The above from the Death Anniversary thread, Elisabeth Scholl (Hartnagel) has died: https://www.thearticle.com/sophie-and-hans-scholl-died-resisting-the-nazis-lets-not-take-freedom-for-granted Got a Times Obit too: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/elisabeth-scholl-obituary-3t8vh0d6m (Paywall).

Blibberwimble Johnson was on with his two trusty sidekicks this morning. Yeah, reassuring the country that the Government totally well prepared for an outbreak. Blibberwimble - same guy who left people on the Diamond Princess closed community resulting in a death? Same guy who has left that dame languishing in an Iranian jail? Wouldn't trust him as far as he could throw himself at the nearest mistress.

Shirley Cooklin is 90 today! (I'm just going to assume she's still alive).

But positive about the future!

Possibly the best thing about this Who has ended. Bradley Walsh reportedly leaves: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8067741/Doctor-star-Bradley-Walsh-QUITS-role-BBC-sci-fi-two-series.html Toison Cole gone too. Show's on self destruct....

CNN reporting that Mayor Pete and Beto O'Rourke have joined Klobuchar in endorsing Biden.

Death Notice for former professional cyclist Ron Webb, who turned to designing cycle tracks, most famously designing the cycle tracks used in the Sydney, Athens and London 2012 Olympic Games: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/239883/webb Wiki (mention): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Valley_VeloPark#Velodrome

I see Simon Posthuma, one half of Dutch design collective The Fool has died: https://www.parool.nl/kunst-media/ontwerper-simon-posthuma-81-overleden-rust-zacht-lieve-papa~b1929f94/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4505509/ Again, unable to translate the news link for some reason. They designed clothes worn by The Beatles in Magical Mystery Tour and the All You Need Is Love broadcast and also famously the mural that decorated the Apple Boutique in Baker Street.

Next Season: Yazz And The Plastic And Steel Population.

Just saw it, thought it was never coming. Update updated!

Note that Jean Daniel and Freeman Dyson both now have obits.

Caandour.

Well, seeing as it's Y-Dub vs Dub-F this round, here's my entrance music:

Back to Bobby Angelo and The Tuxedos. A bit of digging seems to indicate Pete Cresswell was aged 16 when he definitely played lead guitar on Baby Sittin'. Rumour is it is most likely Mick Avory on drums on the single, but nothing definite. Wiki for legacy band The End: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_(UK_band) Roger Groom(e) aka Don Groom(e) was briefly in The Nashville Teens at least twice.

Ceri Morgan was always there or thereabouts, part of the great Welsh contingent of that era. Sad if he has gone that relatively young. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5117650/

I'll chip in if I can, got a lot of crap swimming around on lists and in my head, in my head, zombie, zombie.....eh eh eh eh.

Dutch musician Bob Fosko reportedly dead. Unfortunately, I can't get the link to translate to English. https://www.volkskrant.nl/cultuur-media/acteur-muzikant-bob-fosko-op-64-jarige-leeftijd-overleden~b413db58/

As it will be another 4 years before we can do this properly, Adolf Hitler Albert Welling is 68 today!

Still got to say, poor old Dennis Chinnery went rather overlooked in 2012 too...

Possibly borderline for this topic but....Paul Raymond's granddaughters intend to re-open Madame Jojo's in Soho: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8059225/Porn-baron-Paul-Raymonds-granddaughters-lead-plan-reopen-West-End-cabaret-club-Madame-Jojos.html Speaking as someone who attended in the 1980s, it looked a tired throwback to earlier times. Don't get me wrong, it was a marvellous show, but little to no celebration of sexuality. Gawd alone knows how they are going to make it work these days. Anyway, the residents are up in arms about the proposal. Not really sure why.

Linda Robson has spoken out about her "battle with anxiety" and her alcohol self-medication: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8058339/Linda-Robson-rushed-rehab-Stacey-Solomon-suffering-breakdown-Ibiza.html

World's oldest man Bob Weighton gives cheek to Queen Elizabeth II: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8058353/Worlds-new-oldest-man-111-retired-55-years-ago-cheeky-message-Majesty.html Might be a new oldest man by the end of the week when Her Maj sends the boys round!

Today and for the next few days we keep an eye out for that elusive butterfly. A DDP hit on 29 February. Let's hope another 4 years doesn't have to pass.
