    Not Really Famous, But What A Moniker!

    Yes. Yes I do. I thought that would appeal to ... well, almost everyone on here. I have that name tattooed on my bum. Saved some money on the "O" in "Lovett"...

    Betty Driver Memorial Soapstar Superstar Thread

    Saw something hours ago on Twitter, but couldn't find any corroboration. When acting was a profession, back in't day. Probably my favourite soap character ever. Gawd rest her soul, and like them ducks on't Muriel, fly high Jean.

    Great Gigs In The Sky

    Interesting story on why Craig Logan will not be rejoining Bros on their reunion: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37642088 He owes them nothing in my opinion...

    Life In Prison

    Just came across Bonnie Brito's name in the DDP, a Ponzi schemer who was released from prison in late 2014 due to cancer. I also came across this obituary from 2014. http://hosting-24243.tributes.com/obituary/show/Bonnie-Brito-101993492 The age and location fits the story - maybe it's her, there's really no news after this date about her. Unless you know different...

    Bhumibol Adulyadej

    I'll Thai this to the news of Bob Dylan today for my pun. "A Hard Reign's Gonna Fall".

    Bhumibol Adulyadej

    I'm a bit worried about the thread starter actually. He never did post again after that day... It was the shame of mis-spelling "eternity" that did it.

    Inverse Dead Pool 2K12

    King Of Thailand not one of mine I'm glad to say. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/13/thai-king-bhumibol-adulyadej-dies-after-70-year-reign I didn't pick him cos I couldn't be bothered spelling him tbh.

    The Committee obviously didn't see my poems in Crap Poetry Corner. Passed over again, sigh...

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Dead ends everywhere I've looked for Nathalie/Jacqueline. Maybe she remarried? You'd have thought there was something from the diehard Hulot fans, but they seem at a loss too.
  15. Any dirt on Martin van Buren or William Henry Harrison?

    Killer Clowns

    Never be afraid of an entertainer. Unless they appeared on the radio or television in the 1970s.

    Mollie Sugden et al

    Just got round to watching the remake of Steptoe And Son. It's a tour de force. Two hander excellently played by the leads.

    Strictly Come Dancing

    Will Young leaves the show this year for personal reasons. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37622797 No indication of his health, but if it's as poor as his dancing, he's a possible for next year. (I'm such a bitch, dahling!)
