Very best of luck with this @Spade_Cooley. My entry should be with you in less than a couple of weeks.

Remember this post? Worth a scan for your 2019 lists if you want to go back and see the whole thing. Anyway, forget Gerald Knox, 7th Earl of Ranfurly. He's dead: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/229355/knox

Death Notice for Lady Henrietta Bennett (nee Crane), widow of the late Tory MP Sir Reginald Bennett who died way back in 2000: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/229348/lady-bennett

Only when the taste of David Lidington's cock is still fresh in the mouth.....

I'll respond a little later in the month. For some reason, I have 9, 24 and 27 December ringing in my head. Might be advent madness, mind....

I think we had The Few, the Germans had the Fuhrer.

Here's my post from earlier this year: Looks like I missed Hemingway and McInnes.

Wendy Padbury is 71 today!

Ah, "Listen To Lewd" the little known Donna Summer followup to "Dinner With Gershwin".

FTFY. Probably the only listenable to band during the punk era.

Ok, with Spade's announcement that the DDP is about to open, I thought I'd better get my butt in gear (not the assless underwear type of gear, I'm beyond that) and have a look at my lists. 12 Lords A-Leaving: I'm taking the view that if you can't beat them, at least have a go at beating them. So I have a team, 20 names easy. And yes, there will be a FFBI type or two on there. Gawd forgive me. Comedy Cremations: Fairly steady scoring for the last couple of years. This is not going to be straightforward, so I'm leaving this until last. Hits of 36 Years Ago: Just started this. I thought I was struggling but just started on this today and I have 7 locks on a quick scan of the list. Now I just have to go through around 300 names to get another 13.

Nicholas Soames, speaking in support of Tezza's "deal", signals the end of his "political life". So, Nick, not taking a peerage if it's offered? Aye, right.

I may have used this one before.... No suggestion he topped himself? (Yeah, it's a cheesy one, not one of my supreme efforts).

74 today!

Cool! I remain baffled by your potential picks. Which is the idea!

Was Number 25 or Number 27 Chris Bradley? Just trying to guess....

Just saw the news and hastened over to offer my congratulations. Lucky, lucky, barsteward!! Anyway, I was playing the long game....which is foolish.

Frankie Muniz is 33 today!

Little Richard is 86 today! Shame he's no longer Tutti Fruity....

Twitter going crazy. Dynamite Kid reportedly died this morning. Link if I can find a reliable one. Hmm, it's his birthday today - maybe it's one of those hoaxes?

Sounds dead to me: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-jael-strauss-dead-americas-13688114

Aha, you noticed! I deliberately excluded the offending term, ha!

Remembered when bikes were bikes:

Charlie Lawson reports that Pete Armitage, who played Bill Webster on Coronation Street, has died: Had cancer in the past. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0035513/
