Yes, but on doing research for Ali's Scavenger questions, I think I found out there was so many Grammy awards given out per year that Sir Creep actually has 3 of them by now.

I'd assume so. He's still marked as alive not only on The Peerage website, but Cracroft's Peerage (though they don''t mark the death of Sally) and Unterstein - other followers of such things - do too. And their obsession make us look like mildly interested dilettantes in comparison. Plus he's friendly with the current Lord, and known enough to be mentioned if he's gone. And yes, went on my long list too.

Whenever me and Mrs msc see him show up on things, one of us invariably asks the other "how the fuck is he still alive?" And I dunno, tbh!

iirc George Martin didn't rate Pete Best as a musician. And if he had been semi-decent, you'd expect an ex-Beatle to find another home. Maybe if he'd had a tenth of Lemmy's indomitable drive in the face of adversity, he'd have a good career himself, and not been a bitter old has been 50 years on.

Given it''s theatre critics and actors (Robin Askwith is on twitter!), likely to be sadly true. Between Claudius (she played his wife Messalina that got her head chopped off), the Lynda la Plante link, the Confessions stuff, Oliver (is that cast cursed?), being Sharon Watts's mum on Eastenders, and Poldark, a proper obit *ought* to be up before end of the day.

Aye, apparently Pope Francis bumped off the nanny and it got covered up by the Queen as they were both in cahoots to frame Lucan to protect The Beatles. Honest.

Excuse me a second... Fuck off!!!!! Yours, A fan PS So, that Grand Slam's def not happening now, right?

Summary here - not much new.

And they named the poor kid STAR CLOUD...

Saakashvili has since become a supporter of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, became governor of Odessa, overthrown, charged with war crimes and sent to Holland, only to get political asylum. Pretty sure there's a film in his life story...

She noted last year she has "cardiac issues". Also in 2009, she had renal failure, nearly died and wound up requiring open heart surgery.

No idea about WW2 (my family were too old, too young, or conscientious objecters then) but I did have a great uncle who died on the front line at the Somme, aged 14. So take that for what its worth. iirc the youngest American - claimed - was born in 1930. If you take the 18 age as cert, folk born 1927 serving in 1945. Henry Allingham got to 113. Harry Patch 111. Hence estimates of 2038 (ie 1927 plus 111). HOWEVER... You have to figure in that by end of WW2, Hitler was sending kids to the front line. So that brings the potential age barrier up considerably. With that and the "everyone enlisted" approach in the USSR, we'll probably never know when the last WW2 vet dies. So they'll focus on the Brit, and 2036-9 seems a rough ball park for that. By which point, half of us might be gone...

11am UK/Ireland time. 6am New York. I haven't a clue what timezone Chicago, Sir Creep and others are in.

Sorry to hear that, Phil, thoughts with you and yours.

Fucks sake. Driver sounds like he needs a kick in the balls with a rusty chainsaw. You alright, Toast?

Folk born in the late 60s or the 1970s ie the bit in-between baby boomers and millennials. People who come up with these tags are all wankers and wrong uns, imo.

Ah, so the only way Brexit would be a humongous disaster is if the government were a bunch of self-serving incompetents who had absolutely no plans and hadn't bothered coming up with any when they'd had 2 and a half years. I'm sure LFN has reassured the forum now.

PS If you trust charon's nose for these things (if any of them are Protestants, 100%), then 2019 is goodnight for two of those and time for the troubled deadpooler to think about the other two.

Anyone seen the American version, Better Late Than Never? It jumps from location to location and very American, but quite fun for all that. All of the 4 could walk unaided and communicate, so not 2019 picks right off the bat, but anyhow: Cast: William Shatner (1931) - who is as you'd expect, eccentric/mentalist/know-it-all with just enough charm to cover, but despite aging a bit, still seems more spry and mental agile than folk a decade younger. One of ours eventually but should see 90. George Foreman (1949) - Actually looks in better nick than you'd think for someone who was in the ring that long. Funny guy too. Again, one of ours in time but I don't think he's in any hurry quite yet. Henry Winkler (1945) - Aging but got a decade in him, walks unaided, etc. Shatner might outlive him though. Terry Bradshaw (1947) - Seemed to age a fair bit between seasons, and had trouble walking at times. Of the 4, he seems a prime candidate for a quick exit in the next 5 years. Much better than the latest Marigold Hotel: Susan George, Selina Scott, The Krankies? That's not form spotting, that's folk who'll be around for another two decades. Stephanie Beacham kept drearily talking about being fed up of existence, so if she gets cancer or what not she could go downhill quick, but otherwise, boring celebs being boringly healthy in India. Give me Foreman and Shatner pissing around over that.

Ric Flair on the BBC News as a talking head? Seriously? 10 mins ago me can't comprehend that, let alone 5-10 years ago...

Ah good.

Aye, what''s love but a second hand emotion? Just fixing the open goal missed there...

Little wonder! "Mr Biblio, have you sorted out Brexit yet? My government aren't doing very well." [Bibliogryphon reply redacted due to 30 year rule.]
