Nobody picked August 26 for Barker afaik. Thadee close with August 27, but no winners.

Bob Barker QO: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12448591/The-Price-Right-host-Bob-Barker-dies-99.html Of course.

I did not have Bob Barker here. So as @machotrouts makes a welcome return to updates, we need another to add to the two already outstanding.

Crikey! Getting close to the win already for someone.

99 without going over! Bob Barker was selected only here by me and the Committee also. YW - 13; DL - 11.

Cross-posting Bob Feldman's death report here. Couldn't let the following titbits pass. Corey Feldman's dad. Co-wrote Sorrow, a hit for The Merseys and covered by David Bowie, as well as I Want Candy which eventually became a UK hit for Bow Wow Wow.

Jamie Raskin said on CNN just there he is cancer free.

Ohio George Montgomery, US drag racer, reportedly dead: https://www.nhra.com/news/2023/early-nhra-gasser-star-indy-winner-ohio-george-montgomery-passes-away I have no idea about all the tech specs mentioned in his obit. Someone will, I'm sure. Apparently one of the first NHRA superstars.

Rather fortunate to be able to sing in English that year. Looks like Smets was also the songwriter. While it's a quirky little song, what took me aback was the absolutely unnecessary "vaginal shots" of the girls. Those BBC cameramen....

Grand Old Party bitch slap fest! Actually more nutters than I thought! Go Haley!

This appears to be the aforesaid Edward Toms' death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/toms-notices_53083 Says he was from Hythe in this article, which ties in with the notice: https://www.kentonline.co.uk/hythe/news/second-world-war-hero-celebrates-100th-birthday-238921/
