Sir Creep

Would be interested in your 'draft' format - PM me no reason to blow up the pages here. I'll have more questions than you have answers lol. Sounds fun.

I kept him my wee secret but that secret was out Jan 1 (didn't have the balls to put him on DDP for obvs) Deane Sutherland - guitar player for Satellite Spies, some Kiwi outfit from 25 years ago. Given a few months to live, the Big C.

Chicory Tip? the fuck?

Just needed sayin: Damn you @Predictor how did you find Jeffrey Foskett? And/or why didn't everyone? Almost a solo for me (You can say the same I reckon lol) And who is "Once You Go Black' ... stole my unique joker again. Lastly, how did I get Ken Wilkinson as a unique? Irish, politician, given 9 months or so to live, posted on DL, easy to locate. I'll take it! Sadly, it appears the ARCHIVES are unlinked presently....I was going to see how many 'hits' I've had so far, can't be many. SC

Unless they did something of distinction beyond being a member of the House (see: Bob Dole, Edwin Edwards), I'd consider leaving some of these names alone. We are still waiting for an obit of any kind beyond a local Indiana one for Roger Zion, who was the oldest surviving member of the House when he died recently. Not even New York Times material, apparently. Obvs to each their own, but that is a rule I'll be operating under from now on. At least it only hurt me in the ABC deadpool. SC

That post really did deserve more love. Instead utter bollocks around here gets 5 likes. Anyway, well done, Roey.

The son of the founder of a bagel dynasty in London admitted to killing his mother and sister, after deciding his defence was full of holes.

The founding director of the National Gallery of Australia, James Mollison, has died aged 88. Mollison was most renowned as the person who coordinated the then-controversial purchase of Jackson Pollock’s abstract expressionist painting Blue Poles in 1973. The NGA paid $1.3m for the work – now worth about $350m – a sum that required approval from the prime minister at the time, Gough Whitlam. Mollison died of a heart attack on Sunday morning. SC

FTFY

For Christ sake, that's a typical house party in Detroit. Should I be posting the 450+ homicides from that city alone in 2020? I mean.... THREE, heavens. At one time? Good lord.

You telling me we've never had a Russian (white or black, a little alcohol humour there)??
