Richard Rogers has died aged 88. NYT

Report from a seemingly pristine source that Tam Harvey, who co-founded The Humblebums with Connolly, has died:

Drakeo the Ruler now confirmed dead by TMZ official. Obituaries: The Sun, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail

Drakeo the Ruler, American rapper, stabbed at a music festival and remains in a critical condition.

Until you know what you're talking about , shut the fuck up.

I wrote a letter to Cate Bauer. She confirmed that she was born in 1929.

Sorry to hear of the passing of child actress Georgia Jean LaRue (March 14, 1928 - July 18, 2021) who appeared in "The Our Gang Follies of 1938" and "Reunion in Rhythm". https://littlerascals.proboards.com/thread/943/surviving-gang-actors?page=13

Was thinking about " Is Sir Creep an arsehole or not". But that would be a waste of time.

It was very obvious from the start this was never going away. One day this will be like the common cold or influenza. Will just get a 'flu' shot every year. The people who told you this COULD or WOULD be defeated lied to stop panic as they didn't know when it would calm down. It also would have driven less to get vaccinated as "Why should we get a shot if we just get another next year". OR they were just uneducated on how Coronavirus behaved in the past.

New pictures posted from this facebook page: 9th and 12th of December. Reported to be "doing well for his age" Archbishop Georg Gänswein, his private secretary (seen next to him) recently said that both he and Benedict have received the third dose (source). Gänswein also mentioned that Benny is "stable in his physical frailty and crystal clear in his head"

He also said "no decision is more personal than what to inject in to your own body" Seems like he chose embalming fluid.

Richard Rogers is a hit for me.

Very big name in Architecture. Didn't realise he was that old.

That's not the reason here!

Zsa Zsa Gabor died on this day 5 years ago, aged 99.

23:45 et je viens de finir mon tri pour 2022 : j’ai enlevé des noms que je vais regretter je le sens : Geneviève Page, Yvonne Furneaux, Judith Magre, Philippe Bouvard, Line Renaud, Hugues Aufray sont tous out…

D’autres idées: 1924: Anne Vernon 1925: Brigitte Auber 1926: Robert Clary, Bernard Pons 1927: Geneviève Page ? Dominique Minot 1930: Philippe Leroy 1931: Pierre Vernier 1934: Pierre Richard, Jean Sorel 1935: Michel Subor, Yvonne Constant 1936: Jacques Balutin 1937: Guy Marchand, Sami Frey 1941: Jacques Perrin 1943: Jacques Dutronc

American professional wrestler Russ Haas died on this day 20 years ago, aged 27.

Riccardo Ehrman, the Italian journalist whose questions to East German government spokesman Günter Schabowski led to the opening of the BErlin Wall, has died aged 92.

Ça me semble une super liste ! Pourquoi JP Perrault, Bruno Latour et Richard Bohringer ? J’ai loupé une info les concernant ? je posterai la mienne dans un moment, je n’arrive pas à faire de choix, il y a trop de monde que j’aimerais mettre ahah… sinon, autre question : comment faites-vous /fais-tu pour les listes ? Depuis des années j’en fais une international et une française. Seulement je pense que je vais enlever les quelques noms français de ma liste international (qui étaient déjà dans ma liste française) pour faire deux listes bien distinctes. Je ne sais pas trop si ça vaut le coup d’avoir certains noms en double sur mes deux listes et j’ai besoin d’un avis

Alright, my thoughts (not that anybody cares... particularly not the "committee") KEEP (21) Angela Lansbury (frail, seldom seen now and 97 next year) Betty White (frail, 100 in January) Bob Barker (99 next year, frail, seldom heard from now, numerous hospitalisations) Henry Kissinger (loose keep... he's still active, though frail(ish). Could go on for another 2 years or could go in 2 months) June Brown (95 next year, lifelong smoker, now retired and gone quiet as of recent) Jimmy Carter (frail, occasional hospitalisations, imagine he will go next year) Leslie Phillips (strong keep... how is he still alive?!) Prunella Scales (had dementia for years now and the most recent update suggests she has max 1-2 years left) Tony Bennett (strong keep... Alzheimer's + looked fucked in that August appearance, I think he'll just pass in his sleep soon enough) Rosalynn Carter (looks frail enough and health issues like her husband) Queen Elizabeth II (loose keep, in an ideal world we'd know exactly what's going on, I still think it's nothing serious but too big to drop) Harry Belafonte (loose keep, still in the public eye but noticeably very frail now) Bob Newhart (ditto the Belafonte comment, still alive but looks frail, I think he may do an Ed Asner and just go suddenly) Barbara Walters (seriously ill for years, now totally out of public view) Pope Benedict XVI (frail, seldom seen in public and 95 next year, the only other "way too big to drop" name other than Carter and QEII) Linda Nolan (terminal cancer, recent reports suggest she's nearing the end now) Joanne Woodward (Alzheimer's for years and not seen in the public eye in a long time) Sidney Poitier (no longer seen in public, we're led to believe he's very frail and he's 95 next year) Stanley Baxter (turning 96, seldom seen nowadays, noticeably frail in the last few pics of him) Shane MacGowan (loose keep, he just looks so fucked, like a small cold could finish him off) Shannen Doherty (terminal cancer, now well surpassed her expectancy, I think it will catch up with her soon enough) DROP (18) Dick Van Dyke (still doing sit ups and running at 96, there are stronger nonagenarian options) Akihito (looks fine in recent pics, still working) Loretta Lynn (going on that recent video, looks ok, seems to have recovered the best one can from a big stroke) Alan Greenspan (looks ok, not much change in that recent video I posted, again there are stronger nonagenarian options) Jacques Delors (loose drop, cancelled an event recently due to health but looks ok in a recent vid... too unpredictable) Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (gave a recent public address, looked ok) David Crosby (if you just Google him you can find loads of recent interviews, inc. videos, he looks ok) Dick Cheney (appeared in the recent 9/11 doc in the BBC and at Dole's funeral, looked fine) Imelda Marcos (loose drop, looks ok in recent public pic despite being in a wheelchair, we just don't know enough) Yoko Ono (loose drop, looks ok, definitely slowing and getting frail but could go on for a few years yet) Mel Brooks (loose drop, still active and working and giving interviews, there are stronger nonagenarian options) Willie Nelson (loose drop, performing the other week and looks ok) Betty Boothroyd (I just watched a video of her from her office the other week, looks ok and still working) Jean-Marie Le Pen (loose drop, seems to still be active and doing video interviews despite the health fears several years ago) Raul Castro (loose drop, still making the odd public appearance and looks ok) Burt Bacharach (frail(ish) and seldom seen but we just don't know enough to give him a place) Bernard Cribbins (we're told he's doing "fine", ditto the above reason – we don't know enough) Vanessa Redgrave (loose drop, some whispers about her health but not enough concrete info to go on) ADD (29) Frank Williams (91, obese, wheelchair bound and looks frail) Sidney Cooke (95, strokes and heart attacks galore, another "how is he still alive?" name) Katharine Jackson (wheelchair bound, serious stroke, frail and hospitalisations, ditto how is she still alive?) Tim Curry (probably my most controversial pick but hear me out – totally fucked from that major stroke and still indulging in his vices that likely caused it e.g. smoking, his physical and mental state is so bad I would expect him to have a recurring stroke to finish him off) Lord Norman Tebbit (from seeing him in the flesh myself this summer I can tell you he won't see 2023) Philippe de Gaulle (100 in 2 weeks time, we're told too ill to make public appearances, an easy hit) Winnie Ewing (Alzheimer's for years, ppl are shocked she's still alive) Monica Vitti (Alzheimer's for decades, surely can't see through another year) Gail Halvorsen (102 next year, frail and miraculously survived a COVID infection by the sounds) Tom Smith (terminal cancer that's spread all over his body) Tom Parker (terminal brain cancer, good news recently but like Doherty, I think it will catch up quite quickly) Mikhail Gorbachev (frail, seldom seen in public, add him to the small "too big to miss" club) Jerry Lee Lewis (very frail, can barely string a sentence together) Olivia Newton-John (terminal cancer, quieter as of recent...) James Whale (terminal cancer, looks like a burnt lasagne, he's now outlived his prognosis, can't see him getting to 2023) George Alagiah (terminal cancer, seems close to the end now) Bill Turnbull (ditto Alagiah) Jean-Louis Trintignant (turning 92, still has cancer) Jimmy Millar (dementia for years, death hoax this year which was very believable at the time as he's been expected to go for a while now) Frank Field (terminal cancer and in hospice care) Sandra Day O'Connor (Alzheimer's for years, never seen in public) Superstar Billy Graham (yet more recent hospitalisations, years of ill health, another how is he still alive type) Pele (cancer, very frail, inconsistent statements from family suggest they downplayed it when the truth seems that he's dying) Liza Minnelli (recently disappeared from public eye, rumours she's near the end) Sir Bobby Charlton (dementia, didn't attend his own brother's funeral last year due to ill health) James Watson (very frail, already looks like a corpse) Sir Michael Gambon (noticeably absent from public eye recently, rumours of ill health, not attending the Harry Potter cast reunion) Larry Storch (99 next year, has looked very frail for years, another how is he still alive type) Glynis Johns (99 next year, been in a care home for years)

Underground film director Kenneth Anger (b. 1927) needs to be seriously considered for next year. I get a "runner-up at the local Kirk Douglas lookalike contest" kind of vibe from him nowadays. Looks every bit of his age, even though not sure how how old he is in these photos. Well, he ain't getting any younger.

Like I said in this thread earlier, if they class some Doris who made the teas in an airfield canteen aged 16 in 1945 as a veteran, then you could be looking at early-mid 2040s......

Katonavirus.

Yep she's spent all her money on Harvey and Charlie
