Janey Godley always was a bit of a poisonous cunt. Still, wouldn't wish anyone ill with cancer. I hope she lives so she can continue to make a total arse of the nationalist movement in Scotland. Also enjoying that someone on the left who too often plays the faux offence card in everything is having a taste of her own medicine by the fact that tweet archaeologists seem to have uncovered a lot of her historical racist quips.

I actually really like the broadening of QOs (though I wouldn't broaden it any further now). It balances out the # of deaths now that we've ditched FFBI and FOTF type names.

I'm guessing that you'll probably be aware of this but this is by no means accurate. These are only 5 of the oldest that we're aware of. The last WWI veteran, Florence Green, died 10 years ago this coming February. In the years preceding her death there was a lot of hunting for new names. Around 2005 we still had several hundred First World War vets left, all of whom were centenarians, and just as soon as you thought you had the oldest sussed out, new names came forward. The same drive of interest in WWII veterans and measuring their stats has barely started, and only in the U.S. it would seem. In 5–10 years from now we will see record keeping for # of vets, oldest vets etc. This will interest you. It's the estimated # of veterans in the U.S. (including by state) and it's updated every autumn. There are 240,000 in the U.S. alone as of 2021. By 2025 it will be about 65,000.

Yeah it's their official verified page. Full post cut and pasted: "Keith Allison August 26, 1942 - November 17, 2021 It is with deep sadness we announce the untimely passing of Keith Allison on the evening of November 17, 2021, at home in Sherman Oaks, California. Born Sydney Keith Allison on August 26, 1942, in Coleman, Texas, and raised in San Antonio. Keith Allison was a multi-talented songwriter, musician, singer and actor with a long list of credits. Keith knew everyone, and everyone loved Keith. Keith Allison recorded and performed with some of the biggest names and acts such as Roy Orbison, Ringo Starr, Sonny & Cher, The Beach Boys, The Righteous Brothers, Chuck Berry, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Monkees, Boyce & Hart, Harry Nilsson, Alice Cooper, Rick Nelson, The Crickets and Johnny Rivers just to name a few. He also appeared in many movies and TV shows as an actor and musician. Keith Allison has been entertaining since the late 50’s where he was in local bands and club performances with Clarence (Gatemouth) Brown, Doug Sahm, Augie Meyer performing in the Keith Allison Combo. Moving into the 60’s Keith was Musical Director and Guitarist for Ray Peterson from 1962-1965. In 1964-65 Keith was a member of The Crickets along with his cousin drummer Jerry Allison. Keith’s success took off when he arrived in Los Angeles in the mid-sixties. It was at a taping for Dick Clark’s “Where The Action Is” at the Whisky A-Go-Go that really put Keith on the map, when the camera panned catching him in the shot, and the audience swore Paul McCartney was at the taping. The phone rang off the hook at Dick Clark Productions, “if not McCartney, then who was that?”. Keith was invited back to be a part of “Action” becoming a permanent cast member along with friends Paul Revere & The Raiders. Keith contributed to a lot of memorable music including The Monkee’s self-title debut, ‘Headquarters’, ‘Head’ and co-writing “Aunties Municipal Court” with fellow Texan Michael Nesmith on ‘The Birds, The Bees, and The Monkees’. Keith played Guitar and Harmonica on Sonny & Cher’s “The Beat Goes On”. In 1967 Columbia Records signed and released the album Keith Allison ‘In Action’. Most notable, Keith was a member of Paul Revere & The Raiders from 1968 to 1975 on bass, guitar, organ, vocals and writing credits. Keith co-wrote with Mark Lindsay “Freeborn Man”, considered one of the top bluegrass songs of all time, recorded and performed live by scores of artists. In 1971 Keith scored the film “Where Does It Hurt?” starring Peter Sellers, as well as wrote and sung the title song. In 1974 and 1975 Keith toured with Johnny Rivers on bass and guitar. In 1976, recorded “Sail Away” with Harry Nilsson and played on Nilsson album produced by Steve Cropper. From 1975 to 1977 Keith was on guitar and band leader for ‘Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart’ and on Capitol Records album and live album “Live In Tokyo” while touring with them in Asia in 1976. In 1977 Keith played Guitar on Ringo Starr’s “Bad Boy” followed by 1978 as musical director for Ringo Starr’s TV special “Ringo”. In 1980, Keith wrote and recorded four songs for the film “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” starring friend Dennis Quaid. In the 90’s Keith went on to act in several popular television shows such as “Blossom”, “7th Heaven”, and “The Wonder Years”. In 2003 Keith played Captain James J. White in the film “Gods and Generals” starring another friend Robert Duvall. In 2007, Keith was inducted as a member of Paul Revere & The Raiders into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. In 2015, Keith was inducted as an Ambassador of the Buddy Holly Foundation along with Don Everly, and was presented with a replica Buddy Holiday J45 guitar presented by Jerry Allison. In 2016, at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, Keith played guitar and sang with The Crickets for their final performance. Since 2000, Keith has been a permanent guest member of the Waddy Wachtel Band. Keith is survived by his wife Tina Stern of 40 years, Son Ryeland Allison, Daughters Allison Gonzalez (Husband Rob) and Brenda Meck (Husband Rich), Sister Cherri Hicks (Husband Don), Judith Allison & Don Reo, eight grandchildren Zephyr, Skyler, Gavin, Adrian, Madeline, Isabella, Makyla, Mercedes, and six great grandchildren. A Celebration of Keith’s Life will be announced at a future date. Please direct any media inquiries to: Alex Hart alexhartmanagement@yahoo.com"

He looks like a fun gi.

I saw this earlier, though note that the edit killing him off on his Wiki page came before several tweets saying that he was hospitalised, so could be premature.

David Galliford (wiki), Bishop of Hulme (1975–1984) and Bolton (1984–1991) dead at 96. I forgot to include Ted Luscombe (wiki), 97, above. So him and Henry Moore (wiki), 98, are the last two surviving CoE bishops who served in WWII.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

A little late with this one, but Maple, the dog of YouTuber AcousticTrench, who appeared in all of his videos, died in June, aged 12. Between YouTube and Facebook he had over 5 million subscribers. Not bad for a dog and a guitar!

Outstanding foresight @Sir Creep. Take a bow.

Yup.

Maggie Smith interview from May. Turns 88 next year, but I reckon she's got another few left in her yet. Robbie Coltrane recorded message for a fan, again from May. Looks okay. I still don't think he'll see 80 though. For the record, couldn't find any recent clips of Michael Gambon. Make of that what you will.

Writes like Iain. Seems as gullible / imaginative as Iain. Are you Iain?

QO from the Mirror. That's the most expensive bag of cookies he ever bought...

When I lived in Aberdeen, there was an old guy in a cowboy hat (somewhat of a well known vagrant around those parts) who used to drink at my local. He used to sit at the bar all day and grumble things into his pint about politics, like "I don't trust any of the bastards", and "see me, I'm a fucking mercenary". Where were you in 2012? *shifty eyes*

Confirmed?

Mustafa Ben Halim announces he'll run for President.

I was wondering when the new series of The Undateables was due to start. These people are so middle class it's painful. Doubt they'd last 5 days on a hunger strike. Then again, considering they likely live on a diet of rabbit food most days, not eating anything won't seem too dissimilar.

Guys...

Going to make this one easy for the conspiracists who now think she has some kind of hand cancer, by explaining this in the most dumbed down way possible. Look at the upper half of the photo, and now look at the bottom half of the photo. You'll notice that the cream/white walls are also a much darker shade where the lighting is poor. Likely due to no artificial lighting being present, and/or the windows of the room being higher up the wall/partially covered/curtains half closed etc. I might not be a pro, but I've committed myself to enough amateur photography to understand this is a normal effect. Lighting hugely affects how our skin and complexion appears in pictures.

Sir Ted Horlick died on 12th November, aged 96, according to a now reverted edit to his Wiki page. Can't find a death notice anywhere though.

Mike "Bones" Germesa, drummer for L.A. Guns from 1992 to 1994, dead from liver failure.

Andy Warhol (wiki, 1928–1987) was an iconic American artist, film director and producer who broke grounds in his pop art movement, photography and experimental filmmaking. His New York studio, known as The Factory, promoted a group of personalities, known as the Warhol Superstars. They were a collection of models, drag queens, intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities, playwrights and patrons. The Superstars appeared in Warhol's work, but also accompanied him in his social life. They complimented the famous dictum, misattributed to Warhol, that "in the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes". Warhol would film the subjects then simply declare them "superstars".

The Hollywood Reporter have the list of attendees to the HBO reunion, marking 20 years since the first film came out. Confirmed to be attending, so far: Christopher Columbus (director) Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) Robbie Coltrane (Rubeus Hagrid) Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort) Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge) James Phelps (Fred Weasley) Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas) Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) Ian Hart (Professor Quirrell) Felton mysteriously collapsed whilst golfing in September 2021 and was taken to hospital. Coltrane has been ill for years, is wheelchair bound and seldom makes appearances. Perhaps their presence should be enough to rule them out for next year. Then again, James Michael Tyler appeared at the Friends reunion this year via Zoom, and he was dead 4 months later. Notably, J.K. Rowling has been snubbed, but that's more likely due to silly political reasons rather than anything else. Whilst HBO have said that other cast members will appear as surprises along the way, it's worthwhile noting who the omissions are for now: Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore #2) Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick / Griphook #2) Kenneth Branagh (Professor Lockhart) Brendan Gleeson (Mad-Eye Moody) Fiona Shaw (Aunt Petunia) Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew) David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney) Julie Walters (Molly Weasley) Miriam Margolyes (Professor Sprout) David Bradley (Filch) Toby Jones (Dobby) Leslie Phillips (The Sorting Hat) Pam Ferris (Aunt Marge) David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jr.) More may ofc announce they're attending later, but worth keeping a tab on these... Notable dead actors from the franchise so far... Richard Harris (Professor Dumbledore #1) Alan Rickman (Professor Snape) Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon) Robert Hardy (Cornelius Fudge) Verne Troyer (Griphook #1) Roger Lloyd Pack (Barty Crouch Sr.) Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy) John Hurt (Mr. Ollivander) (+ 28 others who are less notable)

Turns out Haste wrote Clarissa Eden's Guardian obit!
