Phantom 2,469 Posted April 21, 2015 Hey we do multiples of 5 here. Even if that were a rule, Elizabeth Sladen would be an exception. I personally switched most of my posts to marking 10th, 15th 20th etc more because I got fed up with doing it most years. Although some I might post in between more as a "bloody hell, time doesn't 'arf fly". But Elizabeth Sladen is an exception to any rule. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although some I might post in between more as a "bloody hell, time doesn't 'arf fly". But Elizabeth Sladen is an exception to any rule. I tried to just announce significant milestones (deathdays as opposed to birthdays) but found there were insufficient significant milestones to make it worthwhile, especially as I tried to not duplicate entries; hence, any anniversary, as long as the deceased is particularly significant, is fair game, even if it means duplication of someone who appeared in previous years. Today is the 97th anniversary of the death of Manfred von Richtofen, WW1 flying ace, The Red Baron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
