Well, Coleen Nolan coughed and thought she was going to die, so she quits smoking: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/coleen-nolan-reveals-terrifying-health-32253243

Vietnamese officer of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam Nguyễn Bảo Trị (Wiki) dead at 94 He served as the commander of III Corps.

The most worrying thing about that article is learning that she's only 58. We could be left with any one of these tarts for another 40 years yet.

Issa Hayatou is alive. Usual reliability of African media.

FASHIONISTA & DESIGNER - Iris Apfel ...DEAD AT 102 https://www.tmz.com/2024/03/01/fashion-designer-icon-iris-apfel-dead-dies/

And that's exactly what it still is. It's just that you've been consuming too much content from the Daily Mail, GBeebies, your uncle Nigel's Facebook memes etc. It has boiled your brain. The sooner you recognise that, trust me, the better it'll be for your blood pressure. What do you mean cancelled? Who has been cancelled for not liking Meghan Markle? Why is Meghan Markle so significant, particularly in the furious rants of the right-wing ghouls who spit venom in the aforementioned media? Why are you so angry? Where has this obsession among right-wing ghouls with who has a penis come from? When will they (you) realise how much of an unedifying spectacle it is to keep shouting the word 'penis'? Why does it bother you so much? Why won't you entertain the possibility that people can live their lives how they are comfortable, without hurting anyone, that may be different to how you would? What gave you the right to shout down and reject those who don't identify how you for some reason or other think they should? Why are you so angry? Who has been cancelled for even saying that, leave alone thinking it? Why can't people recognise the flaws of these prominent historical figures without being spat the word 'woke' at, like that's some kind of insult? Why are you so angry? Who are these left-wing thought police? Can you see them now? How much do you know/are you willing to educate yourself about our Empire days? Is it not the ultimate form of patriotism to learn the full extent of your own country's history, and to recognise the awful and unjust things we've done as well as the good and learn and grow from it? Why is it only a 'left-wing' thing to not be so wifully blind to these things? Why are you so angry? Congratuwelldone. Feel better now? Now, see all of the above, and try not to be so angry. Ah. What exactly do you mean by this? You think everyone should look and be the same? Like, say, one super race? Why are you so angry? And yet you won't entertain the possibility that a "certain % of employees" who might be black/muslim/female/trans/disabled might be the best candidates for those jobs? Why is that? Why are you so angry? Proud to have such a negative outlook on people just trying to live their lives and peacefully co-exist, collaborate, work with, live with and support others, from all walks of life, with all kinds of traits you so despise? Why can't having diversity in culture and society be a thing to be proud of, a thing that adds colour to our lives? What went wrong in your life that caused you to be so full of hate? Why are you so angry?

Iris Apfel is a hit for @Thatcher, @Bibliogryphon, @Lafaucheuse, @Insane, @theoldlady, @GuyFromFuture, @The Unknown Man, @WillyWonka422, @LizLemon, @deadsox and @The Old Crem CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Iris Apfel is a (sad) hit for me and maybe others.

Unfortunately not: Iris Apfel has died. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/01/fashion/iris-apfel-dead.html So it's between Bibliogryphon (Elizabeth Kelly) and Newjack (Philippe de Gaulle).

Iris Apfel is a hit for several people.

Wikipedia says he died 29. February. R.I.P.

Created by our old friend Deathray in 2018. He fucked off somewhere and I took on his admin powers. I'm tempted to delete the whole thing because it's been inactive for 5 years and I'm not sure the other users in the server are real humans.

What a load of nationalist, Islamophobic drivel
