Once Prince Phil dies The Queen is going to hook up with Sir David and they will go and live on the Galapagos Islands until the sun rises in the West.

Ben Daglish, one of the greatest game composers of the 1980s, has died suddenly at 52. Most famously did the soundtrack for "The Last Ninja" on the C64. But what's more important is that this is yet another retro-gaming obit picked up by the Metro, so it seems like any of the big names of the 1980s home computing era are in play for the DDP.

The only time a living centenarian's been dropped from the DeathList was Ruby Muhammad, a complete nonentity whose inclusion was a flukey decision to begin with. Livvie and the rest of the current 100 club are only leaving DL via coffin.

I believe Prophet has Escheverria this round.

WHO BANKRUPTED THIS???

Juan Romero, the hotel busboy who aided a mortally wounded Robert Kennedy, has died. He was 68. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/juan-romero-busboy-who-aided-wounded-robert-kennedy-dies-68-n916751?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma

For National Poetry day, I'd like to profess my love for the Haiku. The art of 5-7-5 syllables is harder than it sounds. Or, as John Cooper Clarke once put it: To freeze the moment In seventeen syllables Is very diffic

The government denies that Duterte has been in hospital: https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1767552/Manila/Palace-shoots-down-rumors-about-President-Rodrigo-Duterte-being-in-hospital Then the man himself admits it: https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1767606/Manila/Local-News/After-Palace-denial-Duterte-admits-going-to-hospital But it's nothing serious and he will definitely announce any serious illness.

Unilad goes into administration owing £6 million. The fact that it is the second-largest publisher in terms of Facebook traffic is scary. The fact that the #1 publisher, LadBible, was set up by exactly the same person is even worse.

Don't tell Mugabe

Racist.

Suppose so. Seems healthy presently. And is immortal.

Dont frighten us like that!

He could - like - test that volume on the big bollock by knocking one or two out - if it deflates then...happy days!! I'm pretty sure my dad told me the man used to knock them out at will in his 70s heyday

His oldest child - the aforementioned Conscientious Objector - was born in 1922. If not for those German POWs risking their life, my entire branch of the family tree wouldn't exist. Funny thing, perspective!

I wonder if She is the one In that other poem Who says "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple".

IIRC, when I did the list of names who were on the list but died off it, there were only 3 other names who were 96 and older but weren’t on the list who died. I feel like once you reached that age, you’re on the list till the day you die...

That one ages me ^^^^ doesn’t seem 20 years at all, more like half that

My Great Uncle was born in July 1926 and was too young too fight.In Britain conscription age was 19.Another Great Uncle of mine born in January 1925 said he was 3 years older and was accepted into the navy at 16.

If only there were some sort of image search function on the internet this would be so easy.

Pik Botha has been in hospital recently: https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/apartheid-era-minister-pik-botha-admitted-to-hospital-20180927 Edit: Still a good prediction from MPFC.

The final act for Roddy McDowall on this day 20 years ago, aged 70.

You realise by doing this you're effectively offering yourself up as DDP gamerunner from 2020 right?
