If she was true to her roots surely this should be called Fight for This Pet......

There is this but it is still in French

I am not denying that it has happened but there needs to be a consistent level of proof applied to all hits a news article or obituary about their death in English The Royal Forum is just a discussion group in the same way this site is and I hope that no-one cites Deathlist.net as confirmation of anyone's demise

@diego The death notice is in French and therefore not admissible as evidence according to the rules on page 1. If suitable notification comes to light before another death is announced then I will allow this as there was no evidence of her death circulating prior to the current round starting and she has been a long term pick

The poster on the Royalty forum has no more authority or expertise than a user on this forum. In addition if she did die on 13th then she would have been dead before the round started. I can find no corroboration on news sites or social media

That links to an article about Jane Birkin

When I watched Death on the Nile I was constantly comparing it to the Ustinov version and it did not really match up bit I thought my judgement was clouded. I was unfamiliar with the source material for this one so thought it a better marker to judge by. I think a lot of the issues are down to dear old Agatha but it is overdone from a directorial point of view

Just been to see A Haunting in Venice which led Mrs B to declare that I am no longer to be trusted to pick films and she is never going to see another bloody Kenneth Branagh film ever again

Statement from Huddersfield Town It is being portrayed as something that has always been on the cards, waiting till HTFC found the right long term appointment but he signed a 1 year contract in May so I am wondering whether the less than impressive start to the season from the Terriers has focused the decision making process (as it were)

Not quite sure where this development for Colin at Huddersfield Town fits in this game

This is a very female dominated list now.
