IMDB has helpfully confused her with the folk singer of the same name (unless someone decided to interview Mike Reid's widow in between David "Ram Jam" Rodigan and Goldie). Anyway, Reid, his son and his granddaughter (who both pre-deceased him) are all buried close together at St Mary the Virgin Churchyard in Essex, so there's presumably a family plot? The cemetery is still interring bodies, but FIndAGrave (not a perfect resource obv) doesn't mention anyone called Collins or with the first name Shirley buried there in the past decade.

Andy, don't post up those piggies for free on the timeline, make some money on FeetFinder.

Healthy enough to take over the Radio 2 breakfast show this morning to mark 60 years of pirate radio.

With this thread I empathise with parents whose son turned out to be a nonce. Having all that hope when it started and those great moments in the early years, and then....

Here's an interview with her recorded live on December 22, 2021. The data above is wrong.

Surely too big a name to die off the radar? This museum had an exhibition of Jane Morgan memorabilia in 2022, with a quote from her about it opening....

Wouldn't be a DL Cup without SC bleeding from the crotch three weeks in.

Nutella pizzas. We get it, you've combined two Italian things together that people like. And somehow turned it into the absolute fucking worst of both worlds.

It's cool (kool?) to spell things with a "K"

I'm pretty sure (location, date and an old Facebook profile all seem to align here) that this Chastity Frye who died aged 41 in 2017 is the same Chastity Frye who, while working as an escort, turned down sex with Seung-Hui Cho and apparently inspired him to commit the Virginia Tech massacre a month later.

Orlando Avarena dead at 81. He was the manager of the Chilean national team in the late 80s, when they finished runners-up in the 1987 Copa America and, much more famously, were banned from the 1994 World Cup after goalkeeper Roberto Rojas faked being hit by a Brazilian fan's flare and cut himself open with a hidden razor in an attempt to get a 1990 WC qualification match abandoned.

The obligatory post-serious-medial-issue article from John Crace for any form-spotters.

Was looking down his IMDB profile at his final roles. One of them.... for some reason in 2022 they decided to remake American Gigolo as a TV series with Gretchen Mol, Wayne Brady and Rosie O'Donnell. Unsurprisingly it was cancelled after one series.

Back in hospital according to his wife.

Fade away... Thread opened because DDPs have been won with E Street Band members before, there's enough of them and lord forbid we miss The Boss stepping down. Anyway, let's kick things off with the death of Obie Dziedzic, the woman who was known as "the first Springsteen fan", usually seen front row at most US E Street gigs and at one point Bruce's housekeeper.

Jeremiah Farrell died on July 4, 2022. A mathematics professor, he created what is often regarded as the "greatest crossword in history", which ran in the New York Times on the day of the 1996 US general election and was able to be solved in two ways: However, no obit for him in the NYT, or seemingly anywhere else outside of this website.

Oh dear, look what they've done to the blues.

I've mentioned him a few times here, but this is a photo from his radio show the other day. Has he now beaten Jim Neidhart to the record of the man with the highest blood pressure in history?

Posting here because he could go in about four different categories: Dick Allix dead at 78. Started off as a musician, playing drums for Vanity Fare including on their cross-Atlantic hit "Hitching A Ride". Then went into sports management, firstly with Eric Bristow. Then was involved in the great darts schism of the early 90s, eventually ending up as one of the PDC top brass and being an agent for most of the current commentators on the arrers.

A first mention on the forum for possibly a popular name in future deadpools, Haitian copper-turned-gang-leader-turned-military-coup-leader Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier.

As roughly 10,000 people have joked on XformerlyknownasTwitter, "looks like Cheltenham finally finished off Alan Brazil"

Charlie Bird is a hit here. Eric Dornfeld (typo'd by me in my entry as Dornfield) will be if he gets a QO, having died last night.
