I caught Janette on The Real Marigold Hotel the other day. Looked awful on the show, however, that may be the heat etc etc. Avoided the enema offered to her in India. This article on the Krankies' appearance on This Morning a few days ago indicates she suffers from osteoporosis. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/3006534/the-krankies-janette-tough-enema-real-marigold-hotel/

Selleck has given his blessing to the Magnum PI reboot. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/08/05/tom-selleck-gave-his-blessing-for-magnum-p-reboot-star-says.html And Higgins is being played by a woman. 21st Century...and all we get a rehashes of stuff from way back. What next? Hart To Hart played by two lassies? With Max as a dominated houseboy in leather hotpants? Anyway, I digress...

Clip doesn't play. All I see is Coleen.

*whispers* That's Coleen Nolan.

Hmm, Robin Leach's birthday too. M Jackson, James Hunt, Richard Attenborough...it's a big day for dead birfdays. So take your pick of the next to go. Betty Lynn? Elliot Gould? Eddi Reader? Lenny Henry? Richard Gere?

Historically a slow day for deaths. 30th August - now that's when the chunky big names have gone in the past. Will 2018 be any different?

Ten years ago today, Geoffrey Perkins produced his last laugh and crashed out of life, aged 55.

Be sure your previous words shall be found....

Also, we've just missed the 76th birthday of former Tory MP John Carlisle. The man who thought apartheid worked in South Africa and is on record as describing Nelson Mandela as a terrorist. Lest we forget...
