Aye.

On the contrary, I know all these names. Can people post more secret names publicly instead? I need all the help I can get these days.

She was also in Hallowe'en 3 (the one without Michael Myers) and had one of the more memorable death scenes when she tries to fiddle with the microchips on one of the masks.

Suffered a bad fall and broke his hip earlier this year. Must admit his advice quoted there raised a smile:

The phrase "One for the List of the Missed" is already far too popular!

That was the year that brought about the rule changes. The Cmme was more focused on the transfer of how the system works that the fact folk had been gaming the Theme Team League (which I never paid much attention to as a DDP thing) escaped until too late in the day. We were also distracted by the "why haven't you changed the FFBI loophole already?" complaints when the answer was "because there's 2000 lines of corrupted code buggering up the website Reptile needs to fix first, plus a whole bunch of other gremlins". My proposal was to just axe the theme team league, as it was extra work for nowt but complaints, but Reptile and Grim outvoted that.

Good idea for a theme team!

Yeah he went very quickly after diagnosis was revealed publicly. And per say/per se frequently trips me up, though not as often for "taken for granted", for granted feeling like it should be one word.

Nah same perilous condition from months ago. Just like Mongo, it's astounding they're still breathing and unlikely to still be the case by Christmas.

Le Pen in hospital. Woodward at the very least nearly a decade with end-stage dementia (and possibly worse). Jimmy C in palliative care. Charlton too ill to do family funerals. Starmer-Smith practically on his deathbed. Delors meant to be quite ill. Ackland said elsewhere to be in frail health on this forum. Kundera with heart issues. Faithful with COPD/in a care home. Rolf (allegedly) in deathbed. Willie Nelson frail after being gravely ill last year. Linda Nolan cancer spread badly. Dennis Skinner MIA and "not doing great" years ago. Al-Fayed allegedly dying in court documents. Sonny Rollins just about hanging to life somehow. You know, for a list which looked mediocre, I can't recall a time we've got to the end of the first quarter and we've had quite so many obviously frail good picks on the list suddenly.

Not dead, the now 90 year old Ray Austin was interviewed in last week's Radio Times. Stuntman, actor, director of every major 70s show (Avengers, Randall and Hopkirk and so on.) Shagged Cary Grant's wife, taught Diana Rigg kung fu. Anyhow apparently he's meant to be in good nick and writing his memoirs.

Was originally a kid who showed up on Wogan at the age of 10 to talk antiques in a posh voice as a joke segment. (So had had years of training for that before hand.) Kept getting TV spots as a "child prodigy expert". Claims to have been bullied by their family from an early age over being too feminine. Turned out about 20 years ago their psychiatrist from early childhood was actually a fake name for their mum, who was pretending to be a councillor. As an early public trans person, has had a fairly regular media spot since but has always come across as someone mentally fucked over by their family who was still struggling to deal with it. Like I said, crap parents. Treat a child like a test subject for your own money making and you are a shithead imo (to say nothing of the bullying/screwing over their health etc)...

tbh this particular case (chucked on live TV aged 10 after hot housing, then used for "celebrity" to make the family dosh, given quack therapy, and the resulting life of severe depression) I am quite willing to believe its another sad case of "fucked up for life by crap, crap parents".

tbh I lost touch with pop culture as I became more of a teenager so I went from "hello there" to "huh she married Chris Evans?" to "huh she's going to be in Doctor Who?" very quickly. And then very quickly into the first episode, I realised she could act. Not got great taste in men, mind you!

Fuck off you pedantic bastard!

In defence of Diego - Yes, the likes thing is annoying but just ignore it like I do. I ignore most notifications unless its something strange like "huh, why did Sir Creep like this post?" "Oh yeah, because I was a funny fucker, awesome" and so on. - Mind the translation barrier. Not just language, but jokes, idioms, forum traditions. imo he's picking them up faster than some of the English speaking posters did. - Everyone here posts the deaths of folk no one else gives a shit about. If they're important to the person, live and let live. Or click "forum read". - Between joining in the games, and cutting down on the likes (its quite notably cut down since new year, by comparison) he's clearly trying to fit in. Better than a lot of you did back in the day. So maybe don't be grumpy fuckwits. And hey, I know all about being a grumpy fuckwit.

I was very fond of Billie Piper at the time*. The songs are immaterial. *mrs msc is older too, you know, I should have know I'd have a thing for older women even then!

Woo! Go me! I mean, a best selling crime novelist who was also a murderer. How could I not let @Death Impendswrite about something that interesting?

Ah did I remember to pick her? She's an on off name for here's who you could have won.

Forum favourite actor (and top bloke) Derek Martin was 90 yesterday.

Superstar Billy Graham from his hospital bed, today. Continues to apparently suffer from heart failure, covid, deafness, an ear infection, a skull infection, kidney failure and ninja attacks but remember to send that money to his Go Fund Me so God can cure him again...
