Terrible news about Darren

And indeed about Richard and Stephen

(From The Times today)

“ The pollster Joe Twyman tells the War Movie Theatre podcast that the success of the Top Gun sequel in 2022 led to a 27 per cent increase in British children named Maverick. This has been sustained until this year, with the latest numbers showing a fall from last year’s high watermark of 125 to 108. That means there were more Mavericks than there were Brians or Richards or Simons or Philips or Neils or Darrens. In fact, last year there were more Mavericks than there were cumulative Stephens or Stevens. Perhaps we no longer feel the need for Steve.”
