Not sure how reliable the link is, but it's being reported that Scott Putesky/Daisy Berkowitz has died: https://www.sacurrent.com/sa-sound/archives/2017/10/22/founding-marilyn-manson-band-member-has-died After checking, it seems to be true...

Depends if you count Tezza as a former PM, I mean it's only been a couple of hours since it was last confirmed she was still in post...

Don't stress CL, plenty of obits when I posted so didn't feel the need... Everyone's allowed their input...

Death notice for Valerie Stanton-Lewis, aged 73, from sepsis. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?n=valerie-stanton-lewis&pid=186992202 She was in The Space Pirates and Priest Of Death for Doctor Who. Other relevant appearances for this thread include Adam Adamant Lives! and The Avengers. Probably better known for her appearances in Up Pompeii and with Benny Hill. IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0822819/

People, especially bloody advertisers, who describe any compensatable claim as an "accident". I remember when the common usage of the word "accident" meant something which happened which was nobody's fault. I blame obviously the use of anything to describe a road traffic incident as an "accident" - not my fault guv, it was the car to blame... "Had an accident that wasn't your fault?" is simply a repetition of "accident"...aarghhh.... Now if you trip over the cat, you may be able to sue the pet shop that sold it to you, according to the spivs on the telly... (*Note: I don't watch a lot of telly with adverts, but there seem to be a helluva lot of them...)

I'll tag you in on the next leaderboard, Deathers, due Saturday. Get your corpses in before then, playas...

Not any more....

As I have never ever got this right, dives in front of goal with Nobby.

Any mention of Sawchuk in the obituaries? I had a feeling something might happen while I was away playing golf... On the Xbox of course....
