Thank you for another update only you think it's an actual update.

The first celebrity death that I remember was that of Ernest Borgnine, but the one I remember even better was Margaret Thatcher when I was 9 - I was sat in Sainsbury's cafe with my mum, saying something like "she was a great woman" (all i knew about her was that she was the first female prime minister) and my mum said "no, she really wasn't" then said what she'd done. My hatred of the tories started not too long after that

Joseph Bernard Gildenhorn (wiki) dead at 94. George H. W. Bush era diplomat.

Olympedia have just updated their page for Robert Collins (wiki) to say that he died nearly 12 years ago in January 2012! Whoops.

Doug "the Nostalgia Critic" Walker is 42. ...I remembered his birthday so you don't have to.

Times obit for John "Jelly" Horton, aged 77, saxophonist who was a member of 60s psychedelic pop band The End (wiki). Band supported the Rolling Stones but never made it big, Horton quit, then went on to have a successful career as an advertising guru in the 70s.

Has at least 10 tour dates planned for the early part of 2024

Beginning to think she will see her 65th birthday

Four-time All-Star forward Johnny Green, who spent 15 seasons with six different teams, died at 89 years: https://www.si.com/nba/knicks/news/new-york-knicks-obituary-johnny-green-rebounder-dies-at-89

I recently read about a reunion for the Shadow F1 team employees. Most significant team members were there, but one missing due to 'ill health' was former team boss and Grand Prix driver Alan Rees. Might be worth considering, especially for a theme team. He'll obit With a QO without too many issues.

That report says Spider Stacy, his old Pogues bandmate, has been to visit him now. Spider lives in New Orleans so if he's rushed off to Dublin now, that doesn't sound great news for Shane imo...

IF he makes it, the committee should be bold and put him at no. 1. Jimmy Carter isn't dying anyway

I was recently chatting to work colleague about the Magnificent Seven - and it occurred to us that none of the seven are still with us (although I am open to correction on this point) - Eli Wallach is still just about going (No 38 on this years list) - but he was a bad guy. We then got onto the subject of who was left from the Great Escape (like you do) and the only only one we could think of was James Garner - so my suggestion for one to watch this year is good ol' Jim Rockford - based only on the fact that every other star in the film is brown bread. If only he had told Donald Pleasance to get stuffed before he escaped. DWB

She looks better than her younger husband to be honest. I can see him going first

And some clips from the interview: https://x.com/bbcbreakfast/status/1724701259356135433?s=46&t=8wIlQ43b9SxaQrrsf4MLtA https://x.com/bbcbreakfast/status/1724684795286782199?s=46&t=8wIlQ43b9SxaQrrsf4MLtA

I have a good feeling (judging by his latest photo) he will be gone before January 1st. Last hit of the year; it must be extremely heartbreaking for his wife to see him like this. let him be at peace he has struggled for far too long, sheesh.

I'm thinking an edibles business. A lot of people in legalized marijuana states have switched to edibles.

I've been watching hockey since the late 1980's. I've never seen anyone, and I mean anyone, do what this guy did on this play. It's a completely unnatural hockey play; it's not something that could happen where it's an "accident" that might occur during a normal hockey play where something goes awry. As an example, you might get a check wrong into the boards, you might get the timing wrong and bury a guy into the glass from behind and get a match penalty (ejection) for boarding or something. What this dude did is intent to injure, PERIOD. And when that happens, it deserves prosecution. There is certainly precedent for that, with the 2000 Marty McSorley/Donald Brashear incident and the 2004 Todd Bertuzzi/Steve Moore incident. Neither McSorley nor Bertuzzi did any jail time, but both were found guilty (or pled guilty) to crimes. In this case, we have a guy who died as a result of this intent to injure. I'm sure that his intention wasn't to kill the guy, but that's irrelevant. He's going to get convicted and he's going to do jail time, and deservedly so.

Continuing Arghton's List: Only one validated man remains from 1909, 1910, and 1911, but the amount of documented men from 1911 is still quite a bit. Most of them appear to be in good shape. Here is a full, in depth list of the last known men remaining from before 1912: Validated Men: Juan Vicente Pérez Mora (27 May 1909) health has been stable for years. He doesn't even take daily medications! His personal physician said that at the time of his 113th birthday, he could easily live many more years. Efrain Antonio Rios Garcia (04 April 1910) increasingly frail over the last 2 years. Gisaburo Sonobe (06 November 1911) not enough information, although apparently he can still walk and has most of his original teeth. Documented Men: Otilio Dominguez Santos (15 June 1910) increasingly frail and wheelchair-bound. According to his great granddaughter, he has no health issues. Francis Zouein (01 January 1911) suspicious birthdate, but apparently he has good documentation. Could still dance unaided as recently as May. Abilio Borges Moreira (09 September 1911) unknown. Confirmed alive privately for his 112th birthday. Josias de Oliveira (21 October 1911) could still walk with a cane on his 112th birthday last month. Described by family as "robust". Undocumented/Claimaints: Samwel Mburia (1906) no way this guy's 117. His actual birthdate is not even known. Looks about 90 to me. Wheelchair-bound. Jose Flores Flores (11 July 1907) red flags. Possible identity switch early in life, but this is only speculation. More frail in recent years, but could still walk unaided on his 115th birthday in July 2022. I doubt he's 116, but he's the oldest man I wouldn't rule out. Elias Chavez Alvarez (08 November 1908) very frail. Could move from his wheelchair to his bed on his 114th birthday with the aid of a bar, but that was the limit of his mobility. ID card from 1994 supports 1908 birthdate. Santos Cruz Flores (01 November 1909) frail. Could still walk unaided at the time of his 114th birthday. Documentation actually does exist that supports his claimed birthday, but we have to make sure it belongs to the same Santos alive today. According to his grandson, he is in pretty good health except for his eyesight which has begun to fail this past year. Alvaro Jose de Souza (14 February 1910) considered "plausible" by professional researchers. Could still walk unaided for his 112th birthday in February 2022. Seems frail this past year. Selvino Jesus de Oliveira (July 1910) looks way too young to be a supercentenarian. I'd say he is about 80-85. However, his case was researched by professionals and nothing against him has been found so far. But nothing supporting his case has come up either. Pedro Antonio Rodrigues (12 December 1910) someone claimed he was actually born in 1925 but has not provided any proof. Looks oddly young and is oddly mobile for a supercentenarian. I'd believe the 1925 theory if said person produced actual evidence. Sebastian Catalan (20 January 1911) frail years ago. Milan Q doesn't think he's 112.

That should bring his legal dispute to a close. Had a feeling it was true, somebody jumped the gun. Thanks tracy.

According to my dream I saw last night Sir Paul Mcartney and Sir Ringo Starr also will die in a plane crash together

Congratulations, best wishes to you, may you have a wonderful day
