90 year old, oldest member of US Senate, just hospitalized for infection. Has the decline started?

Pointless thread closed.

Photo was taken in 1969. Eastwood and Michael Caine are now the only survivors from the group.

Still appears to be noticeably thinner than he was. Maybe he's on ozempic

I just hope the doctor who did his prostate exam doesn’t have hands like his.

Elite chat about the King’s piss.

I'd find it somewhat amusing if he didn't reach that greater an age than Feinstein, given she was a crumbling corpse for years while he's generally looked well for his age. But I don't think it'll be that soon.

The thread is about drinks. There's no stipulation that they have to be alcoholic drinks. We can discuss favourite tea or coffee blends there, fruit juices, fizzy water, anything! I would personally welcome suggestions for non-alcoholic cocktails for those occasions when one has to drive home.

Dutch footballer Bennie Muller has passed away aged 85. He played 426 games as a midfielder for Ajax between 1958-1970, becoming national champion five times with Johan Cruyff and coach Rinus Michels. He also was part of the Dutch National Team from 1960-1968, just before their succesful years and perhaps most importantly, part of my Dutch shadowlist in 2023.

Zevulun Charlop dead at 94.

Aye, been wonderin' myself if they'll accidentally hit the tipping point. I'm thinking the whips will be so keen to monitor the numbers here. Whatever the divisions in the party they'll want to avoid accidentally stumbling into a no confidence vote because if they depose Sunak the newbie wouldn't be able to speak in the Commons without being howled down by demands for an immediate election.

Holy fuck

Estelle is 44.

I’ll put it in with the date to make things clear. I should still be able to keep on top of this game.

Look, I don't have a problem with the straights, at the end of the day, how these straight people choose to live their lives behind closed doors is up to them, just so long as it's not in all our faces.

Also this (other than the end bit):

Tomorrow, I’ll be on a plane. LHR -> SIN -> SYD. Couple of days in Sydney then off to New Zealand. Third time there, first time on the South Island. Will be back in the UK on 14th Feb. This holiday has come not a moment too soon!

So disappointed about Tu Youyou's entry is so bland and doesn't mention Chucklevision and her sister Tu Meemee

The last 10 years regarding Schumacher have shown even all the money in the world can't buy miracles. If it was me I'd take death over what it sounds like Schumacher's gone through since the accident.

Scenes if the last ten years have just been leading up to one big wedding reception speech prank.

Not even in jest, please.

I never took you to be such a boring fucker

15 days into 2024 and we have our first hit of the year (as far as I'm aware!). Swindon have dispensed with the services of Michael Flynn, having given him a long-term contract in November (naturally), having won 3 of their past 15 matches (although they are just below mid-table in League Two). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67981867 This gives a hit to two players in this game, and it's a big moment at both ends of the board! First, @BuffaloPhilgets a 5th hit to reach 25% completion and, more importantly, move level with Commtech Sio Bibble at the foot of the table. But at the top of the table, @Great Uncle Bulgaria steals a march on 4 other players, including long-term leader Sly Ronnie, to become the first player to reach halfway with 10 hits! But never fear, there is hope for the rest of us as, for him to win, de Zerbi needs to leave Brighton, Saint Ange needs to leave Spurs and he has the managers of the teams currently 3rd and 4th in the Championship! But who knows in this game! Anything's possible... Scoreboard Great Uncle Bulgaria - 10 Sly Ronnie, Wannamaker, Lady Fiona, Rover and Out - 9 Bibliogryphon, Diego - 7 MariNisia, Maryportfuncity - 6 Commtech Sio Bibble, Buffalo Phil - 5
