The Dead of 2026

[Gevin Chapwell]

General discussion thread. Put predictions if you want. It seems that Anne, who got stuck in a shop shutter last year, has died. Though it's a weird article, and it's only mentioned in passing.

I never watched it, but James Van Der Beek from Dawson's Creek. We've not had too many this year it seems so far.

[Paul Worsley]

Bud Cort. American actor, aged 77. RIP

I realise that most of you guys are too young to remember his short lived career, but the 1971 film "Harold and Maud", in which he played the titular Harold, a troubled teenager with an obsession with death, became a cult classic. I imagine the BBC or possibly C4 will be showing the film in the next few weeks, and if you like your comedy black, and enjoy life affirming films, the i recommend you give it a go.

Robert Duvall

Jesse Jackson. American politician and civil rights campaigner, 84. RIP

Is that the same as fartlek?

[Gevin Chapwell]

Fartlek is when you're alternating running hard / easy, rather than actually walking.

I was waiting for the correction , but wanted some kudos for posting it well before it was official

[Gevin Chapwell]

Ian Huntley

[Marc Meakin]

Speaking of evil bastards , I was wondering about a sweepstake on how long before another assassination attempt is taken on Trump ?

Chuck Norris
Len Deighton
Ed Bernard from the 1970s TV series Police Woman this now makes Angie Dickinson the only surviving cast member

[Paul Worsley]

Chuck Norris

He actually died 10 years ago, but The Grim Reaper was too afraid to tell him.

[Gevin Chapwell]

Until recently I assumed Chuck Norris was some old singer like Chuck Berry or Chubby Checker. Chevy Chase fell into the same bracket.
