouteflika Put it this way, as a former Algerian president and newsworth despotic kind who clung to power long past the point the majority of Algerians thought it a good idea, yer man is nailed on qualifying obit fodder in the most exacting of dead pools (and MMMDP isn't exactly, exacting - though the DL Cup's standards do finally provide a yardstick by which we can claim some standards). Oh aye, and...Boutelflika belongs in the form guide first and foremost because it's advisable when posting anything about him to check he's still alive. When the "he's already dead" stories have flown in the past nobody's thought them fantastic, they've simply waited for confirmation - which is expected sometime soon,

Jack Terricloth, who has led Brooklyn's World/Inferno Friendship Society for 25 years, has died at age 50. Born Pietro Ventantonio in 1970, he was first a member of Bridgewater, NJ punk band Sticks and Stones in the late '80s and early '90s before forming World/Inferno F.S. The band's first album was 1997's The True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League and they'd go on to release six more albums, the most recent of which was 2020's All Borders Are Porous to Cats. Jack was the sole constant in the group, which saw over 40 members pass through over the years. https://www.brooklynvegan.com/rest-in-peace-jack-terricloth-of-worldinferno-friendship-society/

Arranger, educator, and beloved pianist Norman Simmons, who collaborated with such luminaries as Helen Humes, Sarah Vazghan and Anita O'Day, died at 91 years: https://www.wbgo.org/music/2021-05-13/norman-simmons-pianist-who-made-an-elegant-art-out-of-accompaniment-dies-at-91 He arranged Ramsey Lewis' "Wade in the Water" in 1966. It became a huge commercial hit for the two. And he also worked with the legendary Joe Williams.

Grumpy Cat , the legendary cat with a permanently frowny expression who has found fame as a meme and a YouTube sensation and whose real name was Tardar Sauce , died of an urinary tract infection on this date in 2019 at the age of 7. And suddenly... life will no longer be possible. Because... life is tough enough as it is, you know?

MMMDP Form Guide #12 Pat Carroll Anyone passing up on the ailing 94 year old actress could end up a Poor Unfortunate Soul this June

Now now girlies. LXX is fine.

Gary Cooper, one of Hollywood's most beloved legends and greatest stars known for his natural acting style and generally admired for his professionalism, died of prostate and colon cancer while sleeping peacefully under sedation. Cooper, winner of two Academy Awards and one honorary, died in the quiet of his Holmby Hills home on this date in 1961. He was 60 years old. Initially interred at Holy Cross Cemetery in Santa Monica, Cooper's remains were moved to Sacred Heart Cemetery in South Hampton, Long Island, closer to the family.

Just a point - if we were all part of an equal UK, nobody would have been left behind. Nobody would need levelling up. What level? It's all pish. Anyway, back to the speech - we will create jobs, look at social care, draw up measures on this, propose on that. It was bloody awful. I think the only definites were lock people up for longer and make it harder for people to vote. These are their priorities after this past year? C'mon, Betty should have stood up and walked away.

Little Richard was wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-dead one year ago, aged 87.

Have you tried googling her?

Wes Streeting is taken time off from his new front bench shadow cabinet role to receive treatment for kidney cancer

Mother in law died yesterday aged 68, a miracle she lived as long as she did to be fair as she has been on her ‘last legs’ since about 2010 when she had cancer the first time, cancer took her in the end almost certainly brought on by her decades of alcoholism which she almost died of several times, she was told time and again she needed to stop drinking but she never listened or tried to stop. Sad she died but she could of prevented it or at least tried .
