EO Wilsons death moves my top sub Lloyd Morrisett into my team.

Could be a good shout.

Yesterday the Queens cousin HRH Princess Alexandra turned 85.

No comment! Good boys don't kiss and tell!!

I put high store by the brilliant DDP pool. I always made a broader point than just the official deathlist by the committee. Both are good barometers as are things like the list of the missed where noteworthy names like Anne Rice were not selected but still add to the enema vibe.

On the contrary....!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-59727246 Hope this is the right thread. Vic Emery the first chairman of the Scottish police authority , has died aged 77 in a traffic accident.

I find creeps easier to handle than cunts!

I will try my best for you but sometimes as my great aunt used to say things are better out than in!!

More significant names to add to this year's tally.

I think 2021 still has a bit more to reveal yet too....

Thanks. I'm surprised it's not a bit higher but there's still time.

Why did you change your name from Creep to Cunto?

Yes the Instagram story is very curious. I have never used the Instagram story function so I have no idea how it works.

Desmond Tutu a'hit' for me in this pool. I will replace him with footballer Bobby Moncur please.

Ray Illingworth?

Janice Long on her daughters Instagram story tonight. Looks like a major cock up and false alarm. Seems Mr McNabb who was in a position to know as he has Janice's mobile number so was in a position to verify and thus treated as credible , repeated to a quite a few people what he'd read somewhere without verifying himself and it was taken as reliable and spread out from there. Crazy daft situation but arguably Janice might find it funny! Perhaps Mr McNabb had a bit too much Christmas sherry and wasn't as careful as usual. Probably best put it down to that!

https://twitter.com/empiresend?t=a142u4AMBQdoyX2JlnIrtA&s=09 I can confirm that my friends key source is this guy from the Liverpool music scene Ian McNabb. He is discussing the issue openly on social media so I am not breaking any confidences and he is now casting doubt on the news after initially sharing it and says he has texted Janice Long and will report back and has deleted his initial tweet until its confirmed either way. He seems to be many peoples initial source and he has told people away from social media also so will cause quite a bit of a stir if it turns out not to be true. It was known she was quite ill so if its not true I suspect its on the cards within months but if Janice is still with us she may quite likely take it with humour rather than insult!

My source was discussing Janice Longs passing on their private Facebook account. They are known for being a big fan of and involved in the local music and radio scene in the north weamst. They are always posting especially pre covid about music events both large and smthat They attend and without giving away too much had a few boozy social drinks with some of the people on this scene. If a band member or journalist/reporter has confirmed this too them , knowing this person as I do I would put my faith in what they say they have been told. Other people on the account asked them if it was true because they knew they would be in the know or in the loop. I think the delay in confirmation really is just about it being Christmas week. Edited to include this below posts for fuller information. Don't want to be disingenuous and delete above and make it look like I didn't repeat the mistaken information when I did but it looks like a major case of fake news.

Trusted reliable sources in Liverpool are indicating this is true to me sadly although obviously I don't expect that to be accepted as formal confirmation on here which will be forthcoming fairly soon anyway.

And Jane Powell!

Excellent suggestion

Ooh you've got me curious although I know you won't spill the beans you'll just dangle and tease!! Any sign of Vera Miles being a dark horse?!
