Vinegar Tits

Yeah, half-siblings. Famously was partially the inspiration for the lead in The Little Drummer Girl, which she auditioned for and, err, didn't get.

Blummin' double post...

Clive Merrison on Twitter has reported the death of actress Charlotte Cornwell, best known as Anna in 'Rock Follies', and also the sister of recently-deceased John Le Carre. Really sad news - she was fab in 'Rock Follies'.

Love her, cannot stand her voice - even on 'As Tears Go By'. And although she states in the Guardian article that doesn't like being thought of as a muse, I've always thought her and Jane Birkin ought to do a double-header gig. It would be a wonderful evening. Also, Marianne as 'God' in Ab Fab is the greatest piece of casting ever imho.

Mark Keds of the Senseless Things dead. Doesn't give a reason but he was a massive smackhead back in the day and for a long time afterwards.

Oops, wrong thread

I met him once when Red House Painters played Leeds Duchess Of York. He was a right miserable git.

Anyone pick Nancy Pelosi for 2021? She's unfortunately probably as much of a walking target as Ghislaine Maxwell. Anyway, I'm with The Fonz

Purely by coincidence I was listening to Neil Young's 'Living With War' album when all this kicked off. 'Let's Impeach The President' seemed prescient.

She used to smoke like a chimney (I helped film the opening of the library named after her when I was at Dewsbury College in the early 90s so was around her - she was brilliant btw - and witnessed it), but don't know if that's still the case.

I know. It should be the other way round.

He's not saved anyone. The money he raised went to NHS Charities Together, not directly to the NHS. A very worthy cause, and at least it's a legitimate charity, the money may go towards making waiting areas nicer and that sort of thing, but it's not going to pay for a MRI scanner or extra ICU nurses.

They're made of stern stuff in Dewsbury. Unless she gets ill/has a fall then Betty's going nowhere. I wish she was still Speaker - she'd have knocked some sense into Johnson by now.

Jodie's ace (though not Ace, obviously), but Chibnall can go do one.

Peston and Kuenssberg don't know the meaning of the word 'spoilers', do they? Tsk...
