Serial killer and perennial DDP Pick Robert Maudsley gets coverage in the Echo: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpools-cannibal-killer-set-die-22148514 However, can't for the life of me find anything that suggests he is unwell.

Sounds a lot better today at PMQs. At which he has metaphorically and repeatedly been booted in the balls by the Opposition and the Speaker.

Several leading or supporting players not mentioned at all. Anyway, wonder how much they are getting paid.

Louis Bimpson dead at 92: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/former-liverpool-player-louis-bimpson-22178881 Liverpool, Blackburn and Rochdale.

Don't forget a certain Olivia Newton John's interest in all of this: I preferred this to Musclebound by Spandau Ballet, simply for the decoration of the ahem set....

When you go walking, picking the Countess of Avon, she was a beautiful woman, does anyone care? (Wonder if anyone will get the song reference?) Clarissa Eden has resisted temptation for being a successful pick for many a year, but her fight is over. A hit for me (YoungWillz), theoldlady and Caleb H. No bonuses. A sub pick for Torva Messor, who draws the 4 Clubs for 4 Points added, and also for Banana, who draws 9 Clubs for 9 Points added. Leaderboard updated.

I'm actually worried about the apparent deterioration in his health since this morning. (I'm kinda hoping it's something long and lingering though, the less we see of him, the better I feel!).

Sounds fucking terrible at the despatch box today. That wasn't the case when he was giving interviews this morning (did notice then his herpes simplex was flaring up). Summat up, or a precursor to him pulling out of PMQs this week?

Sir Alexander Boswell commands a coming cremation: https://www.islandfm.com/news/guernsey/former-lieutenant-governor-dies/

The roar of a Lisbon Lion has gone. Bertie Auld a sub pick only for Perhaps, who draws 6 Spades for 6 Points Added. Leaderboard updated.

Joe Siracusa, a drummer for Spike Jones and his City Slickers back in the 1940s, being reported dead aged 99: Sound effects and music editor for many years on many popular animations as per his IMDB above.

If we must have a dedicated thread then we must place Bertie Auld's death here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59284380 *strikes his name from shortlist*

Nothing in the broadsheets as I write, but Henry Woolf would have QO-ed at least via Yahoo: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/saskatoon-theatre-legend-henry-woolf-164212343.html

Beaten to it. Have a translated obit: https://www-lorientlejour-com.translate.goog/article/1281494/lartiste-etel-adnan-est-decedee-a-paris.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB&_x_tr_pto=nui @gcreptile she's a DDP pick anaw.

This all stirred up so we'll all tune in to Boris at 5 so he can get huge ratings for discussing COP failures, Sharma's fake tears and how he's going to point one way and pick your pocket while you aren't looking. Or summat.

Well, if you chuck up this Ancestry page, has her born as Pamela Mary: https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/1095/?name=_Bielski&bsk=MDsyNDA7MjA-61-&fh=20&pgoff=11 linking her quite conclusively to Terry Randall.

Possibly, must be a way of checking her birth record in Wales. With a name like Bielski, shouldn't be difficult? Edit: Hastings is in East Sussex. Ah those crazy inputs.

There's a Pamela May Collier dead in February 2015, according to this: https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Wills?surname=collier&yearOfDeath=2015&advancedSearch=False&IsGrantSearch=True#wills Brighton registry, so sounds about right. Wonder where the Collier name came from?

So, in summary, the public want to see the Queen back out, but now she's put her back out, she has had to back out?

For those who picked him here, Wilbur Smith is dead before the start.

Hugely successful Zambian born South African novelist Wilbur Smith, dead at 88: https://wilbursmithbooks.com/latest-news/legendary-novelist-wilbur-smith-passes-away-at-the-age-of-eighty-eight IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0810335/ DDP Pick.
