Scottish journalist ,former ITN news presenter and current official DeathList alumni Sandy Gall celebrates his 95th birthday today.

Happy 98 birthday Jimmy Carter!

On this day three years ago in 2019 Liverpool born british journalist, broadcaster and News Presenter Peter Sissons died aged 77.

We now await The Engineer and another conspiracy theory, ya know, The Queen ain't dead. Nope, she just disappeared to live her remaining days in South America with Jim Morrison and anybody who was involved in the funeral is being bumped off coz they know too much.

Ram Nath Kovind is 77 today Chen-Ning Yang is 100 today Theresa May is 66 today

French icon, Yvonne Furneaux, who also starred in La Dolce Vita, turned 96 this year. Definitely one to consider. French icon, Leslie Caron, who starred in An American in Paris, Father Goose, Gigi (amongst others) turned 91 this year, so another one to consider!

Well, now Yang Chen-Ning is 100. Not sure if any birthday pictures have been released atleast yet. I recall he was quite frail a few years ago

Might be his last birthday.

Retired American actress Stella Stevens turns 84 today. One of her most famous films was The Poseidon Adventure.

The Russian backed heads of the four newly annexed regions of Ukraine might be worth a shot (perhaps literally, as well as metaphorically) Yevgeny Balitsky - Zaporizhzhia Vladimir Saldo - Kherson, Denis Pushilin - Donetsk 'People’s Republic' Leonid Pasechnik - Luhansk 'People’s Republic' Historically, politicians who collaborate with invading forces often face a day of reckoning and this bunch, as well as their little friend, will be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives. I'm not sure they'll all make old bones...

Frankly, I don't care anymore. He's a bully, nothing more, nothing less. These votes are meaningless and unrepresentative but he doesn't care about that, he's just a little fascist, the latest in a long line who all end the same way. He's getting hammered on the battlefield so he's taken the coward's way out, despite declaring in March when he launched this tinpot invasion that absorbing Donetsk and Luhansk into Mother Russia was not on the agenda. So he's threatening nuclear armageddon? Big deal. He's threatened it before and he knows how it ends if he does, as do his ever diminishing band of snivelling cronies. If they're going to allow him to launch a nuclear attack, they're as bad as he is. I imagine in his desperate little head, this is his masterstroke. If Ukraine agree to peace terms on these borders, he has his longed for land bridge to Crimea. I'm hoping the opposite is true: now he's placed these areas of sovereign Ukraine on the same level as occupied Crimea, he's not got a leg to stand on. Ukraine will free Kherson, Zaporizhia, Luhansk and Donetsk and just carry straight on to Odessa and free Crimea while they're at it. The world is absolutely shit, but I do quite like living in it and I'd rather not live through a nuclear holocaust but if we let him get away with this like we did Crimea, next it will be Kiev, or Riga, or Vilnius. He has to be stopped, whatever the cost.

Antonio Inoki QO. Five DDP teams picked him.

French icon, Yvonne Furneaux, who also starred in La Dolce Vita, turned 96 this year. Definitely one to consider.

He isn't. That requires giving up power. Day-by-day he is backing himself further into a corner. We are now at the point where he either gets overthrown, a major proxy war breaks out (already happening in a way), or Nuclear options/WW3. The question now is how serious will he take the recently annexed portions. The U.S and its allies will keep supplying arms that will be used in 'Russian' territory. Does Putin consider that a direct act of war or will he keep the status quo assuming eventually he'll win. That's the major question. World War 3 is unlikely as Russia has no major allies in this fight. I'm inclined to think he'd only use nuclear weapons if he was literally at the end of the plank. It's more likely we see another Korea, Vietnam, Middle East, etc.

Its 48 years since the assassination of Carlos Parts & his wife Sofia Cuthbert. Prats had been Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Army, and also a minister in Salvador' Allende's government, until resigning amidst unrest. His second-in-command , Augusto Pinochet, who was thought to be loyal to Allende, and also recommended by Prats, was made C-in-C. This appointment removed any obstruction to a military coup and Allende was subsequently ousted. Immediately following the coup. Prats and Cuthbert exiled themselves to Argentina. Barely a year later, both were killed by a car bomb after leaving their apartment in Buenos Aires. It was later learnt that the bomb was the work of the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional, the Chilean Secret Police, as part of Operation Condor, the US-backed campaign to remove opposition to right-wing governments in South America.

Usually I'm not one to post such things, but... God damnit, can't he just fucking die?

I'm enjoying reading the archived obits. The Ruby Muhammad one is a classic. Now I need to find out what the hell a bean pie is. I'm very rarely around this site, and I'm absolute shit at the game, but I sure do enjoy it. My co-workers think I'm unbelievably morbid participating in and tracking the Deadpool, but honestly, Death comes for us all in the end. Why not have some fun with it along the way?

Yes, August has been very productive so far

Dude is healthy and moves better than me and I'm a third his age. But he is too big to miss thatshow he was picked again
