Why not PM your team to a trusted forum member to be kept under wraps until the kick-off?

Just catching up with the new series of the sublime Detectorists. Episode 3 on BBC4 tonight, but first two episodes are on iplayer.

Don't you start .... But yes, he was just a pretty face really.

Not really. He was a massively popular teen idol in the UK in the early 1970s, along with Donny Osmond. The influence was still there in the 90s.

No, you're right, it's not the point of the thread, which was originally to pinpoint deaths that were overshadowed by disasters or other big news stories - not necessarily other celebrity deaths.

Did I? Boo. Never mind, there's well over a month for all the rest to oblige.

I think a few of us had him pencilled in.

I suppose there's always Robert "Percy" Plant. I have tickets to see him at the RAH in a couple of weeks so I do need him to hang on for a while.

It's per se. Latin for 'through itself', or as we would say, in or of itself.

Disappointing for you, but I'm sure there will be plenty more to satisfy those who are obsessed with paedophilia.

Horrible for you. I hate it that their lives are so short.

Manson is not particularly important to me. His death is easily eclipsed by Novotna's, especially as I didn't know she was ill.

No he deserves it. I'd miss his posts though.

Everyone did.

Inspired by the above, I'll offer Yellow Snow.

This charmer told me to fuck off the other day. No history, no context, no provocation, and worst of all no humour.

I never fancied him.

Looks like he's forgotten all about it.

Very imaginative.

One of my picks in the Scavenger Hunt pool. Too late now ...

I couldn't have put it better
