https://www.aol.co.uk/entertainment/award-winning-novelist-kate-saunders-005134356.html Have I got bad news for you !

Slow day for me so I read most of that story, this bit leaped out.... "While his international fame was not on the level of BTS or Blackpink, he's wildly popular at home, Rob Schwartz, an Asia correspondent for Billboard Magazine, told the BBC." I'm going to really up my game if I'm going to be down with the cool kids as I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of BTS and Blackpink. Or to paraphrase.... Me neither.

Woo ! Spoiler alert.

Definitely on the avant garde end of the industry.

Finally fell of her perch then.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't mind Paul O'Grady but Lilly Savage was Scouse and flamboyantly camp. Alright in small doses but this suburbanite found him a bit irritating. Sorry 'her' a bit irritating. I'll be glad when drag queens are out of fashion again to be honest, I'm not sure why in our interesting times that they have managed to stay under the radar for being against 'something' or triggering a section of the community.

I must be thinking of a different Lilly Savage/Paul O'Grady combo then.

Wonder if they'll keep it traditional and go with a black theme.

As long as its not the playground.....

Carlsberg turned that into an ad although if its glasses you're into Holstein Pils were the ones. They did some great ads.

I see your Sylvia Syms and raise you Virginia McKenna Still alive too.

What about this lady ?

Was reading up on him as part of my research, he was the son of a millionaire. Without knowing the full story I can guess he must have been really driven to play football as I assume he wasn't just doing it for the cash.

Aussie Soup Star Dies Don't get too excited, its not the one we're sweating on.

Would probably be a shitload of work but would there be mileage in a themed (second) deadpool. I had half a notion to put in a WW2 list.

Is this the story ??? Nothing suspicious here, no sirree. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/russian-lawmaker-pavel-antov-found-dead-in-a-hotel-in-odisha/article66309669.ece To be fair to the Russians, they've been getting away with this stuff for years and The West has largely turned a blind eye. A sanction here, a stern word there.... The West finally growing a spine must have come as a bit of a shock to them.

If you can pick the right Russians then you'll be sorted. They're dropping like flies but its whether they'll get a qualifying obit. My missus worked with this lad. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9074747/Russian-scientist-falls-death-window-stabbed-latest-mysterious-death.html In Embra not Vladivostok unfortunately. I swerved them as I couldn't decide but if I'd had the stones I'd have gone for Tinkov.

I went with Henry Marsh last year for similar reasons, he's another euthanasia campaigner and had the cancer. Seems backing up his 'dignity in death' chat was just that. To top it all, he seems to have made a full recovery. Bloody tease.

#metoo.

Hi mate, yeah, my online presence is much reduced but gotta do the deadpool. You'll not be happy with one of my picks, Alex Stuart the ex Dee. Pat Liney worked well for me last year so I figured why not...

Team sent, just need to wait and see all the obvious ones I missed when the full list comes out. Good luck everyone.
