Spotted in Aldi.

Got to feel bad for him, it's truly awful going through that at such a young age. Sadly doesn't seem like he has long left. Loads of us didn't buy the "improving" stories at the end of last year and it seems we were correct to be sceptical.

Obit from Columbia University's Department of Statistics.

John Billings, who flew Allied spies behind Nazi lines, dies at 98. Lonnnnnggg obit do feel free to read at your leisure; I’m posting the headline.. SC

John Parlett (wiki), British Olympic and Empire Games runner, being reported dead at 96 on Twitter. His wife, fellow Olympian Dorothy Manley, died last year aged 94. She was a DDP pick then (and a hit). He hasn't been picked this year.

I contend that you can have a drink, and be over the legal limit for driving, without being drunk, in the accepted sense of being drunk. Therefore, to call anyone who exceeds the legal limit a 'drunk driver' is just stupid.

German-Israeli journalist, author and Holocaust survivor Inge Deutschkron (Wiki) dead at 99

Well considering it's not starting for another 8 months, he won't be looking good at all

Justice Christopher, who played in all three of Nigeria's "Group of Death" matches at the 2002 World Cup, is dead. Apparently he was 40, but being as he first retired from football "aged" 25, I think this might be classic Nigerian accounting.

Tomás Boy, who captained Mexico's 1986 World Cup squad and coached numerous Liga MX sides after a lengthy playing career with Tigres UANL, has died at age 70. The Mexican national team tweeted the news on Tuesday but did not reveal the cause of Boy's death. He had been admitted to a Mexico City hospital for pulmonary thromboembolism earlier this week. SC

Conrad Janis is a hit for me.

Updated Desert Island Discs 50s/60s surviving guests list for 2021–2022 passings. Not much change... just 5 in 14 months, including Robbie Brightwell. This lot don't seem to be in any rush to die and Leslie Phillips seems to be determined to survive everyone else...

Conrad Janis, who played Mindy's father on Mork & Mindy, obit: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/arts/television/conrad-janis-dead.html IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0417641/ IBDB: https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/conrad-janis-11925 Should be a pick on the DDP, he has been before.

Clearly I'm not with the inside knowledge group that read every single topic in the forum, maybe someone said it already on the seemingly irrelevant death thread or whatever... Facepalm me all you want, it only shows you guys as bitter, old and intolerant of outsiders. And you guys wonder why this site barely gets anyone new contributing to it...

Much like how you hyphenated drunk-writing, drink-driving should be hyphenated for it to make more sense.

Twitter Video of him on stage on tour last night. Only comes on for one song and sits down for it's entirety. Doesn't look like he can stand or walk without assistance anymore, he also can't seem to open an eye from what I've seen from Instagram stories.

New Orleans drummer Kevin O'Day has died. He performed with many groups, including The Single Atom Theory and the Midnite Disturbers. He was also among the first musicians to organize a show in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. SC

Between a lot of positive words his son says that "he's still fighting" and "we're hoping that he'll recover": https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/pele-brazil-health-chemotherapy-b986404.html Sounds to me like the fight might soon be over and recovery is the less likely scenario.

Juana Santos Caballero dead at 111 according to talk on the 110club and social media posts. Born in 1910 instead of 1906.

Hans Schornack, oldest man in Germany, has now become the first man born on a leap day to become a supercentenarian.

Looks good for 94! Still partial to a bit of fanny fun I reckon.

Judge Daniel Walsh ascended to the judiciary in 1969, serving as a judge on the 87th Judicial District of Michigan and the 46th Judicial Circuit of Michigan. He then served as a judge on the Michigan Court of Appeals from 1975 to 1988. As State Court Administrator, he was requested by the Supreme Court in 1983 to temporarily take over the administration of the State trial courts and devise procedures to improve the Michigan court systems. His venerable reputation was such that following Justice Antonin Scalia's appointment to the Supreme Court in 1986, Judge Walsh was asked by the United States Attorney General's office to submit himself for consideration to replace Justice Scalia on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Judge Daniel Francis Walsh, 91, died on February 19, 2022 at his home in Savannah, Georgia. SC
