I just watched this clip from 60 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNrvXw9juNs&ab_channel=60Minutes Really quite emotional viewing. It is incredible to watch him turn into the performer he used to be as soon as the music starts or the curtain is raised. It is also touching to see him remember Lady Gaga's name when she walks on stage, and how much it means to her. But the bottom line for us is: although he is physically quite fit for a 95 year-old and his voice is incredible for someone that old, his Alzheimer's is more advanced than I thought.

I've decided to sell my music and image rights to Viz for £1, which I plan to invest in a packet of sweets.

Tom Parker aims to be "cancer-free" by March...well, good luck: https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/07/tom-parker-aims-to-be-cancer-free-by-march-from-terminal-brain-tumour-15379600/ He tried several private treatments and lost a lot of weight at one point - until he seemingly found one that worked. It still makes you wonder what timeline he is on. Could linger on for a few years.

New video released of him singing with Lady Gaga

I am stating to sense another bowel movement like I did a few weeks ago. What I am unsure of is whether it means like it did a few weeks ago a raft of my derby deadpool picks particularly uniques are about to die eg Christina Crawford, Erin Pizzey, Johnny Gold, Ronnie Knight etc or whether we are about to have an 8th or even 9th hit on the official deathlist. But some significant activity is due before the end of the month of June that I am sensing for sure. A plop and splash in the toilet bowl of some kind and noteworthiness is semi imminent.

A warning that I am sensing another bowel movement on the way. I don't think it will be too long, within another week or so, before the committee has to cross another name of the list after a big plop noise in the toilet bowl.....

Probably yes. In that category "biggest lifespan of either spouse". 1843-2020 Anna Nicole Smith also had this huge age difference, but of course, she died very early herself.

I first saw Terry in The Young Ones where he was a drunken vicar. Such a funny opening for one of the best episodes.
