I must be thinking of another Batman too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Seems like Thabo Mbeki died yesterday but not too many major sites reporting it so not sure. https://bnnbreaking.com/politics/thabo-mbeki-former-south-african-president-dies-at-74/ Probably best to assume hoax for now until a better source comes along, especially as they have his age wrong which is a red flag. Obviously no idea if anyone had him anyway. Edited January 3 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2024/jan/03/robert-doisneau-paris-kiss-photograph-francoise-bornet-young-lover-dies Françoise Bornet, the young lover immortalised in the French photographer Robert Doisneau’s The Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville, has died aged 93. If her name was virtually unknown, Bornet’s stance in an embrace with her then boyfriend in central Paris in the spring of 1950 became one of the most famous images of the city. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Brigadier Frank Kitson, who wrote infamous counter-insurgency manuals advocating tactics such as 'counter-gangs' (using terrorist groups against insurgents) and 'pseudo-gangs' (forming fake insurgent groups to entrap activists), and who seemingly put those tactics in place when he ran the British Army in Northern Ireland during the disastrous early years of the Troubles, has died aged 91. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
