Pamela Kosh, who played hard-of-hearing English teacher Miss Simpson in Saved By The Bell, dead at 90.

Yeah, could really go for a documentary or a book about Quibi in a few years time. The Meg Whitman interview with Vulture has perhaps the perfect quote for someone tasked with selling a brand new form of media to millennials and zoomers.

Fucking hell, the sellers of life insurance are dying out quicker than they can film new adverts. We'll have Sun Life plugged by Skepta and Jessie J at this rate.

If you've never seen the documentary on him, An Honest Liar, you owe it to yourself to watch it this weekend.

This is where I kill the joke by pointing out the horse was named after Bethenny's father, the late American trainer and friend of Henry Cecil Robert J. Frankel.

If you were curious, the top 3 are Tom "Draco Malfoy" Felton, Todrick "Taylor Swift's choreographer" Hall and Bethenny "jawbone you could carve Sunday lunch with" Frankel.

Perhaps underlining how bad a pick this is, I note that Dick Van Dyke apparently earned the fourth most money of any celebrity on Cameo last week. He does charge £830 a pop, but still he's one place ahead of Jason Alexander.

What's your favourite balearic track DeathList? For me:

Bruno Martini, France's goalkeeper at the 1992 Euros and long-time Auxerre stopper, dead at 58.

Well, there goes my "haha, this is a great off-the-radar pick nobody else will have" for 2021.

Depends if that's her hand or a goiter.

Not "a spy", "aspie".

I was going to put dream interpreter Ann Faraday under "people you were surprised to find are still alive," but then I couldn't find any actual evidence she is still alive. She used to on the TV all the time in the 70s and 80s, on big shows as well, so you'd have thought she'd still have some presence online somewhere. Wikipedia doesn't have a DOB for her. This website claims she was born circa 1948, but there's claims out there her first book was published in 1967 when she'd have been 19, bizarrely young for an academic text to be published. She was the "life partner" of John Wren-Lewis, born 1923, so there's a big age gap there (he's now long dead so no chance of chasing up a tangent there). Wikipedia says she and Wren-Lewis settled down in Australia, and says he died in the town of Shoalhaven. There is an Ann Faraday in Shoalhaven, but the woman in that photo is clearly the same woman in this video receiving an award for her work as a school cleaner, which seems to be an odd career change. There's a "Patricia Ann Faraday" in Company House who lists their job as a "historian and researcher," and with a DOB of January 1949, but it has her starting up a company in the UK in January 2006, when she presumably would have still been in Australia with her dying partner. Going back to the previous paragraph, we know that Wren-Lewis and Faraday had a daughter called Fiona. Now this 1983 "Dream Bulletin" newsletter shows that she went by the name Fiona Faraday rather than Fiona Wren-Lewis. There is a Fiona Faraday on Facebook... and look who that is with her in her profile picture. School cleaner Ann Faraday. And she has Facebook friends with the surname Lewis. I'm lost.

Typographer Ed Benguiat dead at 92. Created loads of fonts, his eponymous "Benguiat" typeface is better known as the "Stranger Things" font. Avant Garde Gothic (seen here in the Cassius album cover) and Modern 216 (the "Sega Master System game title" font) were also his. Also designed the logo for the movie Super Fly.

How the fuck?

Punching bag and occasional cuckold Amir Khan thinks that it's all "population control while they test 5G".

If The Scottish Sun is allowed, is The Irish Sun also? I'd lean on it shouldn't be, but your call...

Bill Bryson announces retirement from writing. Doesn't mention any health issues but you never know...

I feel like Sarah Harding is a much more likely recipient of that title than Parky.

Glioblastoma for deadpoolers is like Fulham at home for fantasy football players.

That fucking "viral" cranberry juice Fleetwood Mac skateboarder. He comes anywhere near me with his inspirational west coast clearly-paid-by-marketing-forces shit, I'll give him a finger flip he can 180 on.

Alternate thread title: "All time low T-cell count"

You could fill your allowance of three DDP teams a year just with people whose death Corny will celebrate.

Is officially open for business. Emails appear to be very slow sending out, if you haven't received one by, idk, tomorrow, let me know.
