But his eating habits are terrible. His usual McDonalds order consists of something like 4 burgers and a milkshake. Obesity is just as bad as being a chain smoker, kinda wish it had the same social stigma.

Definite Weekend At Bernie's vibe there

Who was, for those playing at home, also born 27 May 1923

I looked at the photo and thought "we're going to be very thin on the ground in a few year's time". Ages from left to right: 87, 76, 78, 68, 72, 74, 75, 40, 41, 58, 86, 59. In a decade's time, the Duke of Kent is unlikely to still be here, the Gloucesters will be in their late 80s, Anne in her early 80s, the King and Queen in their mid-80s, the Edinburghs pushing 70 and Princess Alexandra probably no more. William and Kate will be 50-odd, George will be 20 but Charlotte and Louis will still be in their mid-teens. Unless Harry comes in from the cold, the only other options are Beatrice and Eugenie and James and Louise.

Congrats @MariNisia 1923 - William P. Murphy/Gertrude Ehrlich 1924 - Russel Nelson/Madeleine Riffaud 1925 - Anthony Mason/Carla Balenda 1926 - Emmanuel Kardinal Wamala/Amelita Ramos 1927 - Harry M. Markowitz/Rosalynn Carter 1928 - Nicholas Rescher/Ruth Westheimer 1929 - Archbishop Anastasios/Rebecca Schull 1930 - Norman Podhoretz/Sue Johanson 1931 - Adolfo Pérez Esquivel/Vivian Pickles 1932 - Gerhard Richter/Anouk Aimeé

Well, in this interview, he did say: "It will come to a head before this year is out."

Already a hit for you with Durrance.

I don't think OK is credible enough to warrant any concern.

Yes it was I think.

I could see the title being "Le Pen de mort for Jean-Marie." It's a play on words ("la peine de mort" refers to capital punishment/death penalty in French and "peine" is pronounced just like "Pen").

Going to mention it here as I'll probably forget when it becomes pertinent: Rollins is one of only two people (out of 57) captured in the famous photograph A Great Day In Harlem still alive. The other is Benny Golson, also a DDP pick this year.

I think this might be it. 89 is a dangerous age for an old comic - Max Bygraves, Eric Sykes, Bill Maynard, Warren Mitchell etc

I would like for the Vatican to make public ALL the items, documents, books and any thing else they are keeping under key. 1. To start with: When the Māori Stone statues were discovered on Easter Island, the Catholic priests found wood plaques with information on them that is said to have described the meaning and origins of each statue. These plaques were by each body/head, and the priests just took them - effectively wiping out important information about that culture. 2. Did the Vatican help Hitler? Did Hitler & co. really escape to Spain/South America after WW2? 3. What info does the Vatican have about ET? Are there/they shape-shifting reptilians? 4. Are they holding one of the immortal apostles captive? Or is that the Mormon/LDS Church?

Ronald Isley is 81. Ronald sang his biggest hit when he was 18 (in 1959)- and last year, the Isley Brothers released a new song:

Philip Heymann (wiki), U.S. Deputy Attorney General under Clinton (1993–1994) and one of the Watergate prosecutors, dead at 89.

Matteo Salvini says Berlusconi is not well, but will "pull through, being the fighter he is" https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210514-berlusconi-not-very-well-but-will-bounce-back-salvini Article also mentions that according to an unconfirmed report his condition has become worse due to an intestinal infection. So, will he bounce back and live another 10 years hospitalized frequently or die next week?

How about a president's woman? Anna Chennault, a Chinese-born writer and business executive who married a storied American general and became a Washington hostess, Republican Party activist and secret emissary for candidate Richard Nixon during the 1968 presidential campaign, died March 30 at her home in Washington. She was 94. She had complications from a recent stroke. Chennault gained international fame in 1947, when she married a swashbuckling World War II hero, Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, in Shanghai. At the beginning of the war, he organized the Flying Tigers, a volunteer group of American airmen in China, then a U.S. ally. He was three decades her senior. SC

Chris Bonington is on Meet The Author on BBC News. Looking extremely well. One to bear in mind though, now he's in his 80s...

Junko Tabei, the first woman atop Everest (1975), has died aged 77. She was also the first woman to conquer the 'seven summits'.

He was, anyway.

ignore the piece of trash, he's just a flame-spammer, purposely starting shit, just to get reactions, like the 12 year old that he is. :)

I had never before seen this Joey Deacon guy; I thought that Anubis' animationist avatar was the DL's #7: Norman Wisdom! Also, soory for being off-topic.
