When it comes to the Wimbling Womble, I'm never fair. Playing at builders...

Liz Clarke-Saul is dead with no QO also.

Jacques-Louis Monod est mort. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/02/arts/music/jacques-louis-monod-dead.html

I see the BBC finally spotted that I Am Woman, which was on every UK banner headline about her death, never made the UK charts. So, in a moment of oblique apology, they've given us a list of famous songs which sold in the UK (if at all) in pitiful numbers: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54390878

Every time I see this idiot being interviewed away from Parliament, he's on a construction site in Hi-Viz and a safety helmet. And, without exception, there is never anybody working. Tit.

Let's go out to the ball game! Only kidding, stay in your seats players, Bob Gibson has succumbed to cancer aged 84, so age and disease really pitched him a curve ball! Hits for Joey Russ, msc, Death Impends, Perhaps and An Fear Beag. Bonuses: Death Impends hits a Q and makes a Straight with A, K, Q, J and 10 Spades - 30 Points and another with A, K, Q, J and 10 Diamonds - 30 Points - Total - 60 Additional Points. Perhaps makes a Pair of 7s - 10 Points and also Two Pair of 7s and 10s - 15 Points - Total - 25 Additional Points. An Fear Beag makes a Pair of 7s - 10 Additional Points. Joey was leader and had a hit with Gibson, putting him on 1066 and all that. However, his Hastings score actually moves him into second, with former 2 time champ Death Impends taking the top spot for now with all those bonuses. msc moves into the third place spot. Leaderboard updated.

Anyone have Frank Windsor? https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-frank-windsor-dead-z-22782870

BBC have just reported Frank Windsor's death. RIP.

Should have placed an order with these.

My MP. Just re-elected after a couple of years when Labour got in briefly. Very helpful in responding to some questions on OldWillz estate and the impact of the COVID. And yet, she must go. Complete disregard for the rules designed to protect her and others from the spread of the virus. Maggie Maggie Maggie, out! out! OUT! Contrast between this and Dominic Cummings could not be more stark. Blibberwimble and Cummings got each other's backs, no problem, what's the fuss? Whereas Sturgeon's been quick to see the sacrifice of Ferrier in a swing seat. Once again, leadership will out.

Peppers. Seems to be 5 of them on the album? I'm off to bed, I'll see if there's anything I can help with tomorrow.

Pope Benny please! (Darn you Quim!)

Report here of the death of Tony Baylis of The Wurzels, during their most successful chart period in the 1970s: Gawd bless 'im for Cider Drinker and Combine Harvester! RIP.

We might have missed this but Jackie Dennis, Scotland's "first pop star" who reached #4 in the UK Charts in April 1958 with La Dee Dah, dead at 77: https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/heritage-and-retro/retro/scotlands-first-pop-star-leith-born-jackie-dennis-dies-aged-77-2986316 He got a Times Obit: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/jackie-dennis-obituary-f2qdq087p (Paywall)

Kellee Patterson. Found this which was a tag to a picture of Patricia Patterson (parents Archie and Helen) receiving the key to the city upon winning Miss Indiana: Says she is 21 in 1971, so she's born either 1949 or 1950. Sorry it's upside down.

Reports on Twitternews that Steve Phillips, guitarist with The Rainmakers, has died of COVID: As far as singles go, a UK one-hit wonder with Let My People Go Go which reached #18 in April 1987.

Your manager was up all night watching Trump/Biden. Fortunately, my ears have stopped ringing and I've managed to uncurl myself from the ball I enfolded myself into! So here is the Card Roulette Draw for September, and an updated leaderboard will follow shortly.

Report that Mac Davis is dead: Another one for @Ulitzer95 on the Singles Thread if true.
