    Hold on a minute. Was Jackie Stallone's death actually an elaborate hoax?

    Sir Geoffrey Cox QC now under fire as well. Cox is a very accomplished lawyer and represented the British Virgin Islands Gov against the UK Gov in court. Also seems to spend 90% of his time doing this type of work. Only spoke once in the Commons chamber in the last 13 months. The Chief Whip was supposedly absolutely livid and called him up this morning, effectively ordering him to spend more time in his constituency. IMO he should just step down and let someone else do the job. I know it's likely hard to let go as it would be a great honour being a member of parliament, but you cannot represent your constituents effectively if you have another full time role elsewhere.

    Voice Actors

    Another off-radar death? His Star Tiger profile says that prominent voice actor Val Bettin (wiki), died on January 7, aged 97. Known for using an English accent in all of his voices, even though he was American. Notable Disney roles include Dawson in The Great Mouse Detective and The Sultan in the Aladdin film series. Last film role was as The Bishop in Shrek. Edit: picked on several deadpools on here. Bad luck.

    The 100 Club

    A quick Google suggests he's barely notable. A lot of vaguely notable individuals get Wiki pages because there's an obsession amongst some users to create pages for people aged 100+. Helmut Ashley another recent example of someone aged 100+ who died off radar who really wasn't that notable a name in cinema. Jessie Lichauco hasn't even received one mention of her death outside of Facebook. She only got a Wiki article aged 102. Would she have gotten one if she died aged 80? Probably not. Her family really seem to have pushed her profile in recent years. There are lots of Resistance members still alive so one of their deaths in itself isn't notable. I think there is only one White Rose member still alive (Traute Lafenz, aged 102) so she will definitely get obits in France, Germany and the UK when she dies.

    Hunger Strikers

    He suggested today that he’s about to give it up in the next couple of days because he doesn’t want it to impact his health. Sensible decision. He’s done well and he got a lot of media attention to the cause, which I suppose was the key aim.

    Non-British Royals

    Princess Marie Alix of Schaumburg-Lippe (wiki) dead at 98. Was the 2nd oldest living European royal according to this.

    Hi everyone

    I think Betty White will last longer on here than you will.

    Ideas and possibilities 2022

    Vitabiotics use Martin Bell to promote their 70+ Wellman products on the London Underground. If he didn’t have a good bill of health, I doubt they’d have chosen him.
  14. Ulitzer95

    Ideas and possibilities 2022

    Why? Because he’s acknowledged that he’s 83 and therefore probably too old to run as an MP again? I’d call that common sense. I suppose you think he has cancer too?

    The Beatles Death Curse

    The obit says born in 1934, so 87?

    Dead Pop Stars

    Declan Mulligan (wiki), guitarist for 60s rock band The Beau Brummels dead at 83. Huge group in the States. Never charted in the U.K. yet still seem to have some name recognition here.

    British Character Actors

    By Wiki/IMDb standards, yes. By our standards (common sense), it's accurate. The tree is by the Gratrix family (match on surname with his niece) and it has a very detailed entry for him. Fascinating guy by the looks of it btw. Attended drama school in 43, left to join the Royal Armoured Corps in 44, then discharged in 48. Retired from acting in the 80s but seemed to keep very active before being hospitalised in need of leg surgery, where it looks like he contracted pneumonia and died aged 93. A real shame he didn't obit. I've submitted to IMDb using a mix of records. On a lighter note, MyHeritage really needs to get with the times. "Wife"?!

    Political Frailty

    Death notice for Patrick Byrne (wiki), 96, Ireland's oldest living former TD (member of the lower house). Served from 1956 to 1969. The oldest former TD or Senator is now Thomas J. Fitzpatrick (wiki, b. July 1926).

    Thanks @YoungWillz. Updated. As per a FB post by Carla Benson, Benton seems to have died yesterday (6th).

    British Character Actors

    Yes, that's him. His niece has a photo on her actual FB page of her with Belchamber, and his husband, actor Bernard Archard (1916–2008). IMDb will never accept this. Do we have anything else?
