Retired Croatian music teacher Frane Selak, the world's luckiest (or unluckiest) man, is going to be ninety next month. So far Selak has survived seven near death experiences, five marriages and a lottery win. From his Wiki page:

Ugh, It's been 5 months and still no hit for me. This is has been my driest DDP start since 2009. Will this be a dud year for me or can I still get a hit this year? Here's my self-analysis. George Alagiah: Stage IV bowel cancer returned last year, outside chance he could see next year. 60% John Andretti: Cancer returned recently, could still see 2020. 65% Leah Bracknell: Still hanging on, stage IV cancer slowly progressing. 50% Beth Chapman: Throat cancer returned last year, but she could easily sneak into the new year. 60% Kirk Douglas: Increasingly frail, wheelchair bound, nearing 103. 60% Jill Gascoine: Final stages of Alzheimer's for 3 years, no updates since then. 65% Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Cancer free after recent surgery. More likely to see next year. 25% Valerie Harper: No health updates I could find since 2017, hasn't appeared on TV or film recently. 45% Clive James: Recently had an operation. Frail and near 80. This could actually be the year he goes but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high. 50% Lee Kerslake: Supposedly a goner by the end of the summer, received Ozzy Osbourne's platinum discs back in February. 70% John McCririck: Supposed to be dead before the summer, but no health updates I could find since October. 65% Olivia Newton-John: Recently sold her ranch, breast cancer slowly progressing. 60% Javier Perez de Cuellar: Frail, wheelchair bound, prematurely reported dead last October. 60% Isabel Peron: No new updates I could find, but nearing 90. 45% Prince Philip: Retired from his duties two years ago, frail since his car accident in January. 75% Fernando Ricksen: ALS, in hospice for months, health getting worse, and looking worse. My only dead cert as of now. 100% Nobby Stiles: Frail and demented, and still hasn't gone. 50% Jean Louis-Trintignant: Prostate cancer very advanced, refusing treatment, more likely a goner late summer/early autumn. 75% Bill Turnbull: Prostate cancer slowly progressing. Could be more next year than this year. 40% Marieke Vervoort: Will she? Won't she? 40%

He is stable now. But we knew and we know his time is limited. Still he is giving the Reaper a good run for his money. Hope your father gets better.

There was a terrible fatal road accident near here on Thursday in Cornwall on A38. Sadly it’s my mates Mum who was the person killed. Just dreadful to wake up to read the heartbreaking news from him this morning.

Thoughts are with you. I have been in hospital holding the hand of my 90 yo Dad who was taken in on Tuesday. He is weak but they are giving him a broad spectrum antibiotic. He was able to speak to us before we left. Hope things improve for you @drol
