Five, Six, Seven, Eight! Proponents of Dance as suggested by Sir C need their own thread, whether that be on land, sea or ice. So let's move off with Sally Gross, proponent of minimalist dance who was the subject of the late Albert Maysles documentary The Pleasure Of Stillness, who has died at 81 from ovarian cancer. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/26/arts/dance/sally-gross-choreographer-of-minimalist-dances-dies-at-81.html?_r=0 Anyone think of other candidates for The Grand Ball On The Other Side?

Two Thatcherite parties slugging it out. Battle lines drawn, I guess probably for the Englandshire local elections. Real news will be any leaks from the 1922 Committee later.

Billy Kellock, Scottish footballer who played for many teams over his career and for Scottish Schoolboys, reportedly dead: He had previously Stage 4 throat cancer and a GoFundMe was opened for him a couple of years ago. Despite all that, unnoticed here and on the DDP. Awaiting the usual.

Perennial DDP pick Johnny Whitaker discusses his previous addiction issues: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13214943/johnny-whitaker-former-child-star-family-affair-addiction.html Sounds like he's turned his life around. (But then, we said that about Matthew Perry).

British propmaker and designer Bill Hargreaves, who started on The Empire Strikes Back and never looked back, reportedly dead: https://www.fanthatracks.com/news/film-music-tv/rest-in-peace-bill-hargreaves/?feed_id=20234 Various other films and TV work.

Rose Dugdale QO: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2024/03/18/rose-dugdale-debutante-turned-ira-bombmaker-obituary/

Still. The problem the Tories always have is they put party first. What about the country?

Andrae Crouch's twin sister Sandra Crouch, who co-wrote Jesus Is The Answer for Andrae Crouch And The Disciples and played tambourine on many Motown hits including I Want You Back and ABC for the Jackson 5, reportedly dead:

Rose Dugdale also a DDP pick.

Rose Dugdale reportedly dead:

You've got those who pop in and out of hospital for chemo, radiotherapy, kidney dialysis and other treatments. Tricky.

Robin Hobbs, seven Tests for England and who played for Essex and Glamorgan, reportedly dead:

This is all very confusing regarding Marwan Issa. All I see is "local media" and "Hamas has stated behind closed doors" that Issa is dead, all being reported by the Israeli media. Israeli media that would hardly be impartial in the current conflict. So I am not sure Hamas has actually admitted anything, unless I am missing something. There is no QO at present, nothing from Western sources who are reporting this, despite this breaking hours ago. Hmm.

Folk have got the wrong end of the stick with this thread imo. This thread is for Israelis, generally government or other officials. Discussion of Hamas or Hezbollah are for other threads. This is not the place for targets of Israel. Check the OP ffs.
