    I mean the language used and writing style between my posts and Rover’s isn’t even similar. Even if I had a split personality I couldn’t vary style and cover up identifiable give aways that quickly between signing in and out / switching between devices.

    Read your own post. You didn’t say what she was mentioned for. You wrote that out separately. We all know that anyway, it’s been mentioned in this thread several times before. Ok, I’m bored of talking to you now Deathray/Miracle Aligner. Good night

    People Who Are Dead According To Wikipedia...

    Evidence of still being alive? Not uncommon for it to take weeks/months for universities to put write ups for dead academics.

    LOL. I can assure you I only use one login. You, on the other hand, are suspect. Death ray/Miracle Aligner perhaps?

    Olivia De Havilland

    Absolutely no need to be so rude. You haven’t said in what context she was mentioned. @RoverAndOut has explained this point to you seeing as you don’t seem to grasp the definition of “context”. It’s you who can’t understand English.

    Name on birth record is “Eliza Janet Thomson”. So no, her first name wasn’t Elizabeth, smartass.

    Updated. Found her birth record now that her real name is actually known (erroneously reported as Elizabeth Thomson before). Sadly only have the year. Maybe a more complete obit will follow.

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show

    Heard this point being made many times before. I suppose it depends on how one values their own life and whether or not every second on the clock is worth saving. To me it's feckless and ungrateful to have such an attitude considering the chance of even just being born is 1 in 400 trillion. Not enough people stop to ponder their own existence, they're too caught up in the moment.

    He's still doing the 1-1 meet and greets via Fanmio here. $100 if you're a schmuck.

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show

    I assume this is what @MILFHunterGMan is referring to. EDIT: Here's another one of these Zoom chats. In this he's sat there in his wheelchair puffing away on a cig. It's as if having a major stroke taught him nothing. So reckless.

    The Dead of 2020

    Go on the YouTube video. They're all writing comments like "Awww RIP Prince Spaghetti boy, you'll be missed and you're with the angels now". I'm sat here reading them thinking "SERIOUSLY?!".

    Cheers. Alan Kirk born 1951–1953 as per census records, so we'll go with c. 1952 for now. Too many people named Alan Wood in Sheffield. Google suggests his middle name is John. Still doesn't help though as census doesn't always take middle names sadly.

    Thanks. All three added. Holmes also played with The Kinks. Rob Goodale, as per his FB is from London and now lives on Australia's Gold Coast. As per the GRO, he was born in 1954 in Wandsworth. Nothing on Brown. Willis Sylvester is listed as a member on their Rate Your Music page, he's the third brother and seems to be the only one still alive. As per this his real name is Zephrine Francis Sylvester, unless I'm missing something.
