Ophelia Burks (1903-2018) was validated by the GRG to have lived 114 years and 337 days. Ophelia was the oldest living American after Delphine Gibson's death and she is the oldest validated person ever who lived in Louisiana (surpassed Eunice Sanborn's (1896-2011) record - 114 years, 195 days).

Michael Parkinson should be up there. He is 89 next year and based on a recent TV interview he doesn't look well.

Heard a rumour this morning that he's performed one more beach landing...crawled out of a dinghy in Dover!

Several people downvoted re-releases as a matter of principle in previous rounds yet Bluebells seem to have got a free pass. Not that I mind particularly given it's one of the better ones in a pile of mostly dross, just saying....Still a few left in the 'even worse than Mr Blobby' category.

@Gisooo @tracy Can you help me check if Ralph Hart (Imdb) is still alive? I saw in radaris a Ralph Hart with same birth month and year, and living in Yucaipa which fits the description of a small desert town in California according to a blog about his whereabouts. He is marked as deceased but no details were given.

So downvoted a cover which always annoyed me. Also, if a 90s lad can admit Relight My Fire (or indeed, any Take That song) has some merit, it must do.

I get that, but why not carry the quote and reply to a more relevant thread? I’m not gnashing my teeth and renting my hair about it, just mildly disappointed.

The Genesis P-Orridge thread.

Stfu this isn’t popularity contest, it’s a list to most accurately predict the 50 most likely people to die who would get significant press in any given year. How are people still fucking complaining about this. No one gives a shit whether Lord Fellatio Nelson knows about some celeb. Move on.
