Some dodgy hairstyles amongst that lot, but any dodgy tickers?

 

How Kee and Greaves have outlived Williamson and Morris, I'll never know...

Archbishop Faustino Sainz Muñoz ,75 who served as the Nunico to Great Britian from 2004 until December 2010 is dead after a long illness

 

No UK obits as of yet it appears :ph34r:

 

It'll come, probably not until early next week though. Gonna get just close enough to the title to be annoyed at not getting it this year, I think. Unless Hawke and Jaruzelski come through for me...
