Rolf Harris was drawn by both Committee and myself: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60393842 YW - 6; DL - 6.

I think Rolf Harris takes me to 5 hits here.

Rolf Harris is my sixth hit here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60393842

Rolf Harris gets me a hit on this pool - two to go!

Rolf Harris was my top pick for this competition this year. Obviously he appeared on Celebrity Squares (points) and also panto (points) for example: However, a quick look for morris dancing turns up this confirmation of Rolf joining a group for a dance (points): https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/6413735.rhythm-sticks/ Crimes against humanity bonus at the runner's option.

Rolf Harris was not a pick for me. Did you want him to survive?

My remembered chronology is a bit shaky of this era - obviously the first trip to Hamburg was a nightmare - I think McCartney took a job and had to be persuaded back, and took on the bass after Lennon and Harrison said they wouldn't do it. Anyhow, it appears that one of the Best family has confirmed the death of Chas Newby:

Interesting source claiming that Chas Newby has died: Obviously there might be something on the Facialnovel, but again I'd need a better source or corroboration to be sure. I don't think he ever went to Hamburg @ladyfiona merely a temporary infill after Stu Sutcliffe stayed there.

Terry McDermott, competed at three Winter Olympics for the USA in the 500m speed skating, winning gold in 1964 (the only gold for the US at those games) and silver in 1968, reportedly dead: He had missed the '64 closing ceremony to appear on the Ed Sullivan show, which was also the night The Beatles debuted on that show.

Algy Ward, another bassist reportedly dead: Were reports that he had not been well recently on the book of face. Not a huge fan of Rat Scabies of the Damned. Edit: https://blabbermouth.net/news/tank-founder-algy-ward-dead-at-63

Report that British choreographer Dougie Squires, responsible for the dance troupes The Young Generation and The Second Generation which appeared on various TV shows for about 30+ years, has died: Yes, I thought he was already dead too.

He's been busy I know what with all his soap appearances on top of the day job. Too busy for death? Extraordinary!

Various reports emerging on the Twittlesphere that George Logan aka Dr Evadne Hinge of Hinge and Bracket, has died: A DDP pick under the Evadne Hinge moniker. Awaiting the usuals.

Express has "insiders" claims: https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1772611/Belarus-Lukashenko-Russia-illness-death So, probably nothing to see here.

Come on.

And....bullshit as expected:

I wouldn't worry too much, just went back on and the aforesaid Broony has deleted his tweet. That could be because the family want further time to inform on their own terms, or he has realised it's bullshit. However, we are prepared....

Dis guy right here, he says according to friends and family of Christy Dignam that he has died: Anyone believe Broony? Obviously I like better sources lol.
