Obit as confirmation.

Mirror obit for Skibadee.

You're the one always telling me I need to relax and stop taking everything so seriously! Also, didn't your screen name used to be "The Quim Reaper"? Isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black if you're taking issue with my crudeness?

Looks good for 94! Still partial to a bit of fanny fun I reckon.

Updated. @YoungWillz, birthday is 3rd October as per this post on FB, so he was 66. Presumably the guy on Twitter is just rounding to the year as he doesn't known a birthdate. Bandmate JC Carroll posts here that he died on Friday so 25th Feb... "Nick Tesco left the room on Friday after various battles with different illnesses. Nick had not been well for a long long time but he battled his disability and he never complained ."

Name Mr Nicholas G Lightowlers Birth 1954-1956 Residence 2003-2008 London, London, England Name Nicholas G Lightowlers Spouse Anna C F Cassavetti Marriage Apr 1988 Westminster, Greater London, United Kingdom There's a post on Tesco's FB from 2021 with a picture from his wedding day and he says "33 years today", so yes, this info is definitely correct. I can't get access to the record because it's NI, but at least we have the year confirmed now! Also, no idea what I just did to the format on my post

I’m not convinced. Everywhere online says he was Lightowlers, not Lightowler. Either way, no matches in the birth records. Looking at his Facebook, it would seem like he had blood cancer for several years so definitely a DDP miss given that it was all in the public domain. A&E admission pic from 2021.

Khorasani dead on English Wiki. No news results in English. I’m out and about at the moment, can someone else do some searching under his Arabic, Persian names etc? EDIT: IP address who added it looks dodgy. Possible hoax.

Not against this thread by any means but maybe you should’ve waited for there to actually be a single notable victim first? Otherwise this is all ideas and possibilities orientated…

It’s already linked in the post directly above yours…

Of the above names, you'd think Bob Barker given how frail he's been for bloody ages? Before researching this list, I didn't realise how difficult (and expensive!) it is to get a star on the Walk of Fame. Someone has to nominate you with all the appropriate paper work and the permission in writing from the nominee. The nominee then needs to pay $50,000 to the Walk for their star AND attend the ceremony in order for it to be installed (in the past, some ppl like Al Pacino, George Clooney and Bruce Springsteen agreed to get their stars, but never booked a ceremony, or in the case of Springsteen... never showed up!!). There's also only one posthumous honoree each year now (this year it's been granted to Carrie Fisher). Unbelievably (in addition to Pacino, Clooney and Springsteen), Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Julia Roberts, George Lucas, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Prince etc etc do not have stars. One notable nonagenarian omission is Clint Eastwood! Definitely long overdue, but maybe just doesn't want one. Seems to me the whole process has become too complicated and has basically turned into a money raising exercise for Hollywood. (the next star to be installed btw, will be Benedict Cumberbatch, in 2 days time, making him the 2714th recipient)

A list I feel is long overdue for this thread... Those with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame turning 90+ this year.

Updated. Odd. Just hours ago I compiled a list of people over 90 who had stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier (away to post it in the Hollywood thread), and she was on it.

I can only guess but probably something like "90% of respondents said "What's a yoo crane?".

Though 43 U.S. lawmakers (both Democrats and Republicans) have written to Biden requesting troops on the ground.

Unless fact – every President of Ukraine is still living so if Zelenskyy or Poroshenko die in action, they'll be creating a new club. Leonid Kravchuk (b. 1934) 1991–1994 Leonid Kuchma (b. 1938) 1994–2005 Viktor Yushchenko (b. 1954) 2005–2010 Viktor Yanukovych (b. 1950) 2010–2014 Oleksandr Turchynov (b. 1964) 2014 Petro Poroshenko (b. 1965) 2014–2019 Volodymyr Zelenskyy (b. 1978) 2019–

No centenary in March for P. A. Thomas (wiki) as he died on 19 January 1995, aged 72, as per this article by The Hindu which interviews his daughter. I can understand why you thought he was alive at the start of the century – he has a 2002 credit, but it was for dialogue, so it's likely he wrote it years before and it was adapted later on.

1) Alchetron is a data scraping/bot site. I've already explained to you how those work. 2) The first non-white female Test cricket player in Australia played in 1958, 10 years after Thelma McKenzie's Test match. 3) If further proof is needed here is an article about cricketer Thelma McKenzie with a photo (she was definitely white, and looked nothing like the above pictured lady!):

Where? Don't come on here claiming the contrary without presenting evidence.

I'm confused. Did you miss a piece of info out in your post? How do you link Peggy with Margaret? I can't find anything. Too obscure, thought she'll probably get a mention in Equity's next release.

Not sure who picked her or indeed why. There's more chance of Putin pulling out of Ukraine then sending a hamper with mini muffins and an apology letter than there is of her getting a QO.

Already had a full Telegraph obit 30 mins ago... pre-prepped obviously. Whether it was purely age related or they knew he was ill, who knows. I imagine the latter though. I must make a mental note to make friends with someone in the Telegraph or Guardian obits department... that way I might actually score inside the top 5 on the DDP one year.

Brilliant work @msc, going to have a thorough read of this later. Barbara Clegg is an interesting name. Older than the Queen, and the last DW writer born in the 1920s (+ there are none living born in the 1930s at all!). Do we know anything about her current state?

Death report for French actress Dominique Marcas (wiki), aged 101. Died on 15th Feb. All over social media but no French media picked it up. A pick on the Centenarians Deadpool, @chilean way.

This one could've also gone in the counterculture thread... Times obit for Anthony Stern (wiki), British experimental filmmaker who was a part of Pink Floyd's inner circle. Obit gives his age as 77, death date as February 10th, and simply gives the cause as "after a long illness"
