Edmond H Fischer in great shape for someone who is dead: https://www.lindau-nobel.org/news-nobel-laureate-edmond-h-fischer Oldest living Laureate now is....?

Of note, she registered on Twitter briefly (assuming it is her) under Vera Anna Peters - so her death might be registered under Peters?

I'm not an editor of Wiki, wouldn't know the first thing about how to go about it! Took me three years on here to work out spoilers and how to do a link within text...hopeless, me.

Sad news if true. Her turn as President of Earth in the fake war with Draconia is outstanding. Just finished reading the Target novelisation a couple of weeks ago.

So I have reached Big Fun in my research. Wiki still doesn't have Jason Herbert dead on either his own page or on the Big Fun page. Disappointing we can't use the evidence above to get this fixed.

Grange Calveley, creator of Roobarb and Custard, Obit: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/aug/27/grange-calveley-obituary IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1923066/

Hmm, and it's back apparently. Best away and finish the 1980s off. Nobody die meantime, right?

Hmm, just tried Cliff Richard and got nothing as well. I'll try a quick clean, restart and see if that fixes it.

Daily Star gets a round of applause from me for a Bob Fish obit: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/breaking-bob-fish-dead-darts-24854460 Anyone going to cover Fritz McIntyre? Charlie Watts' death seems to have destroyed that.

Talking of which, thought I'd drop by the official charts site. Having problems accessing some historical charts. Also, for example, looked for The Beautiful South chart history - page doesn't exist. Someone au fait with Twitter/Facebook want to tell them? Or is it an issue at my end?

All things Abba related: Dead On Arrival.

Interesting, was updating my 1989 list, so got a shock when I saw the band mentioned. Obviously Birks not involved in the classic hit making machine of the period I'm interested in.

And yet Gyles Brandreth and Maureen Lipman continue to steal oxygen... Crikey, if someone had decided on a Gogglebox theme team, they'd have more hits than all my teams put together. Wake me up when September ends...

Nicola Haine (nee Cope), daughter of former Tory MP and life peer John Cope, has died aged 44: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/251685/haine John Cope is 84.

Clock starts ticking in the Poker Tourney...hopefully not another Axel Khan for you.

Dave Harper BBC Obit FWIW: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-58341308

BBC were talking about terrorist threats this morning. And so it comes to pass....

ABBA-tars - made me chuckle: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58339627 Hologram tour on way?

Dave Harper, drummer with indie rock band Frankie And The Heartstrings reported dead:

Dex Dexter and Ted Dexter within hours....ironically sinister. (Little Latin joke for those scholars among you...ego ibo meum lorica).

I'm sure it does, ha! Seems to be posts on the Book of Face giving 16th August, but personally I don't know.

Solitary report on Twitter of the purported death of Mohsin Ahamad al-Aini (needs looking into):

Sarah Broadie would have obtained a Times Obit: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sarah-broadie-obituary-tdntpj6cj Meantime, the death has been announced of Sir Eric Ash aged 93, one of those experts in Engineering, Fellow of the Royal Society, recipient of the Faraday Medal, the Royal Medal and the Marconi Prize: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/251700/sir-eric-ash

Agree wholeheartedly! For me the best years in pop still remain 1978 and 1984. What about Captain Sensible? Always appeared to me he was having a great time whilst totally dumbfounded his records were selling!
