Generation Game in Pictures: This was me when that started: This is me now: And when the game finishes:

John D. Rockefeller made his last business on this day 80 years ago, aged 97.

So he's not eligible then.

Cheers LFN

Langston Hughes died this day 50 years ago -- like Constantine the Great, age 65.

Margaret Rutherford stopped acting on this day 45 years ago, aged 80.

Thinking of going to Hastings soon.Figured I need to do something impulsive and there is a certain lady down there I want to see so might have a road trip.

He has pre deceased the Welsh labour party by 3 weeks no doubt...

TICK TOCK about TIME for an update. 4 hits of note. Robert M. Pirisig died some TIME ago now. 25 Points for Joey Russ, plus 10 more for a unique bonus. Then it was Mbah Gotho calling TIME. Including unique bonus points 49 points are given out. Bibliogryphon weaselled out a few points for Geoffrey Bayldon. 50 basics plus 20 bonus for uniqueness, however the show must have contained a bit of Morris Dancing so watch out for more. Three players gain points from the death of a very nasty piece of work. Not before TIME. Pedro67 makes a killing - 45 points. Young Willz buries 30.2 points and Tick Tock digs up 15.1 points. 12th leader board is... 1st - 229.1 points - RadGuy 2nd - 196.1 points - Maryport 3rd - 173.8 points - msc 4th - 170.2 points - Captain Chorizo 5th - 157.2 points - Pedro67 6th - 130.8 points - Drol 7th - 130.5 points - Toast 8th - 121.8 points - Bibliogryphon 9th - 95.2 points - gcreptile 10th - 88.2points - Rotten Ali 11th - 86.4 points - Joey Russ 12th - 82.2 points - Book 13th - 75.7 points - DeathImpends 14th - 75.2 points - DDT 15th - 73.6 points - Properina 16th - 65 points - Morbid Kid 17th - 51.1 points - The Dead Cow 18th - 50.5 points - I'mNotHades 19th - 50.2 points - LFN 20th - 48.2 points - time 21st - 33.4 points - Young Willz 22nd - 28.2 points - Deathers 23rd - 17.3 points - Tick Tock 24th - 11 points - Jiroemon Kimura 25th - 0.7 points - The Unknown Man 26th - 0.2 points - Uschi

This is why I think he's a good pick. He clearly got health issues, and the government is probably expecting him to die before he's able to abdicate.

I've seen users actually win the DDP and be less self-congratulatory than this. Personally I find it funny when people joker someone who doesn't obit. Just sayin'.

The BBC isn't what it was.

Yeah he doesn`t look great but I think that is a bad angle.Yes he is frail but is as fit as most 80 odd year old men.If I am as mobile as him a month shy of 96 I would be happy.

Sadly his finest moment isn't recorded. Princess Elizabeth brings Philip up to Balmoral to meet her dad for the first time. Entire room full of court hangers-on. Here comes George VI in full kilt. Philip sees him, and curtseys to the King.

Anyone who has an inordinate amount more free time than me and wants to get into election mode, should probably consider watching some re-runs. Here's the link to them all seen as the 1997 twentieth anniversary one had to be pulled from the BBC Parliament due to the election being called. And with 16 general elections now having been broadcast you can pick one to make you cry or dance on the ceiling (1997 or 1979 depending on your outlook, perhaps?) Some of these are a tad incomplete, others are there in the entirety. They'll all no doubt be repeated on BBC Parliament at some point. 1955 election - Eden's Conservatives returned Note:only 3 hours exist 1959 election - MacMillan's Conservatives returned 1964 election - Wilson's Labour elected 1966 election - Wilson's Labour returned 1970 election - Heath's Conservatives elected February 1974 election - Hung Parliament - Wilson's Labour minority government October 1974 election - Wilson's Labour gains majority 1979 election - Thatcher's Conservatives elected 1983 election - Thatcher's Conservatives returned 1987 election - Thatcher's Conservatives returned 1992 election - Major's Conservatives 1997 election - Blair's Labour elected 2001 election - Blair's Labour returned 2005 election - Blairs Labour returned 2010 election - Hung Parliament Conservative-Lib Dem Coalition government 2015 election - Cameron's Conservatives elected I'll endeavour to plough through these at some point in the future.

Dunno what you're talking about, can't wait until Gooseberry completes his list of every single woman alive between the ages of 60 and 85.

He's retiring to spend more time with his invasion fleet.

No, it won't even reach the Billboard top 100, I think.

From the Comments below the Telegraph obituary for Colin Dexter:

It's the losing the ability to breath which is usually the kicker.

Also known as Dr Zorders. No, I don't think he's been anywhere near the usual destination of a tampon since the day of his birth.

I see your sense of humour bypass operation was a success. Let me know what (sensible) tagline you want.

Lol, he did as well.
