Kane Tanaka 02 Jan 1903 Lives in Fukuoka, Japan Oldest living person, 20th oldest ever One of the most remarkable Oldest Person titleholders for some time. She can walk at the pace of a young person, tell jokes, sing, participate in press conferences, solve maths questions, play Othello, fold clothes and do the Japanese favourite - hand dancing. She's going to be around for a while. Maria-Giuseppa Robucci-Nargiso (Nonna Peppa for short) 20 Mar 1903 Lives in Apulia, Italy Oldest living European, 2nd oldest living person, 22nd oldest ever The title of Oldest in Europe is traditionally a QO shoo-in, but sadly this didn't happen for her predecessor Giuseppina Projetto. She's a very happy person who still makes public appearances, but there seems to have been a slight decline in her health. Shimoe Akiyama 19 May 1903 Lives in Nagoya, Japan 3rd oldest living, 28th oldest ever No photo, no nothing. This may change if she one day becomes the oldest person in Japan, but Tanaka is making that more unlikely with every passing day. Magdalena Oliver Gabarró 31 Oct 1903 Lives in Barcelona, Spain Oldest Spaniard, would-be 42nd oldest ever Unverified. It has been hinted on the 110 Club that her potential verification is imminent. She looked well the last time she was pictured, but that was 2 years ago. Annalise or Annelise 03 Dec 1903 Lives in Nanuet, USA Challenger to title of oldest American The fact that we don't even know the spelling of this woman's first name should tell you all you need to know. However, she might be the oldest American. Lucile Randon (Soeur Andre) 11 Feb 1904 Lives in Toulon, France Oldest Frenchie, 4th oldest living, 52nd oldest ever, oldest nun The real oldest nun, as pointed out after Sister Cecylia died. Confusingly, the oldest nun ever was Sister Cecilia (1902-2017). Soeur Andre may take this title in June. Shin Matsushita 30 Mar 1904 Lives in Sendai, Japan 5th oldest living, 62nd oldest ever, oldest person to outlive a pet Yes, this dog is dead. To be honest, Shin has appeared downbeat since this happened, and what's the point in going on if you're 114 and you just lost your dog? Gabrielle Valentine des Robert 04 Jun 1904 Lives in Nantes, France 6th oldest living, 86th oldest ever She is living proof that fat people aren't destined to die young. Isn't in the best of shape, mind you. Lessie Brown 22 Sep 1904 Lives in Cleveland, USA 7th oldest living, Believed to be oldest American Though her family adore her, I struggle to believe you can enjoy life in such poor condition. Jeanne Bot 14 Jan 1905 Lives in Perpignan, France 8th oldest living When I first heard about this woman a few months ago, I thought she was an android designed to shut down at the age of 122. It appears not. She is very healthy and can still walk around her own home. Shigeyo Nakachi 01 Feb 1905 Lives in Saga, Japan 9th oldest living Winner of "sunniest old person in the world". Never seen without a big smile on her face. She is almost profoundly deaf and communicates by reading off a tablet and shouting her response. Haruno Yamashita 19 Feb 1905 Lives in Kurume, Japan 10th oldest living A mystery. Ellen "Dolly" Gibb 26 Apr 1905 Lives in North Bay, Canada Oldest Canadian Some photos of her are quite unflattering, but she is holding up well. Alelia Murphy 06 Jul 1905 Lives in Harlem, USA 2nd oldest American Has been mentioned before as she defied death by coming back from the dreaded Limbo. She may or may not be next in line to the Oldest American throne. That Party City tiara does not reflect this title. Masazō Nonaka 25 Jul 1905 Lives in Ashoro, Japan Oldest man, 14th oldest man ever Old boy is enjoying his 10+ month reign as Oldest Man but is noticeably frail. Iris Westman 28 Aug 1905 Lives in Grand Forks, USA Oldest highly educated person She graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1928 and went on to teach. Maybe if she gets old enough then some tabloids will pick up on this. Gustav Gerneth 15 Oct 1905? Lives in Havelberg, Germany Would-be 2nd oldest man, 16th oldest man ever, oldest German person ever A recent picture (which won't upload) doesn't say good things about his physical health. He is looking forward to his 114th birthday in October 2019, but doubts have been cast on his claimed age. Beware. Kura Bingo 20 Oct 1905 Lives in Soni, Japan Not really famous, but what a moniker! House, anyone? Richard Overton 11 May 1906 Lives in Austin, USA 2nd oldest man, 23rd oldest man ever, oldest American man, oldest Allied veteran Has now survived pneumonia an incredible 5 times! He has been noticeably quiet in an ominous way for a few months. I love the man, but it might all be Over soon... Tekla Juniewicz 10 Jun 1906 Lives in Gliwice, Poland Oldest Pole ever The first Polish person to ever live to 112. Here she is with Waclaw, a GRG/110 Club admin. Mazie Ford 28 Jun 1906 Lives in Hollywood (that's Florida), USA Oldest volunteer She dresses herself, does her wig and makeup, knits babies' hats and takes them to her local hospital almost every day! She's amazing for her age! Grace Catherine Jones 16 Sep 1906 Lives in Broadway (that's Worcestershire), UK Oldest Brit, 3rd oldest Grace Jones ever No, wrong one... Not that one, she died in 2006... Close but not her either, she's dead anol... That's our wummin! She is lovely and is able to give long interviews. 3Sri Shivakumara Swami(ji/galu) 01 Apr 1907? Lives in Tumkur, India Where's a bullshit button when you need one? His age is NOT accurate. Yet his ability to bounce back from multiple hospitalisations is superb. After a fifth hospitalisation for the same ailment, he's tied with Richard Overton. Qin Hanzhang 19 Feb 1908? Lives in Beijing, China Oldest notable person Although the chances of a Chinese person being verified are low, we can pretty much confirm that he's as old as he claims. He is known for developing methods for producing wine. I would like to think that he is partly responsible for grape stomping, which inspired my 2nd favourite news blooper. Alf Smith and Bob Weighton 29 Mar 1908 Live in St Madoes and Alton, UK Joint oldest British men Alf is the first supercentenarian Scotsman It's no secret that Alf isn't doing as well as Bob (I believe he had a stroke a few years ago) but I wish both of them well. Cecilia Seghizzi 05 Sep 1908 Lives in Gorizia, Italy Oldest notable woman Known for being an artist and composer. The Guardian would like her. Anyway, she is doing great. Dr. Robert Wiener 27 Oct 1908 Lives in Montreal, Canada Oldest Canadian man, one half of oldest brothers ever, oldest doctor Pathologist whose older brother David fell just shy of 110. He still rides his exercise bike daily and works very closely with his doctor to improve his health. He's quite charming and he's not ready to slow down yet. Agnes Kluckhenn 01 Apr 1909 Lives in unknown location in Australia Oldest Aussie Does this woman even exist? I'm not convinced. At just 109 she's a youngster compared to others, but you know what they say about Australians and Mail obits.

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.

Interestingly, taking the 'no more' option out of the equation, Leah's topped the guess list again. That's the 9th time this year. Clearly, once you go Bracknell, you never go Backnell.

Ha! Reminds me of an old advert we had for a local appliance store chain SE Michigan. Let me take you back to the 1970s. Enjoy!

Fair enough, must be remembering it as more last minute entries than there actually was or people have got better the past few years. Probably a bit of both. Either way we're still too busy with real life and preparing the deadpool masterlists to steal picks. And to be honest, anybody has the ability to start a deadpool if they're able to come up with half decent ideas (or you can just borrow one when one of the regular hosts has a meltdown )so it's not an unfair advantage in anyway even if someone was; and it seems from the replies above we all operate from the same code of common decency and respect. Plus Hares is a bit different in that there's many opportunities to do well with risking picks you'd think twice about putting on a DDP team anyway.

I Was A Twinkle In My Father's Eye. That's a figure of speech, please don't put Clorox in your eyes.

Been away in London , but the BBC obit from Jon Sopel was wrong. Bush Senior was the last American Cold War leader to die. What about Carter. Sums up the BBC...

Although it’s not technically a competition, there’s also the Crowdsource List as well, in which you submit anywhere from 20 to 50 names you want to appear on that list in order to make the utterly unofficial 2019 Crowdsource list. The only competition here is to see if your names makes it to the top 50. Then you can also make a shadowlist, which is basically the list where you can test personally if you’re better than the committee. No competition here, it’s just a fun measuring stick. Oh, and welcome to the forums The Old Crem.

As I'm here and having a better day than most, here is my 2019 Hare's Pool Entry, @Deathray. Gives msc a chance to check it, as it's a theme team of folk associated with Doctor Who.

Funny how one of the most powerful men in the history of America (UN ambassador, GOP Chairman, CIA director, VP, POTUS, Father of POTUS) basically lived out the last quarter of a century of his life in quiet retirement.

Seems you've had more than your fair share of settlement! Now in latest news Labour will call a VoNC in the government should the government lose the EU Referendum deal vote. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46416591 Note that in the scenario of a Motion of No Confidence it can trigger a new Coupled with the DUP threatening to lose support this could see us going into another general election on a simple majority if no motion of confidence in any government is passed within 14 days, unlike the 2/3rd majority required in normal sitting. Crikey. That Fixed Term Parliaments Act is really doing it's job isn't it! Assuming everybody votes with their party and recently stated positions. Conservative 315 Labour 257 SNP 35 Lib Dem 12 Plaid Cymru 4 Green Party 1 = 309 Abstentions - Sinn Fein 7 The DUP appear to have withdrawn support for the government in all but name recently. If they agree to vote for the no confidence motion then it could be won 315 - 324 There is also 8 MPs who are independent. You'd expect Charlie Elphicke to vote with the government (suspended Tory) Frank Field could go either way, but I'd put him down to vote against the government (resigned Labour as supports relatively hard Brexit, but deeply unpopular in his constituency party and a new election could finish his career ) You'd expect Andrew Griffiths to vote with the government (as a new election would finish the slimy git off) You'd expect Kelvin Hopkins to vote against the government (ex-Labour but hard Brexiteer, this deal won't satisfy him) You'd expect Ivan Lewis to vote against the government (ex-Labour, suspended) Jared O'Mara is unlikely to vote at all due to a multitude of health issues You'd expect John Woodcock to vote against the government. I'd expect Sylvia Hermon to vote with the DUP's position, when it's clear, but would hedge her as a vote against the government given the backstop (Northern Irish independent So that would give you 317 - 313 to the government with DUP abstention, 333 - 313 to the government if the DUP vote for in confidence or 317 - 328 if the DUP go for the motion of no confidence. Labour need the DUP to agree to this motion of no confidence to get it through. The situation gets messier when you consider the viable opposition government which would also need the DUP in it :eek:; a Labour, SNP, Lib Dem, Plaid, Green and DUP coalition would suffice. I can't see that happening which would mean a new election. The other option is a National Government of Labour and Conservative, which might be the sensible option at this point.

Read my lips, Bush Sr. will not stand. However, he was less popular in the Inverse Dead Pool than he was in 1992, picked by a mere four teams that fell out of contention long ago, who nevertheless are all vomiting at the result.

Thanks! Yeah, I can't believe it: It's not you!

Trump was picked, but not Bush wow

Christopher George made his last patrol on this day 35 years ago, aged 52.

I see that American serial killer Samuel Little, 78, is trending on Twitter after confessing to having killed ninety women since 1970. I wonder if poor health has been a motivational factor in him deciding to sing like a canary...

Now lots of people can say "I remember where I was when C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley died".

Bill Bixby wasn't incredible anymore after this day 25 years ago, aged 59.

Charles Manson finally went to Hell-ter Skelter a year ago (83).

Dont frighten us like that!

What a white hypocrite you are. A week ago you were saying this guy does not warrant his own thread, now you're on the bandwagon. You going to get dreads this afternoon too and then going to blockbuster to rent out Coming to America???

Mod powers are to be used lightly. I ain't gonna try to overthrow Mugabe, can you imagine the chaos it would cause?
