Still in, shitting bricks at the Hit List Christmas Special, but Wham absent from the final list of songs. Got Mariah when I was at the shops earlier.

I say old bean, I wasn't sure where to put this, because it's not often an embroiderer has their own Wiki page. Lady Belinda Douglas-Scott-Montagu, ex-wife of the late the 3rd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu and mother of the 4th Baron, reportedly dead:

From Duterte's thread: Jose Maria Sison aka Joma Sison reportedly dead: https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2022/12/17/2231445/cpp-founder-joma-sison-dies-83

So when Sydney Samuelson is added, stuck on 269 hits with a fortnight or so to go. SPOTY is next week so we should mop up another 2 I'd say for sure. Cold snap about to end, will the relatively milder weather save the body count from increasing?

Last picked last year - omitted from the DDP this year.

From the appropriate Scavvy Hunt thread: There's occasional tweets that Charlene Mitchell has died, but no reporting so far. Hoax? And if so, why would anyone bother?

Report that former pick of mine but I believe a current DDP pick anyway, Sydney Samuelson British Film Commissioner, has died:

Thanks for the mention @Death Impends on Jet Black's obit.

Was on Facebook for years, but I've been off it for longer. I'm not actively engaging with social media. Well except here, I get all the abuse I need on here....

Reports that rally driver Barry Barrable, whose headaches turned out to be a brain tumour, has died. I'll see if I can find a positive confirmation. Edit: Nothing on his GoFundMe or Twitter except the clickbait.
