arghton 6,715 Posted August 5, 2021 https://www.dn.se/kultur/skadespelaren-ake-lundqvist-dod/ Åke Lundqvist, Swedish actor dead at 85. Appeared in Beck – Mannen med ikonerna as the "mannen med ikonerna". It's been a while since I saw that movie so I can't properly remember what his role was. A very slim man however. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, they're missing a trick here - I'm seeing a one-off Christmas spin-off where all these "retired" characters are living in a care home and at Christmas they do Vee Agg Ara and LSD before the turkey! You could film it in one day on one set - not too big an ask, even for June Brown. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this one is true. Another tweet here from yesterday, from one of her friend’s: Photo must be “fairly” recent. She looks frail in comparison to the 2019 interview with her which is everywhere online. Media just being slow. She’s definitely a name on a New York Times obit level.

arghton 6,715 Posted August 17, 2021 5 hours ago, Joey Russ said: Maki Kaji, known as The Godfather of Sudoku has died at 69 I've heard about him a lot and about his company Nikoli. The modern Sudoku was invented by Howard Garns (1905-1989), American 74-year old freelance puzzle constructor at the time who got his Number Place puzzle in the Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games magazine in 1979. The puzzle called "Number Place" was picked in 1984 by Maki Kaji (1951-2021), Nikoli's founder and President. He made the name "Sudoku" and trademarked it. In 1997 Wayne Gould (1945-) a Hong Kong judge saw a partly completed Sudoku in a Japanese puzzle shop, made a program that creates sudokus, promoted it to The Times in 2004 and after this the popularity spread like wildfire. Gould's the last one of these three and I am pretty sure he will get obituaries everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
