She was 96 and not well, so she probably did have an inkling.

Russia is chaotically retreating from Cherson right now. It's apparently a bloodbath. Things are moving quickly again now after Ukraine built a lot of pressure over weeks and weeks.

One week since starting this thread and I must say I am really amazed at how much progress has been made on the master list in this time. Thank you all for your contributions. We still have a few years without any entries, so I will make another mini-list for artists born in those years who I would like to see some advances on.

British-born Indian educator, philanthropist and founder of Springdales School Padma Shri Rajni Kumar dead at 99. Ancient Sarangi player Pandit Ram Narayan who toured Europe and the US in the 60s looks quite frail in recent pictures. 95 next month and has been obese his whole life.

Legendary Indian singer Sandhya Mukherjee (wiki), who just made the headlines for refusin Padma Shri, hospitalised after fall and lung infection.

The young fat fool is flexing his muscles, but if he does anything militaristic from here- on, then his game is up in short time. His idiot call.

S'pose we could set up an unofficial three header pope vs dalai vs maharishi but - I mean - Sexy Sadie's gotta be the loser there, surely.

Re the world's oldest being 'soft' targets. If you hit them I'd guess some of the skinnier ones would be pretty boney. Not exactly soft.

M.Lawrenson Thanks for your contribution and respect to your site. I don't know why I couldn't get the link directly to the Williamson accident photos but hopefully those who used my link found the rest of your site interesting. Are you sure Piers Courage's De Tomaso was made of Magnesium? I thought car builders had learned the hard way at Le Mans and that Courage had an alloy car - with a fair percentage of magnesium - in which the company had gambled he'd have a chance to get out before a fire started. How much of Courage was left when they'd doused the flames? Judging from the car body he'd have been taken away in a shoebox.

And there goes another one.... World's Oldest Man Dies Grim Reapers suggestion seems more and more appropriate. Oh, and Frenzy - your pick of James Rockefeller was certainly prescient - he died August!
