Mocha Lattes being served in heaven (before they get to you they will be drunk by our servers Joey and Rachel). James Michael Tyler, known worldwide as Gunther from Friends, has shut up shop. A hit for Death Impends, Salmon Mousse, An Fear Beag and Captain Chorizo. Bonuses: Death Impends plays a Red Joker - 50 Additional Points. Captain Chorizo: Pair of Queens - 10 Points; Two Pair of Queens and 9s - 15 Points - Total: 25 Additional Points. Tyler also a sub for gcreptile, who draws 5 Diamonds (again!) for 5 Points added. Those 5 points are crucial, as they now represent the difference between first and second, as gcreptile clings to a now slender lead. Leaderboard updated and will be brought forward on the next hit.

So much for my early night. I have a shower to get, then I'll update.

Well, if his manager says it... One of those times you hate to be right. Sweet rest Gunther, and may many Rachels fly you to your rest.

I mean, it's all very odd. Everything looks right yet nobody is breaking it. A hack on the rarely used account? Acht, we'll see in due course.

I'm guessing this is probably fake news, given not widely reported: James Michael Tyler is either very much alive or not. I'd have thought the real Mr Bright would have more followers...

US TV, but for here anyway. Being reported that Joanna Cameron (sometimes JoAnna Cameron), actress who played the title role in the children's series Isis, later The Secrets Of Isis (with hindsight unfortunately named, ha!): IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0131622/ Was in the Columbo where the still living Dick Van Dyke did it, in which she plays the assistant to the foolish photographer.

But is she losing her mind?

Pete Burns answered the question Dead Or Alive, 5 years ago today.

Vyacheslav Vedenin, cross-country skier who represented the Soviet Union at the 1968 and 1972 Winter Games, at the latter being flag bearer and winning golds in the 30km and the 4x10km relay, dead aged 80: https://www-sportsdaily-ru.translate.goog/news/skonchalsya-dvukratnyy-olimpiyskiy-chempion-vyacheslav-vedenin?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=nui,sc Order of Lenin? Didn't mind if he did.

Documentary filmmaker George Butler, probably best known for Pumping Iron starring a young Arnie, being reported dead at 78: https://generationiron.com/george-butler-dead/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1000159/

Conjugal visit to Philip's cold dead exhumed corpse? (There goes the knighthood....).

Well, @time gets all the points for this one.

Report of the death of (big one) Bernard Haitink: https://www.askonasholt.com/bernard-haitink-1929-2021-announcement/ DDP Pick. (Obvs).

I'm going to add that someone on the DDP picked Robin McNamara. (I'll await news that his death was a hoax by said team...) It does seem fairly reliable though, which is why I posted it. QO chances? Hmmm....for someone who never had a hit in the UK?

Robin McNamara, a US one hit wonder with Lay A Little Lovin' On Me, reportedly dead aged 74:

Of all the musicals, and I mean all including Carousel and Pal Joey, The Sound Of Music is probably my most despised. It's long, it's saccharine, and all those reprises....yuk. Lay oh yodel lay do. Or summat.

That is really going to annoy AP who reported Rosemarie as still alive: https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-europe-arts-and-entertainment-movies-vermont-e01e2f14b1afedb844e4ca8b6f91bb79 They make reference to an obituary, which maybe someone can trace.

Lorli Von Trapp reportedly dead: https://keyt.com/news/national-world/ap-national-news/2021/10/21/lorli-von-trapp-campbell-of-sound-of-music-family-dies/

It has taken months but Jeannette Altwegg finally gets a QO: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/oct/21/jeannette-altwegg-obituary

One way to make sure you are not in the dance off is to test positive for COVID. Judi Love out of this week's show.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I just don't understand it. Why not at least leave the inheritance tax limit to your child(ren)? In Scotland, you can't disinherit your kids outright. As I say, I think all you do is make a lot of other families and their kids richer. But it's their money, they can do what they like.

Doreen Lofthouse disinherits her son: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10113989/Doreen-Lofthouse-mastermind-Fishermans-Friends-lozenges-leaves-41m-fortune-will.html Now he is running the Fisherman's Friend brand, so I guess he is all right. This is an interesting ploy by people which I will never understand, Daniel Craig also announcing his kids will get nothing when he goes. Of course, all these people are doing in the main is enriching the lives of strangers rather than their families. I guess if there is no incentive to care for your folks in their old age rather than just love (a commodity least valued in this society), they can let their money get them out of bed in the middle of the night, pick them up off the floor when they fall, yadayada. So lots of people working for charities will now be able not only to do a lot of good, but also live in a big house themselves, with a lovely increase in salary, etc etc.

55 years since the Aberfan Disaster. Lest we forget.

Probably should mention she was the daughter and last surviving child of fascist supporting Patrick Boyle, 8th Earl of Glasgow. A particularly nasty piece of work.
