Somewhere @Death Impends is sighing in relief I didn't pick Pamela Salem...

Iirc retired due to struggling with severe cancer.

The stabbing? Given the chap who stabbed him is back in jail (for grooming an underage schoolgirl), and he was notorious for robbing folk at the time, that more struck as Savident picking the wrong rent boy for closeted casual sex.

Actor Mike Grady reporting the death of the sublime Pamela Salem (Never Say Never Again, The Tripods, Remembrance of the Daleks, frankly too many big roles to mention all).

Technically a confidence vote in the house can remove a sitting Speaker but this last happened was around the time of Queen Anne. Michael Martin was removed through the third largest party demanding he resign and a Douglas Carswell EDM but Martin resigned before he was pushed and was already badly wounded by the expenses and Damien Green arrest. If it were to shift the speaker it'd be a long term process. Anyhow I'm not a fan of the current speaker but I'm less a fan of tantrum politics.

Heyyy... No wait, fair point. I knew it was concerning when I saw Willz had a 110club Forum thread...

We had a brick for emergency contact but it became surplus to requirements as every major network around here stopped providing the lower network keeping the signal for the old school phones. Even luddite me had to upgrade to a smartphone.

A shame but not a surprise, he'd been suffering weight related health issues for a while.

Given I'm suffering a severe chest infection sort of hoping Gooseberry doesn't count former DDP co-hosts as massive deaths.

I have just checked and apparently you can see Jessica on UK TV six times a week. Who knew? That Angela Lansbury is on the box more often than Newsnight!

He will be on the TV Baftas. Cribbins was despite all his films. Ncis was bloody huge with pensioners btw over here. Gran loves it. Guess you can't have Jessica Fletcher on tv every day!

I was genuinely surprised and heartened to see how well he was looking given his health issues.

Goal scorer in the famous Battle of Santiago, QO a cert imo. "Let's hope they never face again." No no David, let's hope they draw each other more often. The ref was so upset by Toro and both teams antics that he later invented the red card. True story!

He wants to go, let the poor man go.

Eileen Atkins last I heard was still a regular visitor to her frail best friend Jean Marsh.

Judi Denchs memory still works brilliantly and she's a conversationalist, but going very blind and prone to falls. Her family are keeping more of a closer eye on her these days. Joan Plowright is iirc completely blind. Virginia McKenna looks great for her age. Ditto the great Sian Phillips. Isn't Maggie Smith unwell? There's been rumours for a while and I'm sure someone confirmed it recently, unless my memory cheats? (It frequently does!)

Gave me a turn, there, with this thread being updated.

Source? A reminder you are not a parent.

Yeah, though apparently controversially. Allegedly it was decided to have her on the 2002 DL only after that decision several drinks were drunk and they forgot to add her to the list. At least that was the gist of a Cmme argument on here years ago.

Because he's already been moved to the memorial page. https://www.genarians.com/in-memoriam-current.html

Robert Wyatt in declining health and with rapidly diminished memory, sadly.

One of the debates among the forum wrestling nerds a few years ago were if 80s nutter Billy Jack Haynes would obit. Well he's not dead for now but I'd say 100% an qo name now after he's lived up to his reputation of maybe killing someone in the past by definitely killing his wife in a botched murder suicide.

That's my oldies team. So here's hoping!

She pretty much makes the one she's a villain in watchable all by herself.

I feel a bit better then, as a political nerd I'd never heard of her either!
