The oldest surviving post is 20 today! Guest KateS and her incorrect prediction didn't do much to earn the title, but let's all raise a glass to her.

The forum was new in 2003 (citing Grim Reaper here, this was before I found the forum googling who the fuck Randy Pausch was iirc!), The front page has gone through a variety of changes though. From 2009 to 2016 it was the best layout imo. You could check variations on the front page going back to the nineties (when it was the only page) but the Wayback Machine is currently having kittens and crashing.

Roy Roper dead at 100.

Lauch Faircloth seems to be a hit here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/14/us/politics/lauch-faircloth-dead.html

Congrats, GUB! Your knowledge of the non-league scene pays off for once! The first person to reach 2 hits!

Kikuyo Honma, oldest person in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, passed away on Sep 12 at 112. She was born on November 1st 1910 First 1910 death since birthday twin Louise Levy Hisao Ikeda, the second-oldest man in Japan, is reported to have died in August at 110 Both of the deceased were just validated by LQ a couple days ago So this potentially gives Robert and Waclaw new ammo; “being validated by LQ kills supercentenarians”

I've no objection to her being on the DL, only to her being worth a dedicated thread. She's very old and frail and that's all there is to say about her. Here we are on page 2 and all the talk has been about other people.

I don't know about class, but David Mitchell is one of those people whose voice sounds like someone's bottom making farting noises against a leather seat.

Je veux bien que tu me l’envoie !

je rajouterai "et malade". des chanteurs comme Pagny ou Hardy par exemple, ou encore Catherine Laborde en personnalité des médias, qui ne sont pas spécialement vieux mais dont la santé interroge.

Shaun Murphy, snooker player and film director Orson Welles

He's on iPlayer talking about I Claudius filmed recently. Bar his hair going whiter that man hasn't aged in three decades.

You have no idea why? Refer to the post that you quoted and you'll know.

Have noticed in the last day or so how many people are still going from 1927.Pick which celeb born in 1927 will last the longest.Last pick standing wins. I am going with June Brown

Well, 8 is the number in an Olympic athletics/swimming final. So, I'll take it!

I'd like to take 1000 people to watch Carlisle finally win the FA Cup, an ambition several degrees more doable and likely than 1000 humans on the second planet from the sun by 2050!
