I think Dame Maggie Smith should be on the list in future. She is 85 and is getting on a bit and i'm not sure she'll make it past 90.

There’s a lot of talk here by adults about what is essentially children’s television - because no actual grown up watches this bunch of ass, do they?

Sad news. Mike Huckaby is dead. Sadder news is that Mike Huckabee is still alive...

‘Key worker’. That’s lovely that you’re a nurse or a carer or a fireman but you do not have to start EVERY SINGLE POST on any form of social media with ‘I’m a key worker’ - ‘I’m a key worker where can I get my headlight fixed’ ‘I’m a key worker is there any florists open’ ‘I’m a key worker does anyone know if Superdrug has any Anusol in stock - I couldn’t give a fuck if you’re a ‘key worker’, it has NO RELEVANCE to your post. My need for Anusol is just as valid as yours, just because I’m not a ‘key worker’ I’m still having to work every day so fuck off with your attention seeking hero bollocks.

Of course not, because he's dead !

Maybe I should think about it again, haha! Translation: 1 - And what about you in Cologne? - On my balcony, roasting my nuts in the sun, listening to ABBA! Pleasant for the nerves! 2 - Yeah, sun! Now that it's just April! And once more no rain! The Summer is frightening me more than the virus .. - By the way, what about the two new ABBA songs they had promised? - What? 3 - No one's talking about that anymore! A new album by ABBA right now, this would keep humanity sweet! - Probably there'd be peace in Palestine! 4 - Right, as long as we've got fresh water for our diswasher, the only thing missing are two new songs by Abba! Sagat, stop it! - Somebody should talk to Björn! -Absolutely

Despite having the Betty Driver Memorial Thread and the Yewtree thread @YoungWillz thought that I should start a thread for the only person who's managed to hold down a job he can't do for knocking on 60 years. Corrie bosses if you're reading this I'm also a shit actor and like Coronation Street, could do with a 60 year career fucking up my lines and giving two emotional expressions only to cover every situation. Just PM me. Claims to have shagged 1,000+ women. Probably why he struggled to remember details when he was intimately grilled about them in the name of Yewtree but got away with it. Best known for fucking up his lines in thousands of episodes of Coronation Street, yet being an egotistical maniac who thinks he'd have been the next Hollywood superstar if he had turned Corrie down. Views himself as the guardian of Ken Barlow and constantly argues with producers over whether Ken would do something. One of the last survivors of the original cast of Coronation Street and cult icon in the United Kingdom. Despite his obvious insanity, purely through longevity he's become important in the national psyche and penetrated far beyond the world of soap, how many fictional marital scraps have the outcome shown on the scoreboard at Old Trafford? Spiritually searching for something with his weird cults that he belongs to, aged massively in the past few years so might be about to cark it you never know. Wants to work until he's 100 unfortunately for those of us who actually watch Corrie, but working that long might induce a stress related heart attack to save us all from his one emotion and bad delivery.... I'm only starting this thread to avoid whoever does when he eventually carks it opening it with some post-humous glowing eulogisation of the ineffective, lucky old cunt in his thread's first post. Always remember he's a shit actor who isn't sacked because he's been their too long to sack.

I've been told I look like Richard Beckinsale which makes me think I would have made a better looking man than I do woman.

I actually saw a big fat middle aged bloke with one of these hair cuts at Tescos today. The fact that he was wearing some sort of Carer/NHS garb with tracksuit bottoms did not negate the fact that he looked like a child molester. Fuck, people cannot be THAT eccentric, surely

She is. Fucking ugly too

Hamilton Bohannon, Motown drummer who went on to have a successful solo career as a named artist, sometimes credited as simply Bohannon, reported dead on the Twittersheeple: UK #6 (July 1975) Disco Stomp

That Stones song is awful. Their 70s selves would be embarrassed to hear that. They would have been better just to do a cover of Ghost Town by the Specials.

I keep seeing repeats of As Time Goes By on shows like Drama or Yesterday and forget how old he is now.

Rina Sawayama - XS - from her self-titled debut album. This japanese queer artist gives a modern spin to those timeless classic artists like Britney Spears and Mariah Carey:

In may 2017 there were persistent rumours about Jiang Zemin's death, once again. After a bit the government answered they would publish an obituary on the People's Daily next day. And they published it, only it was Qian Qichen's obituary. So I guess they could go pretty the same way. Today in the middle of extraordinary broadcast they'll disclose "With our hearts full of grief, we must announce the death of beloved leader Kim" The World: "Ooooooh, it was true! News of the Decade!" KCNA: "Beloved former Chairman of the Presidium Kim Yong-nam died yesterday at the age of 91 after a short illness. Young leader KIm Jong-un has already sent condolences"

I have a long love hate relationship with alcohol. My best mate and flatmate sat me down this week and had a strong word in my ear as my alcohol use was climbing again. Its partly down to a shit situation with work and having my anxiety BPD roaring through this last 4 weeks. Not helped by Lack of PPE, and being caught in a couple of manager's gunfight for control during the lockdown. In simple terms, we are keyworkers with nothing to do and they dont want us sat at home. So I've been out in the general public doing very unappreciated tasks. Very stressful. So I admit it's been a bottle of wine most nights during the lockdown. But late last night I was informed I'm going back to my normal job from Tuesday which can restart safely. This removed the stress totally, I'm happy back with my team, and I can relax knowing I'll be making a difference with a purpose. Today I'll buy Vimto my normal drink of choice and normality will return.

Be quiet you he is the young hot fit piece of ass exception to my shaven headed rule (apart from long haired Grohl who I would bang like a shithouse door in the wind)

Colin Baker was not well served by his scripts a during his TV tenure but his commitment to the show is second to none and his audio work is so much better he probably has the biggest voice presence of the Doctors who have recorded audio adventures. My wife likes him because he smiled kindly at her when we got autographs after the Ultimate Adventure

Quick recap. CNN and Bloomberg report he underwent cardiac stent surgery and is in critical conditions following complications; they claim to have independent sources for that. This guy, an Italian scholar living in Bejing with close ties to the Communist Party, adfirms Kim is already dead and they are planning succesion. He claims China sent a team of doctors from Bejing to save his life, but they failed. Trump called the CNN report "fake news" (and you know Trump is a dork), Sydney Morning Herald adfirms Kim was visiting some touristic sites these past days, but NK media did not mention anything (and they usually follow Kim's routine closely). Personally I still think he will reappear out of nothing like Jiang Zemin in 2012.

I wont bore you on the details of the show itself (I think our respective view points are known!). Just to use this to correct the post you replied to: Ecclestone DID offer his services because he thought it'd be a good role (which it is for actors - big role on BBC1 and it gets you other work) - but he fell out with the producer who went to Corrie and fucked off everyone there too. This happens ALL THE TIME behind the scenes on TV, but it was a bigger deal here because Dr Who fans. And a bigger deal for Ecclestone because it ended his long friendship with Russell T Davies. The "he doesn't want to talk to fans" thing is a load of bollocks. He's done a whole lot of fan appearances, is known to be good with child fans, done the whole convention and interview thing (more so in recent years). Hes made it clear its a professional/personal thing and he doesn't blame random no name fans. Just people take things personally. He was asked about the 50th anniversary show but he wanted to see a script which didn't exist so he said he wasn't interested. Which isn't a knock on Steven Moffat as with Sherlock too he had about 9 scripts to knock off in 6 months so was waiting till he knew who was on board rather than need to rewrite the entire thing. Just two different ways to doing TV things that didn't work out together, no conspiracy. Anyhow, he's always struck me on TV as an actor who doesn't like to dwell on past roles, and is somewhat surprised when people enthuse about decades old things! Our Friends in the North, that was a good one. Right, as you were, then.

Book, you're too fast! He had suffered from a sepsis last year which took a heavy toll. (bit of a missed opportunity maybe) An old school catholic leftie in the centrist CDU party of Helmut Kohl. An ambivalent legacy because his belief in the role of the state was either deceivingly simplistic or morally admirable.

True. To you they are not famous. But to him she's well known. As you've never known my cousin. Also dead, at 53. He was living in an assisted-living home and he was the fourth casualty at his wing. This thread was started when Covid-19 was still very much something far and away. But as things progress, the virus is creaping nearer to you than you want. This thread now may turn out to have the wrong title (only famous people) and can evolve in the most personal thread this forum has ever known. People close to you are starting to die, which makes me both sad, angry.... and, yes, scared.

He's already outlived two of his wives and 2 kids. Maybe He's sucking the life force out of them and extending his own. Joking aside i read once the human body is built to live a maxium of 120 years.genetics,luck, standard of living and life choices cut that down. Seems to me the newer generation have gained a decade. People in their 20s still acting childish and like teenagers, people in their 30s getting their life together, marriage kids late 30s /early 40s. Life begins at 50 etc. People in their 60s and 70s alot more active than the generation of people in their 60s and 70s before. On holiday i met and active couple in their mid 70s all my grandparents were dead before their mid 70s.

Bill Roache is one seriously weird guy, he believes he is going to live to be 120 as he is actually getting younger as his body is regenerating itself and his cells are being replaced by new younger ones due to him training his mind and body to get younger. He thinks the body is designed forever and that pure love can save the world. He probably will live to his mid to late 90s and be in Corrie till his dying day which is a shame as he can’t act and is annoying as hell.
