Kabosu has turned 18, well done! https://www.instagram.com/p/CzGZ6_PPGra/?hl=de

John Hemingway (wiki), 104, returned to his old school in September, 86 years after leaving (new photo of him in article). Hemingway says he doesn't understand why he's still alive. A sentiment I'm sure @drol shares. Sir Lloyd Geering (wiki), 105, hasn't been heard from since March when he kicked up a fuss about the New Zealand Government not doing enough to tackle climate change. I thought Hemingway would die first given that he's been in a home for years but if "keeping up appearances" is anything to go by, Geering will probably go first.

ALS activist Ady Barkan has died at 39. RIP.

Also revealed this week that Portuguese sailor Francisco de Andrade (wiki) died in April 2021, aged 97. He was listed as living up until yesterday so was presumed to be a centenarian. De Andrade was a bronze medallist in the 1952 Games.

Well, that changed things didn't it? I preferred that. More genuine battles now we're not counting the bodies. Let's stick with that for now. Anyway, it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new round. As ever, some of these are fucking mint, others are fucking shit. 1996-97 Thu 2 Nov 24 Underworld — Born Slippy +4 20 Bluetones — Slight Return 20 3T — Anything 20 Robert Miles — Children 20 Mark Snow — The X-Files 20 Manic Street Preachers — A Design For Life 20 Peter Andre — Mysterious Girl 20 Robbie Williams — Freedom 20 Los Del Rio — Macarena 20 3T ft.

Santos Cruz Flores's 114th birthday confirmed https://www.facebook.com/100007820623340/posts/3603877953216190/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v According to his grandson, he is still in relatively good health, although his eyesight is starting to fail. Praise God, that his 114th birthday has officially been confirmed! Praise God, the most high!

You’re going to be full throttle irritating until 2024 DL is released aren’t you? Same shite every year.

I genuinely got an A* in my maths GCSE. Incredible, isn't it? Thanks for rectifying!

Aw man, a win/win moment worth sharing Oxfam are £1-99 better off and I got the best laugh I've had in weeks.Didn't realise some gleefully callous author had trawled Trump's prodigious output of one-dimensional self-promoting shite to repurpose the tonnage of words into deep and meaningless poetic missives. Highly recommended!

2 years ago from yesterday, American psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck, who developed Cognitive behavior therapy passed away at the age of 100.

Pretty sure this thread would have done nicely. He ain't no Fanny Craddock or Keith Floyd.

Bobby Knight is a hit for me: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/01/sports/ncaabasketball/bobby-knight-dead.html

Despite the inevitable feuds and disputes, I still consider this little site a place of relative sanity compared to what’s going down in the 2023 ‘real world’. As young Mr Grace used to say: carry on, you’ve all done very well. But the real reason for my post is to pedantically point out that it’s currently 35 (almost 36) Years of the DL, not 28. It has now outlived that Jesus fellow.

Had occasion to look up Wendy Craig (ninety next year) and noted that she hasn't appeared in anything since 2019, nor seemingly been interviewed subsequently.
