I've only just found this thread so a late response, but... I agree that "noteworthy" is MUCH better than the C word, but it would be great if rather than just a name we could include some info about who they were, will save an awful lot of googling smile
Indeed,

I had to google All Black, I thought it was racial slur, but it's a football team from Australia.

Are you sure? I always thought the All Blacks were the New Zealand national rugby union team and the black referred to the colour of their kit, have seen them play a few times - Jordie won't be happy wink

Do you go for catch and release or do you kill the ones you catch?

Dabney Coleman (92)



One of those actors who never felt like he was acting. Rocked up as a background piece of furniture but often stole the scene he was in.

Made almost everything he was in that little bit better.

The Parrot’s not required? I better let our branch in Bolton know.

Frank Ifield - a very popular singer in the UK throughout the 1960s. His style of singing was eclipsed by the new "rock" groups like The Beatles and The Stones but he remained popular amongst the "older set" for a long time.

Well, there's a big one the news, but that's being discussed in NP&E. Until there's another worth noting, we have to make do with jokes about a popular '60s yodeler. smile
