Ulitzer95

Has announced she’ll return to work on 22nd, just four days after Philip’s funeral (and one day after her 95th birthday). https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/queen-return-work-days-prince-philip-funeral-b929414.html

WTF are “governmental policies”?

I wish you banned... as soon as possible.

Blog reporting the death of Quinton Claunch (wiki), American songwriter, record producer, musician etc. Picked twice in the ABC Deadpool.

Edit: Not quite sure how they expect the Countess Mountbatten to attend given that she died in 2017. Perhaps they mean her eldest son, now the Earl Mountbatten after inheriting her title?

Mega cringe.

Picked by 2 teams in the DDP.

Yup.

4 ex, one incumbent.

Local obit.

@Octopus of Odstock Now finished all the Jimmy Stewart co-stars. Interestingly, one more death uncovered. Though it assumes that the DOB on IMDb is correct ofc. Probably true as nothing heard of Tate in years and doesn't appear to be in the residency records. Let me know your thoughts on the rest.

I recall why I left her off my DDP – I thought it was somewhat suspicious how she only revealed her diagnosis after she had been receiving treatment for quite a period of time. I had imagined that she had delayed the announcement until the point where she knew she was going to survive it, and I was right... for once. Can't say my DDP is going too well this year regardless. Oh well.

Updated the list of peers removed from the Lords in 1999 who are 95+ following the death of Prince Philip.

Updated for the deaths of Lord Eden, Lord Shaw and the Duke of Edinburgh. 14 WWII veterans remaining.

@Octopus of Odstock, I have less than 40 names left to do for the Jimmy Stewart co-stars. I've covered everyone 75+ so far. Before I continue... where did the YOB for David Kent come from? If you have a full date I could track him. And as for Battaglia, what contradicting info is it you have before I disappear down a rabbit hole? And where did your 1967 YOB come from? There's a family tree on Ancestry, and it matches the DOB (22/9/65) and DOD as listed on IMDb but it doesn't have photos or mention he was an actor. Anthony Battaglia isn't an uncommon birth name in the U.S. and there are two other NY residents – a 29 Jul 1964 birth and 17 Feb 1967 birth which could be him I suppose. The latter died in 2019 btw.

Updated for the death of drummer "Ed" Rothe. Being married to Jane McDonald is surely a cruel punishment for bad behaviour in a past life, but in turn it did land him a BBC obit. Swings and roundabouts.

Charles H. Coolidge dead at 99.

Confirmation via the Writers Guild of America. They have January 23rd as a date of death.

Artist Jean Dupuy dead at 95.

Louis Siminovitch (wiki), Canadian molecular biologist who explored the genetic links of cancer, supposedly died April 6th, less than a month shy of turning 101.

Robert Fletcher (wiki), American costume and set designer on stage (3 times Tony Award nominated) and four Star Trek films, supposedly died April 5th aged 98. His husband, Jack Kauflin, who was a dancer on Broadway, survives him. Not sure of his age but he had credits going as far back as 1944 so worth keeping in mind as an obscure name.

To be honest, I’m genuinely shocked that most of that Brexit Party vote is now going to the Tories. The post-election analysis suggested that their vote by-in-large was Labour Leavers who wouldn’t vote Tory. Maybe a combination of the fact that Brexit was delivered, the successful vaccine programme and more folk seeing other northern places voting Tory giving them enough encouragement to do the same now. Bodes really badly for the Labour Party for the future. Wales is now also crumbling from their hands. 14/40 seats there now Tory but a further 8 seats were within 6% of coming to them in 2019, and now polling for the Tories in Wales has gone up further still. Lab are in danger of only being relevant in large metropolitan areas like London or Manchester. I can’t quite explain it either, it’s truly bizarre.
