I think the same edition had a headline about students' 'first hand job experiences' as well.

Dick Hoyt, 80, instantly recognisable marathon runner, who always pushed his son Rick in his wheelchair when he competed.

Was just going to post same. Maybe he's trying to escape.

Jason Dunn-Shaw, sacked as a judge in 2017 for trolling the comments sections in online news articles about cases he was presiding over, has died aged 57. Bit of a flawed genius, reading between the lines.

I do wonder if this thread potentially identifies those who will go on to experience blood pressure or cardiac problems and those who won't.

I read as many as I can, but having never watched an episode of Star Wars, Dr Who, Coronation Street, etc, I'm less interested in lots of the TV and film stuff. Also, I think I'd been a member of the forum for a few years before I realised Richard O'Sullivan wasn't the person who presented the Crystal Maze.

Happy to pin this thread when @arghton has completed his odyssey

Robin Prytherch, renowned buzzard expert.

A bit late with this one, but Roger Burridge died last November. He was only a member of the band for six months in 1976 and was one of two violinists, alongside Dave Swarbrick. Some serious fiddling talent on display here.

It does appear they have only located her foot. Perhaps this is a cunning ruse and Caddick is still hopping about in the Outback, giving bad financial advice.

Condemned Iranian woman queuing for gallows dies of heart failure after witnessing hanging of sixteen others. Lifeless body strung up anyway.

I can't help wondering what a proper pandemic with a much higher fatality rate than covid would have done for our fragile national psyche. Ten million dead instead of a hundred thousand would put a different complexion on things and traffic congestion might ease as well. Also 2021 is going to be a vintage year for raves.

Weds 1234.

Boxing legend and former heavyweight champ "Smokin" Joe Frazier is suffering from advanced liver cancer.

A real shame. Anne Feeney was just great, a fine songwriter with a keen social conscience, coupled with an ability not to take herself too seriously. Even my children liked one of her songs.

@MadMac I'm pretty sure we already have a thread for this sort of thing and, I am therefore locking this one. Edit - Or I will lock this one when I find the right thread

Nothing to panic about. Lynch was going to announce that he was about to stop doing his daily weather updates, but has changed his mind and will carry on.

David Lynch says he'll be making an announcement tomorrow. There has been some recent speculation that the great man might be ill - although I'm really hoping it's about some sort of Twin Peaks related project. .

Acid House Thursday -1988

Disturbed Ukrainian man rampages through town, carrying the severed head of his father and wearing "the intestines of a friend" around his neck.

I like to keep up with the unidentified body scene in the UK There's actually a very odd case going on in Devon at the moment, which has barely made the news. A suspected teenage male found dead near Torquay in October remains anonymous.

It's going to become known as 'Black Wednesday' ... a titanic total of 1912.

I'd like to suggest the psychiatrist and LSD enthusiast Stanislav Grof who will be 90 this year. He was a contemporary of former DL favourite Albert Hoffman and took his first (of many) trips in 1956. Grof was the subject of a recent documentary, The Way of the Psychonaut. Grof has also written extensively on near death experiences.
