I’ve heard about him Den, strange hobby.
There’s a singer here in the UK called Chris Farlowe who had a hit in the 60s called Out OF Time, at the similar time he was a dealer in Nazi war memorabilia. Has an extra bit of weirdness to it as the war was barely 20 years over and very fresh in everyone’s memory what the Nazis had done.

Tina Turner RIP

Another Icon gone, I had the pleasure of seeing her live, an entertainer through and through, one of the best concerts I’ve been to. So full of energy, so sexy even in middle age. Thank you Tina.

There's just no way to spin that.

That's why for us blokes get yourselves checked.
I had my blood test done Saturday morning which was my choice after visiting my Doctor on Monday could have had it done that day but Ms French came with me.
Got my results by email at 4pm the same afternoon not just PSA but everything very thorough indeed.
I was very grateful and pleased to know I'm perfectly healthy too.
Get yourselves tested.

Trevor Francis was subsequently sold from Forest to a small team call Manchester City after his two European Cup wins. They went on to greater things like... relegation.

67, 69, this is not very good.

With UK excess deaths running over 9% higher than a five year average (and nobody asking why), you do have to expect that more famous people will die than in a normal year.

Seems the reason nobody is asking why deaths are so high is because our wonderful media aren't reporting it, and Parliament refuses to debate it.

Funny that.

9% is material! I assume much is down to late cancer diagnosis through the pandemic and the subsequent waitlists? I wonder if the ongoing unhealthy diet and expanding (pun intended) obesity issue is impacting too? How do we compare with the other Western nations. Last time I saw data on Russia it was continuing to decline due to alcoholism but I guess there is another reason this past year!

 

[rhubarbe]

From what I have seen these rates are repeated throughout the world.

The deaths are principally cardiovascular, particularly myocardial related. Lung disease also but not cancer. Obesity continues to increase worldwide but these excess death figures are repeated in countries where obesity is comparatively low.

The only thing that universal and worldwide that could be causal here is the V word, but nobody is allowed to mention that.
