George Cohen dead at 83.

I hope Janis Paige and Jacqueline White, who are some of the last surviving actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood make it to 104 just like Marsha Hunt.

Meh! I wasn't going to approve this one 'cos she's been mentioned in the Fleetwood Mac thread, but I suppose she was a songwriter too. (Don't hate me)

Emperor Akihito is 89.

Just watching BBC newsday where they just showed a short interview with David Hockney.Looks and sounds weak and ill.

Did strike me earlier that 2023 is a perfect opportunity for the Cmme to utterly smash their record if they wanted to. The likely holdovers from 2022 are either notoriously old (Kissinger, Carter), ill (Charlton, Starmer-Smith, Pele, Whale), or known frail people (Tebbit). The potential returnees include Joanne Woodward (very ill for a decade), Linda Nolan (Stage IV cancer), Pope Benedict (looks like a corpse), Willie Nelson (seriously ill earlier this year, and 90 next year), Nigel Lawson (last legs for ages now), and Liza Minelli (very badly il at the Oscars) Gravely ill people who feel very DLy include George Alagiah, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Frank Field, Rolf Harris, Roberta Flack, and Johnnie Irwin. Not been so many "yeah they're obviously DL" dying names to my mind since 2009. Ill folk they could easily go for include Andy Taylor, Frank McGarvey, Steve McMichael. (I dont care about your fame thoughts, they picked Bill Gate's dad, case closed.) Then there's your frail/sick/just old names who feel DLy: Fay Weldon, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, David Graham, William Russell, Pat Robertson, Sandra Day O'Connor, Dennis Skinner, Topol, Ruth Buzzi, Sonny Rollins, etc etc. Def feel like over 20 is possible with a great, well chosen, list.

Lt. Col Chen Ping Ching, possibly the last living member of the Flying Tigers, dead at 104.

Ones I don't see on anyone else's list are Jane Goodall, Bill Cosby, Bill Gaither, Richard Simmons, Michael J Fox, John Aston, Russ Tamblyn, Carol Baskin, Gary Busey, Marsha Warfield, Terry Bradshaw, Hulk Hogan, Bruce Willis, and Joseph James DeAngelo.

It sounds like a bad joke. Damn poor guy, immortal potential right ?

Ebrahim Golestan, Iranian director, literary critic, author and politician, is 100 today. He's lived in Sussex, UK (Wykehurst Place) since 1975. Picture above is from a 2020 interview.

And he would be the fifth centenarian Nobel laureate ever, following Levi-Montalcini, Coase, Ed Fischer and John B. Goodenough. Gee, Kissinger or Carter have to keep on to have at least one Peace Prize laureate on that list!

German pathologist Ekkehard Grundmann (Wiki) reported dead at 100

Sadly we lost her, we're waiting for a obit

Edgar Morin is turning 100 today : Happy bday !

Had a diagnosis of Cancer at the back of my tongue last October, and was told it was big, I left it too long, and recovery was nowhere near a given. So had all remaining teeth removed to remove risk of infection during treatment, six weeks of daily radiotherapy, 4 chemo cycles, 18 days on and off in hospital when stomach packed up, and brain frying was at its worst. I had my 3 month scan after treatment finish, and DONE IT !! BEAT THE FUCKER !! CANCER FREE. Right choice not playing Deathlist cup because of it, as I was away with the fairies end of February...hang on who am I kidding I would have got that far !!!! Anyways, need op to have my jaw sorted out after tooth op issues, and replacement teeth at some stage when covid buggers off, cant eat a lot of foods, cant drink alcohol cos it hurts mouth too much, got little taste or smell and a load of other things not right yet. but hell, I can deal with all that shit. Anyone else got some positive stories about themselves or families, Covid recoveries etc, please add them. Forum topic in an Inverse Stylee.

What is this 11 million figure? and i stand by my original statement, that the 'Communists' you mentioned so distorted Marxism that it can barely be called it.
