She has an American Yahoo but I’m not sure if it’s works as .uk, Also has an NYT obituary but that hasn’t been picked up anywhere British. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,966 Posted October 24 Yes, the US yahoo link doesnt work. NPR just picked up her death though. That could also work for yahoo. Yahoo seems to be restricting the convertability of the local US obits, but national ones, ESPN, Reuters, etc... still work. I think she'll obit today.

Salmon Mousse 473 Posted October 27 Just noticed (not sure how it took this long) that my Salmon Roe team has the wrong Michael Turner on it. Has the soccerist born in 1983 instead of the Aussie rules footballer born in 1954, as intended. Went back and checked the spreadsheet I sent to make sure I linked the correct wiki page and it is for the second Turner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
