Chia Boon Leong (wiki) dead at 97.

The BBC’s annual “We Remember” will air later today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001gfn6

This amateur in memorial video is BETTER than TCM Remembers. Whoever is behind this, TCM really needs to hire them!

Strangely that guy doesn’t even have a Wiki page! @YoungWillz, TCM have pulled the video from YouTube which may signal some last minute changes. However, they’ve just uploaded it to their Facebook channel.

I've posted a full list of the 77 names featured in the TCM tribute above now. Can anyone tell me who the bloody hell these two are, and why their deaths are more notable than Sally Kellerman, Betty White, Louie Anderson or Bob Saget? Are TCM now taking bribes from families to include people in their tributes or something?

So does Peter Falk I'm told.

FFS. It’s retard hour.

Not far enough DI. Lock the god damn thread please!

You're mentally sick. Seek help.

You're insane.

Supposedly there were genuine fears that she wouldn’t see the Platinum Jubilee but she was absolutely determined to make it and to make appearances. Come August the other Royals were surprised at how lucid she still was and hence they expected that she may go on, perhaps seeing it past her 97th, but in the course of just a few weeks she rapidly declined. She was asked on several occasions if she wanted to return to Windsor but she stated that she wanted to go in Balmoral.

The Queen was diagnosed with bone cancer in October 2021 I’ve been told today by a former Cabinet Sec.

Michael Reed (wiki), cinematographer on On Her Majesty's Secret Service, dead at 93.

Why am I not the slightest bit surprised that you listen to JOb?

As I said, busy end to the year. Off to the ghost town.

Obit.

That’s not written by a human. It’s a bot auto generated site. Still alive.

Renowned Oxford scientist Mark Stokes announces on Twitter that he has “days” left. Relatively young and suffering from terminal cancer. May make the 2023 starting line so worth a punt in the DDP as he may score a Guardian obit. Sorry (not sorry) if I just revealed someone’s unique pick. I’m retiring from the DDP so I have no cards to hold for next year!

I get the impression this isn’t their final cut. It’s only Dec 18th, and they haven’t posted the tribute on their Facebook page as they usually do.

Canadian author and GBNEWS presenter Mark Steyn has taken leave of absence from the station after suffering two big heart attacks. ”Only” 63 but one to watch.

And also Sally Ann Howes.

Not one of their best to be honest. I think they should have included Betty White. A few other snubs as well. Edit: Only 77 names this year. There were 92 last time round. They could have definitely included some more names.
