The kind of pick that would have been DDP gold back in the day before they were banned, but maybe you'll find a use for it elsewhere: a fundraiser for the wife of Hartlepool manager Graeme Lee raised £60,000 after being shared by Crystal Palace fans ahead of the teams' FA Cup fourth-round match. She is currently suffering with a brain tumour.

You know when you are on a British site when you have the following.

 

The inaugural winner of Shed Of The Year, Tony Rogers from Berkshire, won the award back in 2007. 

Back then Tony was 61 from local reports so he'd have been 75/76 when he died.

 

Pictures etc of his Roman Temple themed shed here: https://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?shareshed=667

Alphonse Williams, 21, died by suicide earlier this month. His mother, Sabrina Williams, who is Richard’s daughter from his first marriage (and estranged from Richard and her half sisters), (and therefore nephew to Sarena and Venus Williams) told the UK’s The Sun that the manner of death was an overdose on an unknown medication, although his autopsy results haven’t been released yet. 

The 57-year-old revealed that a day before his death, Alphonse confided in his dad about his battle with depression. One of the sources of his depression was apparently a recent painful diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease.

Unironically I’ve posted her obit taken from The Sun.

Larry Holley's (Buddy Holly's older brother) son now saying on twitter that he's "doing pretty well now for his age" according to his doctor. 96, suffering from congestive heart failure and had a near-fatal bout of pneumonia in november.

Apparently Larry Holley has been hospitalised again, his son wasn't very optimistic this time. But that was a week ago, and seems like he was improving two days ago.

Vanna White (Wheel of Fortune) announced her father has passed away at the age of 96.  Nowhere in the brief announcement she posted on Twitter does she say his name.  Guess it’s not important.
