21 hours ago, The Daredevil said:I’d say Randolph Scott for 1987. Also, I think Ernest Borgnine was the biggest 2012 miss by far.
I'd have said either Rita Haworth or Liberace.
I was going to say Dennis Potter for 1994 but it seems he didn't reveal his illness until February that year. He died in June that year, just 9 days after his wife.

I dreamt that Amanda Barrie died, not that weird, however her death was announced by a back from the dead Wendy Richard on Loose Women.

An old school friend of mine knows about this website and he knows I know about it, but not sure if he knows I post on it (we don't talk anymore). My mum occasionally comes out with things which makes me wonder if she knows but I have never dared ask her.

14 hours ago, Book said:Too bad
I kinda liked her and loved her role as Peg Gallagher in Shameless. I would have liked to have seen her there longer, but she was smothered by Sheila.
She will always be Agnes Carpenter to me.

On 02/03/2022 at 20:41, Handrejka said:A bit of both. I know some overlap is bound to happen on a small island without a huge amount of shops and that's fine. One example is that she never used to wear red, it's a colour I wear quite a lot and now when we meet up she is almost always in red. She even bought us matching sunglasses, gave me a blue pair (a colour I do not wear and she does) and kept the red pair for herself.
Today she gave me a headband, added that she bought one for herself as well and we should wear them together when we next to out.
I know it's not that big a deal, but something similar happened to me at university and that ended up escalating to other stuff so I am on my guard a bit.
She has now bought us matching ponchos!

Same for me. I might read the sequal one day, but not too bothered if I don 't.
I am currently reading The Island of Extraordinary Captives by Simon Parkin about The Hutchinson Square Internment Camp.
I live quite literally found the corner from there so it's about time I read up on the history of somewhere which is almost on my doorstep.

Oh I would have loved those. One of my biggest readers is never seeing them live.

Last night I dreamt that I was at a party and someone stole my walking stick. I don't actually use a walking stick in real life but when I woke up I was briefly confused as to whether I use one or not.

17 hours ago, Gooseberry Crumble said:American actor Brad Davis died on this day in 1991 aged just 41.
His first big break in acting was in an NBC television network soap opera called How to survive a marriage (1974) but he Spon progressed to film within less than two years.
Undoubtedly his biggest hit was Midnight Express (1978) . A prison drama directed by Alan Parker in which he played the lead role of Billy Hayes.Bo Hopkins, Randy Quaid and John Hurt were part of the cast too.
Davis won a Golden Globe award for new star of the year for his performance and received two BAFTA nominations for most promising newcomer and Beat actor in a leading role.
Roles in Chariots of fire(1981), A small circle of friends (1980), Cold Steel (1987) alongside a then largely unknown Sharon Stone and the lead role in Larry Kramers pretty much autobiographical play The Normal heart.
He married casting director Susan Bluestein in 1976 and they had one child together.
Brad who was bisexual , was diagnosed with HIV in 1985 but largely due to the hysteria especially in the showbiz industry in Hollywood kept his diagnosis private until shortly before his death. His wife Susan revealed six years after his death that he committed suicide by drugs overdose.
brad was gorgeous in his prime.

1 hour ago, DevonDeathTrip said:I was wondering if there is a list anywhere of living people who have had a death sentence commuted in the UK?
I was reading about Liam Holden, still only 68, who was sentenced to death in 1973 (Northern Ireland abolished the death penalty shortly afterwards).
Jersey and the Isle of Man were still giving out death sentences in the 1980s and there must be a few survivors of the 'pause' on executions in the 1960s from the UK mainland, but a definitive list isn't readily available so far as I can see, let alone who might still be alive.
Tony Teare was the last person on Isle of Man to be given the death sentence and that was in 1992. He would only be in his 50s now so possibly still alive.
Other people given death sentence on IOM since it was abolished in UK are
James Lunney in 1973 aged 21
Graham Frankland in 1980 aged 27/28
Michael Pate in 1981 aged 21
Stephen Moore in 1982 aged 18
I think that's it. All of them could potentially still be living.
