He said he would die before the election, and he did. Staggering example of a statesman keeping a promise in an election year.

Martin Cort is alive and at least 85 now. Ditto John Rolfe. Also at some point I should look into New Who in case of oldies.

I've mentioned him a few times here, but this is a photo from his radio show the other day. Has he now beaten Jim Neidhart to the record of the man with the highest blood pressure in history?

Well Congrats @Book on getting a hit here for Bob Hawke. Next round... 1920 Fanny Waterman /Arnold Yarrow 1921 Elizabeth Kelly/ Ray Lawler 1922 Betty White/Rex Richards 1923 Gloria Whelan/ Freeman Dyson 1924 Zizi Jeanmaire/Christopher Tolkien 1925 Ysanne Churchman/Pete Murray 1926 Gudrun Ure/Leonard Fenton 1927 Mary Higgins-Clark/Frank Windsor 1928 Estelle Harris/Tommy Docherty 1929 Patricia Routledge/Eric Carle

Incurable, though. How long? *shrug* Mainly picked her cos she's a local pick for local people....

Wouk's got the Philosopher's Stone! It all makes sense now......

Bob Hawke is my first hit after 5 and half months.

Maybe a summer deluge to counterbalance the drought earlier in the year is actually a realistic hope now...?

So Earl Cameron is the only one then. Hope he lasts a while then !

Bob Hawke a fourth hit for me here.

You got your wish !

I'm beginning to think he isn't going to get one. I notice there is a new rerun of Scream Street starting on CBBC on Saturday - if they show a tribute to him in the end credits and I get a screen shot does that count as a QO? I'm thinking it's effectively a BBC written QO? But I don't want to be watching kids TV on Saturday afternoon if it isn't a QO.

msc produced a handy list some time ago on this thread. Yarrow was second after Cameron, then there is a drop to Nicholas Parsons, a relative youngster who won't see his centenary. I mean, won't see it until 2023.

Leonard Bailey, the Loma Linda surgeon who opened new doors in medicine when he transplanted a baboon heart into an infant girl but then endured withering criticism for harvesting an organ from an animal to help save the life of a human, has died after a years-long fight with cancer. He was 76. SC

So by 8.19pm tonight (u.k time she's gone?)

My Dad has also been discharged. Good luck @drol

Sometimes I can be such a knob.

You're deadly serious about that aren't you? Even if I flew the things, I'd not know that. I often park in Tesco's but couldn't name the space from a picture.

That looks like terminal 4, gate a2 at JFK.

We Didn't Start The Fire loses Doris Day. which leaves: England's got a new Queen - Queen Elizabeth II Bardot - Brigitte Bardot Chubby Checker Dylan - Bob Dylan British Beatlemania - Paul and Ringo Bernie Goetz

Anybody else mentally substitute his name for 'shag a lesbian? No? Oh, ok, just me then.
