Unless there is any evidence of ill health I would not go anywhere near Andrews or Cleese. I don't even think Cleese will be the next Python to go

Vietnamese decrepit Buddhist monk Thich Pho Tue finally dead at 104. Uberfrail Thích Thanh Từ (wiki), 97, now the oldest Buddhist authority in Vietnam, I think.

One to keep an eye on is Just Fontaine, 89 next year and frail for years. Was one of the best of his time.

Either Uwe Seeler or Jairzinho perhaps as the oldest living great.

https://www.barrons.com/news/georgia-medics-urge-hospitalisation-of-hunger-striking-saakashvili-01634722807 Former President of Georgia 2004-2007 and 2008-2013, good friend of Dubya Mikheil Saakashvili is on a hunger strike and has said that he'll continue until he is released or hospitalised. According to his doctor he also has an underlying blood disease that makes his hunger strike more dangerous.

I don't think he did that bad a job there. When Saint-Maximin and Wilson are injured it's a pretty limited squad. They finished comfortably in about 12th last season after a poor first half which was arguably quite an achievement. Klopp/Guardiola/Mourinho wouldn't have got that squad challenging for Europe. Neil Warnock isn't doing any better than mid-table with Middlesbrough. He's 70-odd and will probably get fed up and retire soon, Bruce could go there.

The Queens cousin and working royal The Duke of Gloucester looks rather beetroot red in the face in the second photo. He's the second person on the left row for those who don't know what he looks like. Just thought it was worth highlighting to fellow deadpoolers. He is in his late seventies.

Rossi gone in the last 12 months as well. Beckenbauer arguably IMO. After that probably the likes of Van Basten even allowing for his injuries.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/radio-host-dennis-prager-covid-b1940824.html US radio host Dennis Prager known from his "PragerU" orgnization has catched covid on purpose to "develope natural immunity" He's 73 and not probably not vaccinated.

Although as someone who fits 3 of the 6, mysteriously I've never murdered anyone, because life being shit isn't an excuse to be a cunt to other people, and the best way to punish a politician is to vote them out in my book. (I've never understand the "kill them" train of thought either tbh. David Cameron might be my most loathed living politician, the useless waster, yet I don't wish violence on him. He's going to live another 30-40 odd years knowing he fucked up his dream job, that's more than enough for me!)

She was not only a great actress, but her successful lawsuit against Warner Bros made Hollywood a better place to work for actors under the dreadful studio talent contracts system. She was last living megastar of the Golden Age and it always blew my mind she was born during WW I and still survived. Rest in peace to my 13th hit.
