One of Fujimori's disputed birthdays today... Remember the stir back at the end of last year? How long ago that seems....

@Paul Bearer didn't we have a rule some time back about posting links in English so we could read them? Edit: if we were so inclined...

One team says "Let's Get Loud". Bill Loud's death reported here, and the Hare hears and has heard. https://deadline.com/2018/07/william-loud-dies-father-of-one-of-first-reality-tv-families-was-97-1202434800/ First hit afaik since the last leaderboard. Friday better be busy or I'm considering skipping the one due on Saturday morn.

That's fine. Go your own way. As I said, I'm not bothered. It's nice to know your motivation. I for one would be more than happy, as you are Canadian, to get the inside draw on Canadians who I feel are under represented and have been for a long time here. We can't rely on Shatner forever you know...

You know, you are getting a lot of non-responses to your posts. Just a friendly word of advice. I was you once. I felt the Listers had to know of most deaths. Then I realised...mostly they didn't. This is a mainly UK based website, so almost anybody from the UK of note is...well...interesting. Outside of the UK, they have to be really really interesting. Like a pick for a pool. Like an entertainment star...yes, even a C-lister. Like someone previously mentioned on the site. Somebody who has done...something, anything that might garner a response. Plucking folk from the US who have essentially done their job isn't. Really. Local football coaches? Local Nigerian bishops? Telephone company executives? What's the hook that Listers may love? Others have been pointed in the past to setting up their own site for that sort of thing. You might catch the interest of a reader with something. Indeed, you could spark the interest of Listers by making a list of possibles from something. All I know is that when I took a breath, I saved my fingers and time. I don't even post in the specialist threads now unless I have a vague notion of who the person was. I'm not whining or moaning. I could care less what you post. Each to their own and all that. Maybe try and understand your readership.

1976 winter was horrific. If we are in for that..... Yeah, rain was bouncing off the ground here. Maybe because I'm higher up (nearer EK) than you, msc!

I remember 1976. I do not remember one rainy day during that summer in Glasgow. (It was ghastly, I've never liked the heat/bright sunshine). Large buckets of water to play in and always outside back then. So the rain was battering down here last week. But the BBC reports the longest dry spell since 1976. A passing mention of "except Scotland" at least would have been fine. Maybe we'll matter more to London when we are independent and have all the water they need.
