The year is 2060. The DL still gets complaints even though it is now AI generated from the Who Should Appear annual list. There are forum games based around which of the old codger regulars on DL forum will be next to die. People still write posts on here about how surely this is Henry Kissinger's year now...

Rafiq Nishonov finally dead at 96.

Carole Cook dead at 98.

Why? If we were doing the 60s would you have downvoted every Beatles no 1 after She Loves You if the latter had won 62-63? I think it's a shame The Winner Takes it All wasn't supported partly because other Abba songs had qualifed previously as (along with The Day Before you Came) it's one of their best.

All in jest, squire…only joking Far more important….did you know Charlie Williams was actually a professional footballer who turned to comedy when he retired.

Oh no, I'm sure he's still a cunt.

Robert Wagner in middle Eva Marie Saint on the far right.

Dorothy Tristan dead at 88.

Pearl Harbor happened 81 years 1 month and 4 days ago. that same distance from Gettysburg, would have been July 7th, 1944. So we Yanks are experiencing with our WWII vets, what people were experiencing with their Civil War vets in the 1940s.

I had a pre-turn-in-my-DP teams discussion firstly about Jan Hammer who I discovered is still alive at 74, which led to Jeff Beck discussion and I’m like ‘Beck’s still performing’ but his age makes him a rock n roll outlier by a mile. Man, it’s crazy how us deadpoolers get a feeling about something but pass, only to read this today. RIP, great guitarist, and one of the best live albums around (see: Jan Hammer). SirC

Naomi Osaka is pregnant.

Diana Gabaldon, American author of Mexican-American and English ancestry who is the best-selling writer of the widely popular "Outlander" series of historical fantasy novels, the basis for the critically acclaimed Starz television series, is 71 today. Tony "The Jet Man" Pearson, the great professional bodybuilder and personal trainer, a legend in the bodybuilding community who was discovered by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was his mentor, and a 9-time world champion, including Mr. America and Mr. Universe, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee, is 66 today.

Owen Hart and Brodie Lee, two genuinely nice people in wrestling, got 75 years between them due to freak issues out of their control. Superstar's 80 this year. There's no justice, tbh.

A rather good wartime Ealing film is “The Halfway House” (1944) - Glynis plays a spooky Welsh girl and her real life father Mervyn, who was in near enough every British film of the era, plays her father. I think Glynis is the earliest credited survivor in Ealing’s films - her and Leslie Philips are probably the only major actors from their 1940s films since the death of Sally Ann Howes (“Dead of Night”, 1945) - and that feels very striking.

Rolf Harris.

Fingers crossed

Unfortunately not as the game has been going for three months and we already have several hits.

Aye, I only do the Cunto conversion for Advent/Christmas. You know, for the weans, they like it so. Gleeful December shouts of ‘Hiya, Sir Cunto’ can be heard across the land.

Just realised you've converted back to being a creep instead of a cunt-I approve!

Ryuichi Sakamoto

There's crossover with other threads, notably Boys of 1966, so people will have commented on him there.

Report of the death of Christopher Tucker (wiki), aged 76. British makeup artist who created the prosthetics on "The Elephant Man", "The Company of Wolves", "Julius Caesar" and the 1986 stage production of "The Phantom of the Opera". Won a BAFTA in 1982 for his work on "Quest For Fire".

https://www.seiska.fi/kotimaa/vesa-matti-loiri-onnettomuudessa-kuva-paljastaa-vauriot/1163756 V-M Loiri has been in some kind of an accident, didn't comment on it. Looks very great for someone who will be 77 in two months, especially considering his health history (check the post from August for it) I'm still convinced that he won't make it to 80, how are his organs even still working after 60 years of alcohol use and smoking (and all the other stuff he's used)?

We can now add the original duo of Silver Apples onto this list
