Someone kindly has a video of Patti Hammond on the You Tube:

Patti Hammond, a dancer with Legs & Co from Top Of The Pops, has died, aged 71:

Interesting that AP have decided to do a timeline on Dennis Hastert now: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-9995545/Timeline-events-Dennis-Hastert-s-life-career.html

Uncredited Passenger Roy Everson appears to have died off radar: https://www.facebook.com/groups/924369711362969/posts/1169054006894537/ A notable extra, he played a reporter in A Hard Day's Night, a shop salesman in Crooks Anonymous and a parent in Carry On Teacher. Also a stand in for David Prowse in the Star Wars thing and for Sean Connery in at least three movies. Reportedly 95.

Unless the QOs are different here, she got one if the ITV one posted doesn't count, there's always the Express: https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1490836/Covid-deaths-oldest-woman-Wales-TikTok-gran-Monmouth

I never previously found a QO, but there's one now anyway for Carolyn Shoemaker: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/carolyn-shoemaker-obituary-8dqh3kctj I'm sure Death Impends will be pleased.

All I know is he is swirling the coffee grounds of incompetence in his own mug. At least old Boris' mother will get a decent funeral, unlike the tens of thousands who didn't even see their mothers before, during, or after death.

Nothing like a resuffle of a Cabinet to get one's dander up. Liz Truss is Foreign Secretary - watch out big cheeses of the world! Nadine Dorries to Culture - should be able to bring all of her I'm A Celeb experience to the role, after all actors across the country are already eating cockroaches for supper. Gove to Housing and Communities - yeah, that will be the caring face you want while local government goes bankrupt. And in a flourish of utter irony, Raab to Justice - if he does as good a job there as with Afghanistan, the courts can creak under the weight as crime rises exponentially. Ach well, good luck E & W.

At bloody last, Fritz McIntyre gets a Times Obit: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/fritz-mcintyre-obituary-ndvj6fglx Well done The Times.

Jersey's former Planning and Environment Minister Rob Duhamel reported dead by the BBC:

Marthe Mercadier is no more: https://www-lemonde-fr.translate.goog/disparitions/article/2021/09/15/marthe-mercadier-la-reine-du-theatre-de-boulevard-est-morte_6094777_3382.html?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=nui,sc,elem IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0580143/ One for the French Speaking Deathlist I understand.

Could be a shrewd move. An early conversion! gcreptile converts his Joker. Makes a pair of Js - 10 Additional Points; also two pair of Qs and Js - 15 Additional Points - Total - 25 Points. (Edited because I'm having a bad day!). Closes the gap on the Captain, still not quite enough to take the lead.

You are right, it's Banana. I'll fix the post, the scores are correct though.

Timo Kaltio, bassist briefly with Hanoi Rocks and co-writer on Guns 'N' Roses track Right Next Door To Hell from their Use Your Illusion I album, died 2 September 2021: https://pledgetimes.com/memoir-timo-kaltio-1960-2021/

There comes a time during an entry period when a name starts cropping up on the lists of entries. Terry Lubbock, a well known campaigner for justice (as he saw it) was just this name. How ironic that Terry ends up in a pool as well. Hits for gcreptile, msc, Joey Russ, Toast (extricating herself from those without a formal hit), Perhaps, Grim Up North, Banana and Captain Chorizo. Bonuses: gcreptile plays a Black Joker - 50 Additional Points. Perhaps Banana makes a pair of Queens - 10 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

Not 37 but 54? Surely -2 doubled to -4 for uniqueness? I don't know, it's been so long since I had any points.

Robert Prizeman, composed the theme tune to Songs Of Praise, died 8 September: https://libera.org.uk/news/robert-prizeman-rip/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0698189/

Gold Medallist in the hammer throw at both the 1976 and 1980 Olympics. A world record holder. As such, he is yet another Scavenger Hunt miss.

For our US users, Melvin Dunlap, the bass player in Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, reportedly dead: https://www.soultracks.com/story-melvin-dunlap-dies He went on to slap that bass on the late Bill Withers numbers including Lean On Me.

Don Collier is apparently dead: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/don-collier-dead-high-chaparral-outlaws-westerns-1235012882/ One for the Gunsmoke thread if anyone can be arsed. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0171896/

Well, let's face it, if she'd been born in the EU, she'd have had to apply for citizenship. All these British tennis players who were born elsewhere is incredible. Wasn't there some Australian footballer who elected to play for Scotland or summat? They are only British if they are successful, everyone knows it.

Impolite to point out she is Chinese-Romanian born in Canada?

Robert Zemeckis on the couch with Phil and Holly on This Morning - this morning. Looks grand.
