    Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets

    A big win for the Belgian police, that: they found the right address. Another shoot out - suspicion that Salah Abdeslam targeted. If he's killed, interesting test for DDP - will need a confirmation from Daesh/ISIL/ISIS etc etc. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35846954 Edit: BBC reporting he may have been caught alive...

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    Thought there was already a ruling on Delpech - we await a further source, plenty of year to go. I did notice that when I disclosed a death notice in the Telegraph for Tom Pugh, it wasn't automatically accepted by TMIB - indeed, The Times came to the rescue in the next couple of days. I'm not sure death notices are automatically being accepted either.

    His final disappearing act. Do you think he went into a cabinet and just never came out?

    Betty Driver Memorial Soapstar Superstar Thread

    Death Notice for James Douglas, reportedly dead at 86 on 5 March 2016 (which means wiki is wrong by three or four years): http://www.rep-am.com/Obituaries/944900.txt He played Steven Cord in over 400 episodes of Peyton Place and was Grant Colman in As The World Turns. Over here in the UK, we probably know him for his role as Rick in G.I. Blues. Edit: Found this which gives his dob as 20 May 1929: http://www.berginfuneralhome.com/obituaries/James-Douglas-8/

    Political Frailty

    Asa Briggs death reduces the no to 11 still alive http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-35813749 YoungWillz be on top of this for his Lords & Ladies team. SC Cheers for the thought, but my Lords and Ladies team is not a theme team, just 12 men and 8 women...the name is a play on the 12 Days Of Christmas, that's all (even though there actually are a couple of peers on there)!

    Gerry And Sylvia Anderson

    Cliff Michelmore

    We should all live so long and have such an interesting life. Don't think I picked him for anything, simply because he was already an institution when I was born. Respect to you sir, rest well.
