To be fair, I didn't tell anyone to look at it.

There's a A transit of Mercury today when the planet Mercury passes directly between the Sun and the Earth, becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Mercury appears as a tiny black dot moving across the disk of the Sun. Mercury will begin to creep onto the sun's disk at 1235hrs GMT and it will take about 5 hour and 28 minutes to make its way across, with the transit ending at 1804hrs GMT. The next transit will be on 13th November 2032.

Duchess of Cornwall has been told by her doctor to cancel her engagements as she has a chest infection which has got progressively worse over the last few days. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7659977/Duchess-Cornwall-cancels-Westminster-Abbey-remembrance-visit.html

He'll carry on behind.

Labour could put a member of the KKK up for the election and still take the seat. The council is made up of 54 councillors (53 Labour and one Liberal Democrat) across 21 wards. The poshest part of Leicester is Stoneygate (Gary Lineker lived there whilst he played for Leicester) and they returned three Labour Councillors at the last election whilst kicking out the incumbent ceremonial mayor who was the only Tory on the council. I remember when Vaz's story broke, BBC East Midlands Today went looking for vox pops amongst the public and were hard pushed to find anyone willing to criticise him.

To commemorate the final flight of El-Al Israeli Airlines' Boeing 747, she's drawing a picture over the Mediterranean Sea. https://www.flightradar24.com/ELY1747/22b566bf EDIT: Landed.

@Paul Bearer I think TPB means when posting on a thread, you get all the options: However, when you go to enter a signature, you get fewer options: @ThePrematureBurial If you use something like Microsoft Word or the reply to this topic on any thread, you can copy and paste it into your signature. Obviously, if you use the latter, don't click on Submit Reply, just erase what you've written and exit the thread.

The Tim Curry thread perhaps?

George Alagiah as seen reading the news the other day. Bill Turnbull was recently photographed by Mark Johnson for the front cover of this week's Radio Times.

She's on her way to pick you up and she's expected to land 15 minutes ahead of schedule. https://www.flightradar24.com/RYR973H/2282e4a8

A drunken bust up with his ex-girlfriend last year and now a conviction for being drunk whilst driving. Does he have a drink problem? I don't know. Perhaps we should lock the Gazza thread to stop people posting he's drunk again. After all, no one has ever died prematurely through alcohol abuse, have they?

George Gilbey has been gaoled for three months for drink-driving. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7567557/Gogglebox-star-George-Gilbey-jailed-three-months-drink-driving.html

Didn't she come on stage at the start of a concert in Glasgow (?) and shout "Hello England"?

Entering just the word 'sudden' and selecting 'content titles only' gives results in only two threads including this one, so it's bugger all to do with exclamation marks.

Franklin Pierce was pointless.

We already have a thread titled Sudden Death. We don't need another one. https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/2825-sudden-death/

This would have been better placed in the Tim Curry thread.

It's a safe bet he was born in January 1923. The government's General Records Office list an entry registered in Sedgefield, just down the road from Chilton. The Ancestry tree is most likely someone put two and two together during their research and came up with five. There was a John Vitty born in Gateshead in 1926 who probably died in 2001. Our guy is very much alive in 2016. The Chronical editorial age is just a copy and paste error; I found a rehash of the story dated a year later and he was still 72.

Ludovic Kennedy was the next to croak on ‎18th October 2009. Who were the winners?

Jiang Zemin turned up.
