Adamski Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Reading about his passing sent me down a Rainbow Wikipedia rabbit hole and at the bottom was the best fact I learned today... Turns out that at Jane has been married to Rod AND Freddie. They’re basically the Fleetwood Mac of 80s kids TV. Anyway, RIP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Week 22 update Controversy time! As posted last week, @Ned Nederlander's pick of Abubakar Shekau, leader of Boko Haram, appears to have been killed. I have links from the Telegraph and two others from the Mail and the Express. The problem is, these are only about reports of him being injured last week - there are no follow ups confirming he's dead. Ned's Spectator link isn't really an obituary, it's an account of what's likely to happen to Boko Haram now he's gone. Does this count as an obituary? Also it's worth pointing out that his wikipedia page has him being between the age of 46 and 56 so I'm fucked if I know how many points he's worth. I'm inclined to accept the Spectator link to be honest but I'm not certain. Does anyone have any input? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 The Star offers "reported" and "believed" Boko Haram terrorist leader 'blows himself up' in fight against ISIS group - Daily Star Tell you what, we'll leave it another week and see if anything else pops up. Or if his age is confirmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
