BBC reporting commuter train crash in New Jersey. Critically injured. Horrific.

Whatever happened to Peter Skellern? In the 70s and 80s you could not move for his appearances. Never been mentioned here by the looks of it. Hopefully he is doing well.

Ringo Starr? I'll never pick Ringo - my heart melts in that scene in A Hard Day's Night when he's wandering about on his own. Someone Beatles related, guaranteed obit but trying for a unique.

30 years ago time ran out for Shada's Professor Chronotis actor Denis Carey, aged 77. He was also The Keeper Of Traken - nice throne as I recall.

Grrr. I decided to have one Beatles related person on my main DDP team (this year it's Maureen Cleave) and Benson was my "secret" pick for next year. Ho hum, find another one.

Is Arnold Palmer bigger than Peres? Cause we already had two big names die in the same week. Might be similar to that Bowie/Rickman/Angelil/Frey combo, except less focused on entertainment they say everything comes in threes..Palmer on Monday, Peres on Wednesday ,.. who goes on friday ?!

I treat Twitter the same way I treat gossip. The more distant the source from the subject, the less I rely on it. If it's a relative or a well known UK news source, or something like that the more likely I am to report it here, and even then I tend to use the word "reportedly" until confirmed.

Nearly there... Few sources reporting it. Just a wee few moments more...
