In Scotland we call that "taking a header". Ironic, really.

Ronnie Rees QO: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67278535 @time

I think you will be ok for a QO - Welsh International for years, the stroke and in poor health for a while.

DDP pick for @time Ronnie Rees reportedly dead: https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2023/october/obituary-ronnie-rees-1944-2023/ Part of the sky blue revolution by Jimmy Hill at Coventry, also a Welsh international.

I note he is survived by his wife Constance Carling, an uncredited role in Spearhead From Space for Doctor Who but played a lot of WPCs especially in Z Cars.

Documentary filmmaker Dick Fontaine being reported dead: He's the man who filmed the Fabs at the Cavern Club for their first ever TV appearance. He also covered their first US tour (though the footage was essentially nicked by Albert Maysles). He has made many docs on jazz figures including Forum fave Sonny Rollins, but his best known work seems to be I Heard It Through The Grapevine (1982), a James Baldwin presented doc on the civil rights struggle of the Nineteen Sixties.

Quite clearly he needed the room on his phone for outgoing and incoming wine orders from the local offy...

Charlie Aitken QO: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24564835/charlie-aitken-aston-villa-dead-record-appearances/

Not really the place for it, but another one I couldn't get was The Royle Family. Not one titter from me. There wasn't a laugh in it in my opinion.

I believe I feel the same way about The Office (or any Gervais written/starring television/film) and The In-Betweeners/Friday Night Dinner. All subjective.

The One With The Empty Seat At Thanksgiving...

Absolutely. There are some real assassins on this Forum who mention folk out of the blue and the next thing they are dead.

Or it could be that she is easier to finger under the Cabinet table if she is sitting next to him.

Ah, it's the only team I really research. So I have to compile all the names and groups for the whole of 1988 from the charts which is the time consuming bit first. So it's a long list at the moment. But my shortlist could easily be 30-40 names at the moment at a glance! That's before I start looking at the acid house buggers! Not to mention that a couple of locks I had for next year are gone - Robbie Robertson in particular.
