Death notice for Sir John Conant, 2nd Baronet and WWII veteran aged 100: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/conant-notices_55344 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_John_Conant,_2nd_Baronet

Mildly curious find as I tot up the stats for last year - despite 2023 smashing the hits total, no individual month from it makes the top 10 of the "Most hits in a month" statistic. 31 hits are needed to make the top 10, and the closest was February with 30.

Maybe Jimmy Carter ? Heard he is sick

Tippi Hedren, American actress, is 94 today.

We'll know for certain if he starts grabbing it.

If that’s the case then Carter’s glory years were 2017-21.

May be of interest to some. Chuck Norris’ mum will turn 104 on her birthday. No news of her since May 2023.

I’m really surprised no one picked A.J. Foyt. An 89 year old auto racing legend with health issues could have been a great pick and he was on my long list.

Same here. The 'attending your own funeral' episode was especially good.

The past 2 episodes of The Traitors have been some of the best TV I've seen in a long time, I'm not usually a fan of reality TV but I am well and truly entranced.

Noticed she's doing another theatre date in March in Thame https://www.blogcliveconwayproductions.com/post/dame-patricia-routledge-will-perform-facing-the-music-at-the-players-theatre-alongside-edward-seckerson-on-17th-march-2024

Cheers! I was 95% sure it was MacMurray, but he seemed an odd one out, and the somewhat similar-looking Fonda was in Firecreek with James Stewart around this time. Eastwood and Marvin would hve been filming Paint Your Wagon together, and Hudson and Wayne The Undefeated.

Fred MacMurray and yes, Laurence Harvey

I am just in the process of booking my first overseas work trip since before COVID when I was in Ethiopia at the beginning of March 2020. I am in a different job now so this will be a bit different and it is only a week in Germany but I will be visiting three of my customers across the week

as horrible as his crime were, we're not in middle ages anymore. Violence doesn't resolve anything, prison for life is a better option.

Laurence Harvey's final wife, actress and model Paulene Stone is still alive despite having had cancer and is currently 82.

Since this seems to be the place where we point out mistakes: My theme-team pick James Thomson should be the renowned cell-biologist, not the child-molester millionaire architect. I'm guessing the latter was already on the data-base as he was described as terminally ill when he was convicted back in 2006. Presumably he is long dead, as he was described as only having a year to live. This however is my guy: James Thomson (cell biologist) - Wikipedia Also Keith Meldrum was born in 1937, not 1905 as stated.

A very long explanation of a man who knows trigger words. This is a large word salad that concludes with the ridiculous. I am very sure this indivedual is at best being funny. The actual thought of turning ones thoughts into plant life, although interesting, not something a man like Jimmy Carter would do. I am sure that President Carter is awaiting his reunion with his wife and just hoping it comes soon. Jimmy Carter may have come up short as a U.S. President, but he was a great humanitarian and actually quite inteligent. Lets give him a little more respect than this.

Hard to pick one. Derek Draper in terms of fame but a few others in terms of health.

SCOTUS will likely overturn it though (at least when it comes to the general when he's the nominee). You have state Supreme Courts from states on both sides of the aisle allowing him access, in the idea that voters should decide (which isn't a bad argument and likely has precedent with various other ballot access cases). No chance SCOTUS goes in favor of disallowing access. Not with how the Court is made up at the moment.
