Apparently these Real Housewives shows are really popular but never watched one myself

American reality tv star Candiace Dillard, formerly of Real Housewives of potomac fame, has given birth to her first child. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14079445/RHOP-Candiace-Dillard-baby-husband-Chris-Bassett-IVF.html

I was one of those relatives and I observed a nurse telling another patients family visitors that their mother/nan was refusing to eat / left their food untouched, when the issue was not patient refusal. The awful stories I could tell. This incident was back in 2005 but based on what I hear from friends and family, today the problem seems both still endemic and systemic sadly.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarissa_Eden Noticed there wasn't a thread for Clarissa Eden, the widow of Former UK Prime Minister Anthony Eden who was forced out of office in the 1950s over the controversial Suez Crisis. Now aged 96,I feel she is worthy of her own thread so here it is!

Your too kind! But thank you.

And I am still hoping that I will be able to contribute to that effort and grand total even at this late stage...!

Many thanks. She is more and more on my radar.

Any sign of his sister Princess Alexandra?

Yes no reoccurence thank goodness. Still managing most years to holiday abroad at least twice a year including to Malta once a year. We'd never have dared to imagine such a possibility back when he was diagnosed in 2015. Thank you.

Very sad. My Dad had colon cancer nearly 10 years ago but was caught early at stage one and is thankfully still with us.

I have been following the news avidly and perhaps too deeply and too much for months , since the UK general election was called really. Reading the aftermath debate on here and elsewhere makes me feel it was the right decision of mine earlier this week to now distract myself by throwing myself into binges on IPLAYER and diving into the world of crumpled paper lists and old internet bookmarks trying to pick my slate of juicy unique picks for the 2025 DDP and a good mix of names for other pools. Strange as it may sound I am finding the world of potential famous people dying quite therauptic and relaxing compared to the news alternative ! For any poster feeling quite overwhelmed, worked up and anxious I recommend this past time as a sanity saver!

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!

Don't think it will make any difference to the running order and I appreciate this game is closed but Ron Ely is a 'hit' for me . He died in September it seems but news only became public in recent hours.

Dad bods can be sexy .. !
