Duke of Edinburgh has had to pull out of tomorrows Battle of Jutland commemeration for unspecified medical problems. He wouldnt pull out for something minor though. Could be quite significant... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/30/duke-of-edinburgh-will-not-attend-battle-of-jutland-commemoratio/

The actor Irving Benson ,one of the last survivors of vaudeville, has died at 102 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/irving-benson-dead-vaudeville-survivor-897441

She was also the Granny in Anerican Pie. I think it was American Wedding. who can forget that scene between her and Stiffler !

I have the same theory about the Scotland football team. They haven't qualified for a major tournament since the Scottish parliament was created in 1999.Coincidence or curse? Or just shitty players and managers ? You can't make sugar out of shite. I blame the top clubs for buying in foreign players instead of seeking out home grown talent. I agree, that is a major cause of the problem.They seem to be doing better these days though.I have high hopes for the next world cup ! Probably should get back to talking about Zsa Zsa Gabor though...

Don't know if anyone else has reported this but the actor Buck Kartalian who played the part of Julius in the original Planet of the Apes film has died at 93 http://variety.com/2016/film/news/buck-kartalian-planet-of-the-apes-dies-at-93-cool-hand-luke-1201782184/

he was the oldest living cardinal and only centenarian one but incredibly there are no fewer than 6 Roman Catholic bishops aged 100 or over , the oldest being Peter Leo Gerety who's nearly 104. here's a list of them here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_Catholic_bishops

that's weird because I just watched him in Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde the other day and wondered if he was still alive

bit ironic that Tony Blackburn was fired for allegations he abused a teenage girl and he's replaced by Paul Gambaccini of all people !

Hello. This is my very first post so I hope I'm the first to report this death, but I just found out the actor Paul McDowell has died aged 84. Some of you might remember him for playing the part of Mr Collinson in the tv series Porridge, which I loved ! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2016/05/20/paul-mcdowell-musician-and-actor--obituary/ edit- just found out it was reported previously somewhere else. just published the obit today though
