    Japan's last attempt on target was in the 72nd minute.

    Apparently was just moved into a care home, not that he's much aware of the fact.

    Dispatches from the Wikipedia edit war on whether Yvonne Gilan is alive or not: I am new to editing wikis and cannot understand why my factual corrections re my great friend the late Yvonne Gilan have not been saved. I knew her well for 62 years and lived next door to her for a very long time. My husband is taking her funeral next week, at her request, and we, together with Yvonne and her grandson Louis Gill, worked out the order of service shortly before she died in Edenhall Hospice. I simply I wanted to update the information about her. This also meant changing the present tense of the descriptions of her work into the past tense. What is the problem here? I also know for a fact that she is Scottish and was born at 70 Northumberland Street Edinburgh and not in London, as previously stated. There is a long YouTube interview which you can watch where, last year, she visited her old school in Edinburgh and talked about her schooldays and her life. I knew not only her husband Michael and late sons but also her mother and her cousins. I am in regular contact with Louis who is also her executor, and who has all her documents. Please can you tell me what the problem is? It really upsets me to see her referred to in the present tense. I did not give my email address when I registered as it said this was optional. Is this the problem? Happy to provide it if so - Louis himself is distressed that the wiki should be out of date, and asked me to update it when I saw him last week to finalise funeral details. My alias is Ruth Northumberland. Ruth Northumberland (talk) 15:34, 26 June 2018 (UTC) Yvonne's grandchildren Louis Gill and Flora Gill will be writing an obituary for the Other Lives tributes in The Guardian, but Louis has no plans for a newspaper announcement of her death. It may take several weeks or even months for the Guardian tribute to be published. Louis has been through Yvonne's address book and contacted everyone in it. While she was in the hospice, she had more visitors than anyone else, so I think it highly unlikely that anyone close to her is unaware of her illness and death.

    Andy Kaufman-esque shenanigans or is he trying to cover up repeated failed suicide attempts? You decide...

    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    Decided to do an update rather than properly deal with those issues.

    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    Yeah, and I'm also more and more convinced that the majority of picks for Joe Jackson (ugly new wave pianist) were actually for Joe Jackson (handy-with-a-belt father of a paedo).

    Wrestlers/actors

    While googling for something completely different, I found a forum for old British wrestlers and wrestling historians where a thread contains a list of "still living British wrestlers of the 1950s". Might as well steal it for here: Not all guaranteed obits, but definitely seven or eight names there you could use.

    Looks like a full-blown course of chemo for America's most-famous woman.

    Notice that late 90s WCW jobber Johnny Attitude died the other week as well. He was the 90th person beaten by Goldberg in his 173-match winning streak. Other deceased wrestlers who were a part of that streak: The Renegade Brad Armstrong Mark Starr Ray Traylor Rocco Rock Curt Hennig Brian Adams Kanyon Bam Bam Bigelow Plus perennial wrestling deathlist favourites Bobby Eaton and Perry Saturn are both in the "pending" pile.

    Hancock's Half Century (of death). The man who cucked John Le Mesurier downed a pint of vodka (that's nearly an armful) and barbiturates today in 1968.

    For those waiting for a Falzullah update, the US Department of State considers him still alive, so he's not "DDP dead" just yet.

    People I Was Surprised To Find Are Still Alive

    With the return of GLOW to Netflix this weekend, I was reminded of the fact that the promoter/moneyman behind the original GLOW, and the person Marc Meron's skeezy Hollywood neutoric character is clearly based on, was Matt Cimber - Jayne Mansfield's last husband. Also worked as a blaxploitation producer, so he had a varied career. Still with us and seemingly living in obscurity in his early 80s.

    She's the star of a reality TV show that's been running for god-knows-how-long and her going to prison was front page of the gossip rags both sides of the Atlantic, she counts.
