That’s my number. Stop the count!!

Ed Updegraff dead at 100.

Family Guy is dire. Probably one of the least funny things I’ve been forced to watch over the years. I very much rate South Park, and The Simpsons was good from 1989 until around the early to mid-2000s.

TQR has been on the mulled wine!

Nice of them to get so many visitors whilst COVID is spreading like wildfire.

I regret taking 14. I think there could be in excess of 20 at this rate.

Actually, he counts. If you look at my initial post of tallies, one of them was from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Albert J. McNeil (wiki), American choral conductor and founder of the Albert McNeil Jubilee Singers, dead at 102.

Updated. Just under 50% died (46 in total, though 3 were already dead, and 2 more are likely already deceased).

Oldest Irish person Bridget McMorrow (who lived in Shepherd's Bush in London from her teens), dead at 109.

Mark Labbett aka The Beast from The Chase has lost a remarkable amount of weight over a short period of time. Could he be ill?

The Queen's favourite racehorse, Royal Applause (wiki), dead at 29.

#10 Zhang Jinzhe dead at 102.

You can give your keyboard warriorism a rest for a single day. I’m not defending the Tories here, nor am I interested in having a debate about them. I’m critiquing the dire state of the Christmas charts.

You’ve got to be a total saddo to buy this and to make your Christmas time about hating people. Still, I suppose it’s infinitely better than LadBaby.

I think he should be dropped. Firstly, so Lafaucheuse can go on one of his French nationalistic rants about French people and how big they are in France, and asking where all the French entries are. Secondly, because I think he's a weak candidate. For me, he fails every single criteria for including a nonagenarian on DL: Sounding frail/broken voice: NOPE Struggling to walk unaided: NOPE Looking pale/discolouration of the skin: NOPE Noticeable weight loss: NOPE Series of recent hospitalisations: NOPE Given that he's in his 90s, sure, he could die next year, but with 100s of names to choose from, there are far more frail octogenarians and nonagenarians that would serve a better place on DL.

Rumours that Qi Xin has died from COVID-19 aged 96. No confirmation or denial from the CCP as of yet.

Number 9: Ma Jianzhang, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineers, dead at 85.

Didn't realise that Angela Rippon was a presenter on GB News now (she's a stand-in for Alastair Stewart from time to time apparently). Looks pretty good for someone who's turning 79 next year. I reckon she'll be with us for a long time yet.

Telegraph death notice for Anthony Whetstone (wiki), aged 95.

Times death notice for Gavin Weightman (wiki), 77, journalist and documentary filmmaker with a focus on the social history of London (and Britain) since the 18th century.

Times death notice for Brenda Swinbank (wiki), 93, probably the first female professional archaeologist in Britain.

Loretta Lynn was on there. Pretty sure David Warner was. Edit: Just checked Loretta Lynn was there, as was Andy Fletcher, James Lovelock and Sir David Butler. David Warner wasn't.
