Perhaps worthier of a thread of his own but I'm gonna hold off on it because I don't care about him that much tbh, but there's a lot of talk on Twitter that Terry Venables is in the final stages of Alzheimer's. Googling around, I can't find him being interviewed or making any public appearance since 2017, and according to talk here he's long sold the hotel he used to run due to "ill health".

Back in the lab with a pen and a pad

Bob Bragg, who was co-pilot on Pan Am Flight 1736 in 1977 when it was involved in the largest ever plane disaster (Tenerife airport disaster, 583 dead), died in 2017. He always popped up on "minutes from disaster" documentary shows talking about how that Dutch nutter basically scalped his airplane.

Stadiums are only at 1/4 capacity and fans must be socially distanced though. Probably have to sell some half-and-half scarves to make the money up on merch.

wh&toids losing yet again...

75-year-old retired attorney gets a phone call one day letting him know his biological parents, who put him up for adoption, were Orson Welles and Vampira.

A new one for the list: former Northampton Town defender Tony Claypole, who made 125+ appearances for the Cobblers between 1957 and 1962. Family members are asking for any memorabilia that can help him remember his playing days as he has dementia and Alzheimer's.

Ben Chaplin and Paul Bettany are one person for me as well.

And then he became literally the only man in history Missy Hyatt turned down sex from. What a shitter of a day for him.

Ritchii Kara has signed up for a modelling website in the past two months as well.

Am I right in saying Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (Meet Your Maker, 2007) is the earliest surviving still-living pick on a winning DDP team?

DDP is the most prestigious.

Nah, Siegfried and Roy were confirmed cunthounds. Look at these proper men's men:

I just searched for "Marion Ross" and found it.

His face looks like Mount Rushmore after a landslide

Shit. Rewatched Election (still one of the best American films of the 90s) a few months ago and wondered why her career never really took off.

American lawyer Fred Levin dead from COVID at 83. Would list some of his achievements here, but you need to click on his Wikipedia page as it is an all time HoF-er for "he clearly wrote his own Wiki".

We're in a position now where there's too many celebrities that share names. It was bad enough in the 70s when there were three famous people called John Le Mesurier, but why in 2021 do we need two people called Peyton List? Or Erin Moriarty?

Music's a whole 'nother bag. For instance I still refuse to believe The View and The Twang were different bands.

[obviously I'm not complaining here and just offering views not intended to diminish or disparage the Committee] I originally took it to mean there was a cut-off point w/r/t fame of the celebrity rather than the family member. So, for instance, the father of (searches for a celebrity father who doesn't have a Wikipedia page) Elon Musk, Errol Musk, would have been accepted, whereas that guy from Strictly's dad wouldn't. Because, otherwise, what separates Kate Middleton or various assorted first ladies from Andrea Swift? Why is Barack Obama's grandmother an acceptable pick? Eminem's mother, who he has banged on about enough in his songs over the years, does that make her famous enough?

Two footballers on Not Gone Yet Still Forgotten? Including one who played in a World Cup? Mainstream sellouts....

Will 107-year-old Nancy Stewart's quest to attend a virtual mass in every Irish county see a QO when the great buffering catches up with her?

Obvious place for a Julie Strain QO: Giles Coren's Times column.

I assume "Going, going, gone" is another team name that's picked up a description for a previous outfit?

Not to sing a song that celebrates myself, but Zoe Davison is my first unique hit since Yosra El-Essawy on October 24, 2014. When "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor was #1.
