Melvyn Hayes is 84 today!

Yeah, been through and noticed some more doublers (which means some folk who think they have uniques will be sorely disappointed) and one particular one that might need to be separated out. But there's not much and given the task, that's a tremendous job already. Grand work!

Ah, then I'm out....

Ah. I understand that to be something very specific, but I could be totally wrong....

Two OJ Brigance entries need to be merged. Unless there are two. Might be. Promise I won't do any more, I understand it's a work in progress.

Nooooooo, Roberta Flack has lost her unique status! Damn her well publicised illness early 2018! Actually thought more would pick her tbh....

Well done! *runs off to have a swatch and update my favourites*

Jennie Buckman's QO, as predicted: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2019/jan/10/jennie-buckman-obituary

Tezza is kissing Shinzo Abe's ass live on the BBC News Channel. Maybe she can ask him why Honda are ceasing all production for the month of April in the UK....(maybe because they along with Nissan are preparing to leave).

74 today!

How about here?
