Probably doesn't get much attention in Wessex to be fair.

BBC athletics commentator and former Olympian Paul Dickenson reported dead aged 74.

A development which absolutely nobody could have foreseen... Brighton's i360 enters administration It owes Brighton & Hove City Council £51,000,000.

Good job someone was paying attention! You are correct; I think I misread last year's total as 317.

is there a Helen Gallagher obit as well by any chance? We could be at 300 by the morning at this rate.

John Tinniswood is DDP hit number 295; will we hit 300 by the weekend? 22 needed now to reach last year's record.

As noted elsewhere Rico Carty, dead aged 85

Big Yin reaches another birthday, 82 today. For reasons I'll not go into, I thought I'd post this....

Chuck Woolery. I know the name, so I must have seen him presenting Scrabble - I'd never admit to having watched Love Connection. Anyway, a DDP pick, so if you see anything... As I was saying - QO!

Is that an 8 x 10 colour glossy?

Alan Mullery is 83 today

Me neither, I assumed it was a millennial thing!

It's 124 years since the death of Sir Arthur Sullivan, half of the well-known Gilbert & Sullivan, of heart failure, aged 58. In addition to his operatic compositions, he also wrote "St. Gertrude", which achieved everlasting fame as the melody to "Onward Christian Soldiers".

In the absence of any objections, the DDP has been updated for the death of Roger Guillemin. Any objections raised henceforth will be ignored.

Not to mention Jimmy Carter's impressive achievement of lasting eleven and a half month of the year by mid-November!

Unless anyone can provide a compelling reason not to award "Roger Guillemin" points I shall do so shortly; seems to me all the qualification criteria have been met.

Re wannamkers link to The Times website, the DDP rules specify "thetimes.co.uk" but that seems to redirect to "thetimes.com", at least thats what I'm finding - anyone else finsing this too, or is it just me? Even Anthony Epstein's obit link in the DDP, which is entered as "thetimes.co.uk" etc, redirects to "thetimes.com"

If you can post a screenshot which includes the mention and the Times URL I think that would satisfy the rules.

One Bee Gees drummer dying is unfortunate, two might be described as a
