Texas still exists? And tours? And do we have Glasgow day today?

Lata Mangeshkar suffers from food poisoning ... at 88: https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/lata-mangeshkar-misses-meeting-with-amit-shah-1252679-2018-06-07

Maria Bueno, former no. 1, not doing so bueno at the moment: https://www.sport24.co.za/Tennis/WTATour/former-tennis-no-1-maria-bueno-hospitalised-with-cancer-20180606

Hospitalised for knee surgery: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6464909/diego-maradona-hospital-surgery-world-cup/ Currently chairman of the board of Belarussian club Dynamo Brest. I had no idea...

I have 6 hits now, hmm.... didn't realize that NIKE executive Ted Winn died on March 30th.

Down a sub and nr. 9

Hmm, Woodward to go first, then Smith, then Minelli, then de Havilland.

Stringfellow had liver cancer once, which is why he was on my shortlonglist. My last check-up on him (news, not medical) didn't reveal anything new though. After a drought in the past week, my longlist lost about 8 people in the last two days... Stringfellow, Johnson, Maren, Schoendienst, Wilson, Brian Browne, C. M. Newton, Mansur Nuriddin and, from my very rudimentary "minor names" list, Fu Da-Ren.

Hmm, "has been issues a sell-by date". I seem to remember that she didn't want to know it. "options are running out"... I think she has tried a bit more professional medicine than she said she would.

Cult guitarist from down under Spencer P Jones now in palliative care from liver cancer: http://themusic.com.au/news/all/2018/06/06/spencer-p-jones-diagnosed-with-inoperable-liver-cancer/ Has been on my Generation Game team for ages, without news.

Not earth-shattering but ManCity player of the 60s and 70s Mike Summerbee has had prostate cancer: https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2018/05/28/sir-geoff-hurst-optimistic-england-will-have-a-world-cup-to-remember/

Kind of tempting to create a poll about who'll be the last living head of state of the 70s. Jimmy Carter or Third-World-Dictator XYZ.

In our company we've had 3 Alexanders and two Matthias's (Matthews). One of the Alexanders has changed the company and one of the Matthias's died three weeks ago. Had to restrain myself from telling the other one "You've made it!"

Yes, I was looking for it in the scoreboard- didn't find it, then had to go to the whole team listing. A real surprise. I think there are close to 10 people on there about whom I think "1 year too early".

Definitely Dinklage, in terms of sheer fame. But in terms of - who should deadpoolers look up? Possibly Felix Silla, aka Cousin Itt? Edit: From Wikipedia "He also played an Ewok in the film Return of the Jedi". Nailed-on obit.

Aren't you a really weird person if you're a darts player and don't have a heart attack around age 60?

Glad msc at least picked her somewhere. By the way, the current "B-team scoreboard" (not counting GUN's two A-teams) 1. Bobby Zarin's Mack The Knifed 52 2. Here's who you could have won 51 (two obits waiting, or never coming) 3. The B-Team 50 (two obits waiting, or never coming)

Yes, she could have just posted that third picture with the puppy and the arm.

So, how does Melania look now? Oh yeah, new conspiracy theory: She's been Avril Lavigne'd.

Ugh... not sure posting this photo was a good idea... And I'm meaning Lindsay, not you, Joey.

From now on, an irresistible pick for me.

I noticed more empty shops in my street, too. They can't all be filled with barbers and kebab shops. I wonder if there is a retail industry crash coming - well... I guess it has been happening for years, with the internet and all, but there must be a similar collapse of rental and housing prices.

It seems to me that the older you are when diagnosed, the faster it moves.

She's set to re-appear on Monday (today? next week?) http://www.newsweek.com/melania-trump-make-first-appearance-weeks-you-wont-be-allowed-see-it-956467 The public may not attend.

The arms are so thin... I think organ failure is not that far away...
