Gooseberry Crumble

Thought it would be a good thing to have as a counterbalance to all the discussion on deaths and ill health to have a thread dedicated to the reporting of births of new life to celebrities and famous people https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12067247/lauren-pope-gives-birth-baby-girl/ We start of with the birth of a baby girl called Raine to ex TOWIE reality tv star Lauren Pope.

I've got a very strong feeling and sense that 2021 is going to be just as much a watershed, landmark end of an era kind of year as we embark further into the 2020s. I think an unusually high number of big and significant names will finally pass away in 2021. Perhaps even more so than in 2020.A year we can all see as being a big and unusually significant year for celebrity deaths with icons, legends and big names like Vera Lynn, Barbara Windsor, Kirk Douglas, Sean Connery, Stirling Moss, Olivia de Havilland, Nobby Stiles, Diego Maradona, Jack Charlton and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dying. Anybody get the feeling that 2021 in terms of not just official deathlist but wider deadpooling of famous people is going to be another unusually momentous end of an era type of year? Yes I know many will be sceptical despite the enema 'succeeding' in terms of this years famous deaths and will not keep the faith but indulge an irrational fetish for clear minded analysis and faithlessness in 2021 despite a proven track record but I really feel my prediction and sense of the year ahead is just as accurate for the year ahead as it was for the past year. I think doubters and sceptics will be confounded so please keep the faith and an open mind with regards to the enema!

Britney?

Being internationally known is not an essential part of the criteria of this thread and never was but I echo what others have said like @TQR - patience is needed. Multiple clusters or clusterfucks of big name deaths are still possible, there is plenty of time.

I too have found sitting on the toilet to be very therapeutic at times- some of my DDP picks were confirmed whilst sitting on the toilet!

Deadly farts are coming keep the faith!!
