Barry Sussman, city news editor at the Washington Post during Watergate and subsequent reporting, dead: https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2022/06/02/barry-sussman-watergate-washington-post-dead/

I’ve always thought she’ll make 98 at the very least and even now I can’t see any reason why she wouldn’t.

I would not put money on the Queen dying before May 2024

The man is a sociopath unable to show an ounce of contrition but we should all accept his apology and "taking responsibility".What a joke.

Outlaw Country songwriter Hal Bynum has died at 87 from Alzheimer's and a stroke: https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/575079881/country-songwriter-hal-bynum-has-passed-away He wrote songs for Kenny Rogers and Johnny Cash, among many other names.

I think they should have put a picture up of the Queen sitting alone and masked up at Philips funeral just as Blow Jo and Carie Antoinette walked in.

At 96, nothing is certain but I've seen nothing these past few days which makes me think 2 more years at least is unfeasible.

From "Booze For Boris" to "Boos For Boris" as he is roundly booed while entering St Pauls for the service of thanksgiving. Smirked his way up the steps anyway.

Blaze is marking the Jubilee with a 12-hour "Hardcore Pawn" marathon, so I'm now a royalist.

Frank Clarke, who played for QPR, Ipswich and Carlisle @maryportfuncity, and who was inducted into Shrewsbury Town's Hall of Fame (gasp), reportedly dead aged 79:

Found out a couple of Disney legends from the 50's appeared for an online convention a month ago, which is quite a surprise. David Frankham (95) who voiced Sgt. Tibbs in the 1961 version of 101 Dalmatians Margaret Kerry (93) who voiced Tinker Bell in the 1953 version of Peter Pan Donnie Dunagan (87) who voiced young Bambi in the 1942 namesake film Peter Behn (87) who voiced young Thumper in the 1942 version of Bambi

Forget the Platty Jubbly, or whatever the young people are calling it, the big date is in about 9 days when she officially moves past King Bhumibol of Thailand into second place on the all time list of longest-reigning monarchs. After that it is the end of May 2024 to go past Louis XIV as the no. 1 of all time, and that is unlikely ever to be beaten. Unfortunately it seems a bit unlikely she'll reach that milestone.

Baseball legend Lou Gehrig passed away on this date in 1941, aged 37, of Lou Gehrig's Disease.... in hindsight, he probably should've seen that coming (I didn't look back but I have to imagine this joke's been made before)

Not attending the Thanksgiving service tomorrow after experiencing some discomfort today statement by Buckingham Palace That'll be the Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer then.........

Margaret Kerry was the model of Tinker Bell not the voice. Tinker has no voice. Plus I am surprised you didn't knew it they are still alive There are also many others alive like Cate Bauer, Roddy Maudde-Roxby, Mary Costa, Lisa Davis, Moncia Evans etc

American professional boxer and activist Muhammad Ali died on this day 6 years ago, aged 74. Mexican-American actor Anthony Quinn died on this day 21 years ago, aged 86. Iranian political and religious leader who served as the first supreme leader of Iran from 1979 until his death in 1989 Ruhollah Khomeini died on this day 33 years ago, aged 86. American politician and lawyer from Illinois Stephen Douglas died on this day 161 years ago, aged 48.

Don't jinx yourself.

Arthritis does that. She's probably saving herself for the Derby.

From today, celebrating the Jubilee.
