Hospitalised

Just thought I’d mention that it was my birthday today. I would have been officially classed as a pensioner but, thanks to our government, I’ll have to wait another year before I can claim that honour.

Aldo Scavarda died "some years ago" according to Corriere delle Sera.

Or is he stuck at the 50 spot until he dies?

Oh the comparison of the ISIS guy's tenure in office to Liz Truss damn near killed me.

C. R. Rao is an unique hit for @WEP CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Chinese politician An Lifu (Chinese wiki) dead at 105 after receiving "ministerial treatment".

Oops! Well spotted. My apologies.

I haven't quite entered my "sitting in basement hammering F5" era yet. Maybe if X ever breaks down and I lose my media list, I'll start doing it to keep up my DL reputation.

Mirror Man > Fascination.

Ali Sadpara has now been pronounced dead...here and there: https://www.globalvillagespace.com/pakistan-loses-iconic-climber-ali-sadpara/ Edit: There's also a BBC article of yesterday, if we're looking at QOs...but while it speaks of him in the past tense, it does not yet say that he died - which is the requirement of the rules: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56022457

He will mean bugger all to everybody else but to the residents of a Norfolk town he was a legend. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/much_loved_king_s_lynn_busker_juggling_jim_has_died_1_4860369 RIP Jim.
