I've contacted The Guardian. Given up on the Hollywood Reporter as Mike Barnes seems to only respond to my emails when/if it suits him to.

Telegraph obit for Squadron Leader Cecil "Boz" Parsons, aged 105, Aussie "flying coffin" pilot in the RAAF who flew heavy bombers over Berlin and Dunkirk. Awarded the DFC. Was still flying aircrafts until 94. Survived by his wife of 77 years and all three of their children (exactly what you want to hear in an obituary for someone that age).

They can kill you if they get stuck by causing complications eg sepsis, so worth mentioning I think. iirc Pete Burns had them several years before he died. I think they can sometimes be a good indicator as to overall health. In saying that I’m at an athlete level of fitness and I’ve had them before, so just depends.

Well turns out BBC director and producer John B. Hobbs (IMDb) was a resident of Denville Hall, but not now. Times death notice copied in spoiler below.

*Sister Wives star Janelle Brown's SON, Garrison. Reading is hard.

As I said previously...

Incredible. Can you please give us some more details?

Not sure how any Brit can be unaware of Levi Roots. Probably the most famous Dragon’s Den success story in its 19+ year run. Reggae reggae sauce is also stocked in pretty much every supermarket now.

I believe these are the oldest living Aussie rules players now, but it's hard to keep track of them as they often die off radar: Jim Miller (wiki), 104 Jack Taylor (wiki), 99 Gordon Green (wiki), 98 Max Glass (wiki), 98 Angus Abbey (wiki), 98 Basil Rigg (wiki), 97

She'll still be here this time next year. The reality is her cunt cancer could spread to every cell of her body and it would still only be at stage one.

It's as if she's completely exaggerating her condition for the sake of publicity and attention. Hmmmmmmmm.... I see she deleted her Twitter the other day (or deactivated it at least), but within hours was abusing ppl from her alt accounts, as per always. Absolute creature she is.

Only 5 I’ve heard of are Nikita, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, Levi Roots and Fern Britton. The size of the Wiki pages for the others suggests it’s not just a generational thing – they’re just small budget bookings.

I already discussed this one with @Gisooo in our DMs. It seems to be bullshit. She’s still alive.

Paul Rambali (wiki), British music journalist and critic of rock music, dead from prostate cancer at 66. Coined the term "grunge". Times obit.

Thanks for pointing this out. Not off radar though if she only died yesterday and someone has already brought it to public attention.

I'm more interested to see what she's like given her (fairly) recent medical emergency, which I'm led to believe was a stroke.

A unique DDP pick.

James Corson Niederman (wiki), American epidemiologist, supposedly dead at 99. His research identified the Epstein-Barr virus as the culprit for glandular fever. Niederman's death comes in a time appropriate fashion given that the co-discoverer of the virus itself, Sir Anthony Epstein, died just a few weeks ago.

A pity it’s not something more serious.

Whole article loads on a desktop version. For some reason the mobile version only shows that first line.

Already being discussed over at the DDP 2024 thread.

I was literally just away to post both of these in here. Bravo!

*94

The most worrying thing about that article is learning that she's only 58. We could be left with any one of these tarts for another 40 years yet.

Didn’t do Gov Gens. Heads of state and heads of government only.
