The Scottish comedian Janey Godley died last night:
I’m not sure how well she is known outside of Scotland but she has appeared on programmes like Have I Got News For You as a panellist.

I think i first became aware of her from her tweets on Brexit.
What legend. RIP Quincy Jones, thank you for the wonderful music you gave us.
I bought my first ever vinyl single record with my weekly pocket money and it was Quincy Jone’s Ai No Corrida song. I still have it somewhere.
RIP Janey Godley, you were comedy genius. Brave lady to the end.
Posted three posts above yours.

RIP Pia
The actor Tony Todd has died. Probably best known from the Candyman and Final Destination horror franchises but appearing often as a voice actor, and what a voice he had.
RIP to the oldest man in the world:
"The former accountant was born on 26 August 1912…20 years after the founding of the football team he followed all his life, Liverpool FC, meaning he lived through all eight of his club’s FA Cup wins and 17 of their 19 league title wins.
Does this mean @cynicaloldgit is now our oldest fan?
No. He’s been our oldest fan all this time.
You have no idea how ancient he is.
