I saw tonight, that a little green tab appears in the upper left corner of a person's avatar when they're online.
Is this something new?
Or has it been there all along & I only just noticed it?

Lynsey de Paul (11 June 1950 – 1 October 2014) was an English singer-songwriter. To quote Allmusic journalist Craig Harris: "[O]ne of the first successful female singer-songwriters in England, de Paul has had an illustrious career."

Early song writing
While attending Hornsey College of Art, and wanting to leave home,[4] she started to design album sleeves for artists which required her to listen to the tracks. From income earned from album sleeve design, she got her first flat, where she turned to songwriting.[citation needed]

Three of her earliest songs were co-written with Don Gould and recorded by Oliver! performer Jack Wild: "Takin' It Easy" and "Bring It On Back to Me" from the album Everything's Coming Up Roses, which was released in 1971.[5] Another song co-penned by her, this time with Edward Adamberry, called "E.O.I.O.", was recorded by Wild as a track on his 1972 album A Beautiful World, and also released as a single by The Beads.[6]

After these initial successes, de Paul was contracted to ATV-Kirshner music publishing, located above the Peter Robinson's store on Oxford Street, where she joined a group of professional songwriters that included Barry Blue and Ron Roker, resulting in revenues from songs recorded by other artists from 1971.

Her breakthrough came early in 1972 as the co-writer (with Ron Roker) of the Fortunes' top 10 UK hit "Storm in a Teacup".[7] She was credited as 'L. Rubin' on the record. Around this time, she also had chart success in the Netherlands as the writer of "On the Ride", a Top 30 hit by the Continental Uptight Band.

Deborah Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (31 March 1920 – 24 September 2014)​

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29348946

Her dad, Lord Redesdale, enjoyed hunting his daughters with a pack of bloodhounds
(and you thought I made all that up in The Linkie-Rug? :p)

She married the Duke of Devonshire,
whose nice house Chatsworth is naturally in Derbyshire
(he just owned a lot of Devonshire, and a lot of other shires too)
though it's just a few doors along from Melissa and Julie who are in Yorkshire.

:devil:

Hugely recommend this wonderful book of correspondence between Paddy Leigh-Fermor and Deborah Devonshire... it's fascinating and charming and reminds us of the joy of letter writing in the world before email (there is more name dropping than you could possibly believe!)
