I disagree. Any amount of conspiracy theory would make better reading than more of Trump's tweets.

Can I bagsy the entire Boomer generation once Covid-19 completes its work?

Can you be sure that Mr Hudd was never "had" by a gentleman?

Crikey, Al, NewsBiscuit got this even before Wikipedia.

(RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor. We now have less to laugh about.)

Me & my kids loved the Goodies (on TV & the various Radio spinoffs with the Footlights group)

And yet Timmy Mallett survives. Proof of the non-existence of God.

Tony Allen. Afrobeat percussion innovator and legend. Don't know him? here's an example.

Or anything by Fela Kuti in the 1970s. Like this

Oh no, a sore one - Florian Schneider, founder of Kraftwerk.

Hugely influential chap.

Here they are, taking the pish out of themselves (and critics). RIP sir.

Words like "innovator" and "ahead of their time " are thrown around too easily in pop music. But for Kraftwerk, entirely appropriate.

It's passing of the 70s legends season.

Indeed! Sad loss of a hero from my teenage years. My tribute is here:

Sir Ian Holm - a truly great actor: Alien, Chariots of Fire, the Madness of King George, and, of course, Lord of the Rings.

RIP Bilbo, the Grey Havens call.

Definitely one of the finest actors of the 20th century (loved his Frodo in the Radio version)

Oh yes - I forgot about that - I have the full CD set - marvellous, see if I can remember:

Frodo - Ian Holm
Bilbo - John Le Mesurier
Gandalf - Michael Hordern
Aragon - Robert Stephens
Gollum - Peter Woodthorpe?
Sam Gamgee - Bill Nighy

That's the best I can do from memory - any offers?

Than alone gave her the incentive to live on another five years: "I'll show those bastards at NB".

Could I bagsie all octogenarian celebs? Just, you know, buy a job lot? It would save a lot of effort

It's definitely been a bad year for centenarians - Kirk Douglas, Vera Lynn, Olivia de Havilland.

Seriously, The Duke of Edinburgh isn’t a good option. Phil latterly will get you nowhere.

Could use that in the other thread - the joke's probably even older than the Duke of Edinburgh.
