Just thought I'd quietly celebrate Lupita Tovar's 105th. Whoo! Dang, I posted in Silent Era because she was mentioned there. Apologies for thread choice.

Fine DDP material, then. That Uzzaman, I mean. From the report you linked to I glean a horrible attrition rate. regards, Hein Indeed! He'll probably get an obituary as well, if nr.4 gets one here as well... Assad Uzzaman's death appears to have been confirmed. Sadly, not much in the way of detail here, for example we don't know if he died in 2015, so might not get the DDP points, but I'll leave it to TMIB. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/11763428/Last-of-the-Portsmouth-jihadists-killed-in-Syria.html

Apologies Sir C, if it helps the obit was over 13 hours old by the time I posted it and I was completely unavailable yesterday. Here's a choon as way of offering: https://youtu.be/aenJ5V43Xvk

That choon was brilliant. However, sharing a house with my god-fearing, at the Church 6 days a week, father, here's a heads up. Anyone in the same position WILL get a row if it's too loud.

I believe a very wise and astute member going by YoungWillz once said, in reference to a person who can be placed in numerous categories, "their nationality should be a last resort." Planes Trains Automobiles was a natural landing place for Overdijk, who has cashed in his chips. SC Could have been Pilots, he was driving. On balance and I did think about this, I prefer here. Do not mistake me for an imbecile who says one thing and does another. Last resort for me.

So why are you saying it's creepy? I'm saying how it would look to today's viewers. Middle aged married cop makes suggestive statement to possible witness/suspect during his line of work - could you get away with writing that sort of stuff today without it leading to some sort of disgrace/shame/witchunt/newspaper outrage, given the apparent age of the girl? I think not.

If that's directed at Angelillo: Predictor starts thread re Scrooge McDuck and Duck Tales voice actor. Angelillo, Italian voice actor for Scrooge McDuck and Duck Tales dies 2 days later. Coincidence highlighted. For future reference, I'll not be explaining my choice of thread.

Mitch Aliotta of Rotary Connection (which included a pre-fame Minnie Riperton), and Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah, 70. http://www.oldiesmusic.com/news.htm Here's the quote for posterity: "According to his daughter, Mitch Aliotta-- bassist with Rotary Connection and Aliota, Haynes & Jeremiah-- died Tuesday (July 21) at the age of 70. Though Rotary Connection only charted with "Want You To Know" (#96) in 1970, they are remembered for launching Minnie Riperton's career. And Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah are still remembered for their non-charting classic tune "Lake Shore Drive." The group appeared in the made-for-TV movie "Sparrow". John Jeremiah died in 2011."

I absolutely agree Toast, at the time it would just have been seen as a compliment cleverly worked way back in 1977.
