Boris Pahor dead at 108.

Terminally ill, six months to live. Daily record. Front page cert but doubt he makes it. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/rangers-legend-andy-goram-says-27097494

Just noting, the Record's updated to reveal what cancer it is: Stage IV esophageal

We've been saying that for a decade now...

Boris Pahor has finally gone hopefully heralding an era of clearing out of other Boris' that have survived longer than people expected

Berlusconi's Monza win the Serie B playoffs, but our Silvio clearly couldn't handle the excitement and took a nap during the second half.

The Piers Sellers of 2022?

Means that the cohort of famous* people born in 1913 is now extinct. (*Actually famous. I didn't count those two Chinese people.) 1911 still has Camacho Quiros, 1912 has Luis Torras and Shi Ping (neither of them really that notable) and possibly that Djara Mickaharic guy (has he ever even existed?)

Boris Pahor a hit for me

Jake “The Snake” Roberts is 67 today

Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Mansa district, a day after the state government withdrew his security cover. Seemed an important part of the story you guys were glossing over.

Paul Poloczek has died at the age of 37. The cause of Paul’s death is not known at this time. Paul leaves a young daughter and a wife behind him. Paul was an IFBB Pro from Poland, and the news of his death came from his spouse, Katherin DeNev. She shared the news on her Instagram, alongside a heart-wrenching caption. Just a few hours before his sudden death, Paul Poloczek was seen at the NPC Worldwide Championships in Baden-Württemberg. SC

Arrgh of course your so right! Can't believe I forgot about that! but I guess I am more of a Love Boat than Married with children kind of guy!

Ahem, he was Jefferson Darcy on Married... With Children. Clearly his career defining role.

He's on a considerable number of the top teams in the DDP (10) and some of us considered him a 2023 name. So people don't need to go to the PWI website, the update is that his tumour has doubled in size in 6 month so proposed stem cell treatment has been axed and they're looking for alternative treatment. (As in chemo, not as in alt-medicine.)

Lester Piggott a good bet for many of us

MMMDP Form Guide #17 Dick Brewer Venerated surf-board designer, innovative, pioneering and all the usual stuff that makes for an obit. Plus his personality is mercurial to the point even surfing's online encylopedia of choice throws the word "moody" in right at the start. Surf's Joey Barton, Neil Young...or summat, then. His enigmatic tendencies include combining a life currently - ahem - lived at death's door with a perplexing refusal to fall off the wave sufficiently to offer anyone in this month's round of the DL Cup any points. Not that I'm bitter, or owt, but I'm just wondering if he's MMMDP gold as he catches his final big one.
