Blue Mink. There's a lovely full interview with Ann Odell here from July 1973: https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/70s/73/Record-Mirror-1973-07-21-S-OCR.pdf Now that interview says she was 25 so that puts her dob firmly in the 1947/48 bracket. From other information gleaned it appears her father was Jack (John William) Odell. There's some biographical information on him here: http://www.matchboxhistory.com/jack-odell-biography-p1.php

I'm still dubious about whether such people should be in here. They are people rewarded or elevated by political patronage, not politicians. Two words - Floella Benjamin.

One of those DDP picks we need a QO for.

My goodness it's all a bit confusing because the Wiki name and generally used name has been extended in the DDP - I guess with the family name. Definitely need more Latin Americans on the Forum to help with these!

Irene Triplett is, how you say, no longer drawing that pension...or breath. By which I mean she's dead: https://www.wsj.com/articles/last-person-to-receive-a-civil-war-era-pension-dies-11591141193

Death Notice for Sir William Pigott-Brown, 3rd Baronet: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/242202/pigott-brown-sir-william-bt Wiki (mention): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigott-Brown_baronets He succeeded to the baronetcy within his first two years of life and held it since 1942. According to various articles, he seems to have enjoyed gambling and the ladies and there's some indication he was a jockey at some point.There appears to be no heir to the baronetcy.

Why are people obsessed with Les Dennis? Seriously though, that documentary on Les Dawson is 4 years old now - clue was Roy Barraclough was in it and he's been dead 3 years. And he looked one of the healthy ones. Michael Aspel looked thrawn and my pick for this year Stanley Appel was old then.

Ok so we are underway, having welcomed the first 2 guests to the game. I have PM'ed my team to Yorkshire Banker for safekeeping as his was the first team in with all 25 and 5 subs positions filled (come on markb4, one more sub please!). Remember, still the whole month of June to get those teams in! Game doesn't open until 1 July. Feel free as you arrive to take some dips and chips from the bar!

Obit for Christopher Brocklebank-Fowler, former Tory MP for Norfolk North West who defected to the SDP: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2020/06/02/christopher-brocklebank-fowler-conservative-mp-crossed-floor/

Cracking stuff, ha! I'm not bothered whether the points are awarded, I just like to see what we do in this situation. Amazing it's not come up before. I suggest we place An Fear Beag on Press Reader watch and let him go through the List of the Lost! Tun Tin, anyone?

Just to play devil's advocate.... Pressreader.com isn't on the list of approved QO sites. Not that it will matter, but it's a report of a report, rather than a report. How the **** do I put that up on the Round Up? Anyhoo, it's an interesting one.

Majek Fashek dead now? https://allafrica.com/stories/202006020484.html

Thanks! Queries issued on both your teams (always happens, every year!) so once these are resolved, we'll be under way.

No, uniques aren't that special here as points are gained on when your pick dies. The only benefit is that your competitors aren't gaining points also. As for finding out about his death - usual sheer luck!

The contempt Anderson Cooper is currently showing for Trump on CNN is hilarious.

You asked for it Toast! Here's Mary Morris being a cunt with chutney, alongside Ann Ladbury: There's plenty more backhanded slights on the YT if you need more bitchiness.

Barry Cryer still enjoying a ciggie. Quite right Bazza, stairs and smoking not killed him yet!

Ann Ladbury, 60s dressmaking presenter who went on to co-present Southern TV's Houseparty, died last month aged 88: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/people/obituary-ann-ladbury-dressmaker-2851498 I only say because she's now got a Times Obit: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ann-ladbury-obituary-x8bpdwph2 and that some on here might remember her. Here's a clip (one of several online) from BBC's Weekend Wardrobe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03ty618 I'm not uploading any Houseparty clips which are on YouTube, because the ladies involved are all so bitchy and catty with each other.

Hope it isn't Infected.
