Former Watford player (as opposed to the the former Port Vale player) Andy Porter dead at 84. Helped Watford achieve promotion from Division Four back in 1960.

He sounds really, really narked. He doesn't give a shit about the Queen, he's just peeved that he hasn't been given any inside information.

Interesting comment on the “in good spirits” line always used by Buckingham Palace. Doesn’t mean anything really - Prince Philip would have been described the same way even in his final days……

Don't know where else to put this. Alec Baldwin accidentally kills woman when a prop gun misfired.

Sir Archie Lamb dead, four days shy of 100. Served under Harold Wilson, Jim Callaghan and Maggie Thatcher. Also an RAF fighter pilot during WWII.

Apparently he has been discharged from the hospice - through I’m not sure if that is because he will die very soon or because his condition has stabilised enough so that he might make 2022. I will be a bit surprised if he makes the death list through even if he is still alive by then.

Former Labour MP and current member of the House of Lords Frank Field has a terminal illlness

Oh, this thread is just about to start. I predict 200 pages.

Nothing to worry about, probably some minor heart issues. Anyway I insist not only she will never become the oldest living state leader, but she won't even be the last standing of the 6 born in 1926.

Bizarre, though I'm currently reading how this could have happened. And who knows, maybe Baldwin just wanted to shot a person for real once, and make it look like an accident. He seems the type.. (Edit: Actually, the more I read about it, he's probably not the type at all.)

Tommy DeBarge, part of the DeBarge family and a member of the R&B/funk group Switch, has died. He was 64. https://www.tmz.com/2021/10/21/tommy-debarge-dead-died-64/

Valentine Ligny, 6th oldest living person, turns 115. She is the 57th validated person who reaches 115th birthday.

Hello Long-time lurker and signed up today. Proud to have a morbid sense of humour - when my dear old Nan died, I quipped to my friends that I went to see the body and said "It's alright, don't get up"

Calling for euthanasia suggests months to go, tbh, but then, Brian Rix did that and just keeled over weeks later. DL wise - Jowell made it, and while she held Cabinet posts, Field had more of a TV presence - especially in the last 5 years with Brexit and his disdain for all things Corbyn. I could certainly see them adding him.

Someone might bag him for the Advent Avalanche if it runs

No but they usually do.They even announced she had gone in with the shits a few years ago and were always going on about Philips bladder infections.

Conjugal visit to Philip's cold dead exhumed corpse? (There goes the knighthood....).

Of all the musicals, and I mean all including Carousel and Pal Joey, The Sound Of Music is probably my most despised. It's long, it's saccharine, and all those reprises....yuk. Lay oh yodel lay do. Or summat.

Not incestuous at all. Her two husbands are related to each other, not to her.
