Josip Manolić (wiki) dead at 104.

About time this 87-year-old Hollywood icon gets his own thread, especially with his consistent absences in public nowadays, sparking speculation about the state of his health. Doubt he'll see 90. One to keep on the DL's radar.

Now I'm tempted to post here a million times a day.

Josip Manolić is a hit for @Commtech Sio Bibble, @wannamaker, @The Daredevil, @drol, @Bibliogryphon, @Summer in Transylvania, @Insane, @theoldlady, @diego, @DoorSlammer, @gcreptile, @msc, @LizLemon, @MortalCaso, @Book, @Funeralopolis and @MariNisia CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Josip "Joza" Manolic was the last one of the original state leaders, and that means the game has now ended. It's been almost seven years and we saw them falling one by one: Bush snr, General Anh, Mugabe, Tun Tin, Kim Yong-ju, Echeverria, The Queen, Comrade Jiang, Benedict XVI, Napolitano and finally Manolic. Scoring with the likes of legendary Burmese PM Tun Tin, @TQR has won the game with 8 hits!!! Congrats, well done ! I'll evaluate if a new game should be started, but I won't likely live to see the end of it!

Josip Manolic (1920-2024) "He is in very good health but can't currently be interviewed because he is in a coma" (Josip's family updates his status) "Joža Manolić je nadživio Joža Manolić" Age at death: 104 Known health issues: Severe COVID pneumonia in 2021, bedridden and received last rites in 2023. Cause of death: So sudden and unexpected he may have been murdered. Alignment: Resistance fighter during WWII, he was a controversial communist agent after the war, and took part in imprisoning archbishop Stepinac and putting him on a communist show trial. In the 90s he was seen as a moderate opposing ultranationalists. He was perceived by Croatians as the Ultimate Immortal, a bit like JP Enrile in the Philippines and Jimmy Carter in the Milky Way.

Sorry.

Hunt "forgot" he owned 7 luxury flats Zahawi made a £4m tax "error" Johnson was "gifted" holidays & house redecoration Jenrick "helped" reduce his mate's tax bill Hancock "arranged" a mate's PPE contract despite him having no experience Gove transferred council assets to a private company Sunak's family benefited millions from Government contracts Sunak’s wife saved £20m being a non dom Houchen "sold" £100m of Freeport land for £100 Mone grifted £200m on useless PPE Ashcroft holds £100m in offshore trusts Taxpayers pay the fines, legal costs, rent & fuel bills for Tory MPs ARREST ANGELA RAYNER FOR THAT GRAND AND A HALF SHE MIGHT OWE FROM A DECADE AGO

Because he dreams of Jimmy licking him all over.

@The Old Crem I have hidden your most recent post as, yet again, you have chosen to regurgitate a tweet and plaster it here with no context whatsoever. The tweet has no information about Sharon Osborne's health and you haven't even bothered to type anything which may indicate why it might be interesting. If you want to have another go, you're welcome. You seriously need to work on your quality control though!

Eleanor Coppola, wife of Francis Ford Coppola and mother of Sofia Coppola, has died aged 87. She was also the sister-in-law of Talia Shire and aunt by alliance of Nicolas Cage.

I assumed Francis Ford Coppola had his own thread for years. He's 85 years old and directed some of the most iconic films ever made.

It would be a bit silly (but this is Rishi we're talking about, so not entirely implausible) if he didn't. "Mr. Sunak, when is the election going to be?" "Oh, it was last week, I'm just not announcing it yet."

Mango of all people facepalming this, really!?

Robert MacNeil of The MacNeil/Lehrer Report dead at 93.

Frank Olson, Executive Who Linked O.J. Simpson With Hertz, Dies at 91

It might be of interest here to say that after Prince Richard dies, the Dukedom of Gloucester will cease to be Royal. After two generations they lose their Royal status. Richard's father Henry was a son of a monarch (George V) and Richard a grandson and first cousin of a monarch. After this the relationship of the Duke becomes too distant from the Crown. The same will apply to Kent when Prince Edward, the current Duke of Kent, dies. This is why Edinburgh was changed to a life peerage - to prevent the Dukedom going out of the immediate family.

Various reports that Rico Wade, one-third of the production team Organized Noize behind various artists including Outkast and the cousin of rapper Future, has died: Co-wrote Waterfalls for TLC. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2728302/

The top song just happens to be your least favourite, again, and one of the bottom songs just happens to be your favourite, again? No. I don't buy that for a second. It's beyond coincidence now. Play the game properly or get minus sixed the fuck out of here.
