Reports that actress Joyce Randolph has died: Awaiting the usual.

This is not true. Sorry

Alec Musser, who appeared in All My Children after winning I Wanna Be A Soap Star, has died aged 50. Obituaries: Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, The Sun

Fascinating.

His popularity is irrelevant. He may have conned thousands into voting Conservative, but he's still a lying, faithless, unscrupulous cunt whose only motives are his own betterment and profit. He was not fit to be in the same room as Her late Majesty.

Good good, that's the round! Decent choices, there. Soz, forgive me, I'll start a new round once I've familiarised the odd few songs on the list I don't know by name. 1968-69 coming up shortly!

My New Predictions of 2024 Juan Vicente Pérez Mora: Will reach his 117th birthday in 2026, becoming the first man to do so. Maria Branyas Moreira: Will pass away sometime in 2024. I predict around the age of 116 years & 329 days, or 117 years & 49 days, or 117 years & 104 days, but I don't think she'll reach 117. Edie Ceccarelli: Will inherit the title of WOLP if Maria Branyas Moreira passes away at 116-329. She will celebrate her 116th birthday in February, but will sadly pass away in March. Inah Canabarro Lucas: Will become WOLP at some point, be the last living person from 1908, and will surely reach her 116th birthday in June 2024. I have a feeling she will be our next validated 118 year old. Ethel Caterham: May reach her 115th birthday in 2024, but will not break Charlotte Hughes's record. Will never become the WOLP, sadly. Elias Chavez Alvarez: Will never be validated, but will sadly pass away before reaching his claimed 116th birthday on 08 November 2024. Santos Cruz Flores: I have no idea. Francis Zouein: I have no idea. Josias de Oliveira: Will become validated at some point in the future, but will also not be the last surviving man from 1911, as Gisaburo Sonobe will outlive him too. Will likely see his 113th birthday this year on 21 October, but will not see his 114th. Gisaburo Sonobe: Will outlive Josias de Oliveira and become the last surviving man born in 1911. He will also outlive Juan Vicente Pérez Mora and take the title as WOLM in summer/late 2026. John Tinniswood: Will beat Henry Allingham's record of 113 years & 42 days, becoming the oldest man ever from the U.K. He however will not become the WOLM, as his lifespan will coincide with Gisaburo Sonobe's. Horacio Celi Mendoza, Tomas Pinales Figuereo, Anisio Rodrigues Alves, Kame Uema, Mauro Ambriz Tapia, Josias de Oliveira, & Otilio Dominguez Santos will become validated. Julio Motta Salinas, Alvaro Jose de Souza, Alexandria Dolghier, Wang Sunshi, & Pedro Antonio Rodrigues will become debunked. MY PREDICTIONS THAT CAME TRUE: - The validations of Seki Yoshida, Charlotte Krestchmann, & Klavdiya Gadyuchkina. - The debunking of Joe Baker, Gonçalino Norberto, and Lorenzo Cayunao Millan. - Gisaburo Sonobe outliving Reuben Sinclair and becoming the last validated man from 1911. - Juan Vicente Pérez Mora outliving Efrain Antonio Rios Garcia. - Efrain Antonio Rios Garcia becoming the last validated man from 1910, and outliving Seliman Bandang, Eusebio Quintero Lopez, Victor Chanca Santos, and Mikizo Ueda. However, I predicted that Otilio Dominguez Santos would be the last surviving man from 1910 if I included unvalidated cases I thought were plausible. Efrain outlived him by only 22 days. - Otilio Dominguez Santos reaching his 113th birthday, and outliving Mauro Ambriz Tapia. He beat his record by 39 days. - João Da Missanga becoming validated, however he was validated at age 110, whereas I predicted he would be validated at age 115 or 116. I also predicted wrong, as he was validated while still living. - Tripolino Giannini passing away before 20 February 2024, at the age of 111

Why do the worst things always happen to the best people?

Someone please lock this fucking thread.

I have insider information. They are going to smuggle him physician assisted suicide pills from California to help end his suffering. He is going to take them on Jan 15th since the hospice charges by the half month starting on the 1st and 16th. This way he saves his family a little money as well as the fact he is in an extraordinary amount of pain.

Frederik IX of Denmark died on this day 52 years ago, aged 72. - Frederik was the son of king Christian X, and had 21 godparents. In his youth he had a passion for music and was an avid piano player. - Frederik entered the Danish Navy, reaching the rank of rear admiral and gaining several tattoos during service: - Frederik served as regent for his father from 1942 to 1943 after he fell from his horse- King Christian died in 1947, and Frederik became king. During his reign, the Faroe Islands became an autonomous region within the country, Denmark quickly developed its urban areas, and he changed the act of succession so his daughters could rule. - After a 25-year reign, Frederik died from complications from a cardiac arrest. His daughter Margrethe II became queen- she is to abdicate today.

He lied to her in order to get her to prorogue Parliament - a move which turned out to be illegal and put her in constitutional hot water. As Prime Minister he did more to disrespect her than any of his predecessors or successors. If he stayed for any length of time in their last meeting it’s because he overstayed his welcome, much the same as when he clung on as Prime Minister.

C-Team DDP pick and AltObits pick for me. Very neat, as well, picked after a one-tweet mention on twitter.

No better place to be stuck a most beautiful island

I think this is perhaps being unfairly misconstrued because the mushroom story is too good not to print. The Princess Royal made the call for The King to come to Balmoral because she was deteriorating, but at that point it was expected there was days not hours. The King and Queen were at the late Queen’s bedside for an hour on the morning of her passing, and as the medical advice was days not hours they then went for a walk to clear their heads (understandable given not only the imminent passing of a loved one but also a monumental change that was about to occur). They were there on the morning, she seemed stable, they went for a walk, and got the call that she had passed. In the days prior it was apparent it was the beginning of the end, but I think it all occurred quicker than they expected. The fact she had put the sealed letters in her red box the day before she passed clearly shows she was conscious to that point and aware of what was occurring.

My dad doesn’t give a fuck about it.

Juan Vicente Perez Mora is now nearly 2.5 years older than the 2nd oldest living man and 3 years and 3 months older than the 3rd oldest living man

Well done, I, and everyone else completely forgot about him, even though he was obviously the clock.

Correct. Ray Anthony and Janis Paige are now the last living individuals born in 1922 with a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Done.

In case you missed it, here is Jimmy Carter at his New Year's Eve Party.
