This year is depressingly bad at deaths.

Was supposed to be at Brian Mulroney's funeral https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/brian-mulroney-state-funeral-1.7143866 Probably nothing but he is 94 at the the same time. Worth keeping an eye on. That aside would appear he's been ok up to relatively recently if he was scheduled to attend and speak

You are terribly wrong and should feel stupid.

Queen Elizabeth I died on this day 421 years ago, aged 69. - Elizabeth's education comprised of her reading classical literature and learning many languages- among which is the now critically endangered Cornish language. - Elizabeth's older half-sister Mary I would imprison her in the Tower of London in 1554 on baseless accusations that she was involved in Wyatt's Rebellion. She would be freed the following year, and her half-brother-in-law Philip II of Spain would mentor her in preparation of her succession to the throne, which occurred upon Mary's death in 1558. - Elizabeth's early reign consisted of church reforms to compromise with England's Catholic population, and also took measures to separate church and state by making the clergy follow her laws, and repeal some laws against heresy. - While Elizabeth is called the "Virgin Queen", she did go on many dates, and was engaged twice. Some doubt her virginity claims to be 100% true, however- albeit she did not have any children of her own. - The "Elizabethan Era" largely refers to her later reign, particularly the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the rise and mysterious fall of the Roanoke colony, and the writing of many of Shakespeare's greatest plays. An often overlooked aspect of this time was the establishment of relations between England and the Ottoman Empire, and England hoped the Ottomans would help them in their war against Spain. - Elizabeth is believed to have died from a fatal bout of pneumonia- in the days before her death, she would sit on cushions and refuse to get into bed, possibly due to the realization of what being bedbound symbolized. - With Elizabeth's death, the Tudor dynasty came to an end, and the Stuart dynasty began when James I and VI was declared king.

Looking fantastic for 95

This pissing idiot. They're not exactly in a position to transform people's lives when they haven't been in power for 14 years, you massive mewling wank.

Are you talking in hits in general or the Main Deathlist? Well when I look at my own shadow list and I only have 2 hits and both early on in January and have not had one since I would agree with you. But I see you have 10 hits from your list and The Immortal and gcreptile have 10 hits each on shadow list pool I believe 10 hits in 3 months seem fairly a good ratio. No?

Efraim Zuroff wrote to me that the 101 years old female guard from Ravensbrück, under investigation by the Neuruppin Prosecutor's Office, suffered from dementia.

This is a terrible website and you should feel stupid.

A hero of mine. So much so that I’d like everyone on here to enjoy a picture I recently took of Lane’s amputed toes which he lost to frostbite on Everest (along with a thumb and a few fingers!)…

Just saw this online - taken two years back. They're all still alive, actor James Darren, Wink Martindale and Frankie Avalon. Martindale was 90 in December, best known as a radio DJ in the states but obitable if only because his own version of Deck of Cards was a world wide hit

"Don't fuck around with the British Flag", says current PM and the leader of this party: "I agree", says the former leader of this party: Fragile cunts.

If they both go who's breaking it to William that he’ll have to marry Camilla?

William Shatner is 93. Obligatory Rocket Man repost:

William Utermohlen died on this day 17 years ago, aged 73. - Utermohlen was a figurative painter- albeit he was a largely unknown figure. He had six art periods- "Mythological" (1962-1963), "Dante" (1964-1966; largely revolved around painting scenes from Dante's Inferno), "Mummers" (1969-1970; refers to Philadelphia's Mummers Parade- a favorite childhood event of his), "War" (1972-1973), "Nudes" (1973-1974), and "Conversation" (1989-1991). - During his "Conversation" phase, Utermohlen began to suffer from memory loss, forgetting where his home was and what time it was. Utermohlen would then be diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's in 1995 (when he was 61 years old). - Following his diagnosis, his nurse would encourage him to paint self-portraits of himself- which have since become his most famous works, particularly after his death- due to the clear display of the progression of his deteriorating state: By 2002 he had lost the ability to draw, and he entered a nursing home in 2004. Utermohlen died after 12 years with Alzheimer's.

Italian Fusa Ines Sommovigo dead at 112.

Johnny Appleseed died on this day 179 years ago, aged 70. - Appleseed's real name was "John Chapman". When he was 18 years old (in 1792), he decided to move west and bring his younger half-brother Nathaniel along with him to Ohio, where his father and the rest of his family met up with them in 1805. - Appleseed then became an apprentice to an apple orchard owner, which inspired him to start his own apple tree nurseries; the primary reason he planted apple trees wherever he went was to provide food for pioneers who were also travelling westward. - Appleseed was also a missionary for the Swedenborgian Church, and his westward mission would soon catch the church heads' attention. They were the first to give him his moniker in an 1822 letter to members. - While Appleseed is primarily known for planting apple trees, he also planted the dogfennel weed across Ohio believing it had medicinal purposes- it is now considered an invasive plant. - Reasons why Appleseed is considered a folk hero is largely due to his love of nature- he was kind to every animal he came across, reportedly taming an injured wolf after healing its leg and refusing to build a fire because it could kill mosquitoes (as a very religious man, he considered even them to be creatures of God's creation); Appleseed was also a vegetarian.

Blimey after reading that maybe the committee wont need to pick 50 names for 2024

Great minds think alike Time I had just sent Boudicca a picture of our visit to the Bols Museum, rest assured it wasn't one of you, me and Hein looking pissed drinking strong cocktails! August 2012 DL Con Amsterdam was quite an experience. Myself, Time, Rotten Ali, Magere Hein, welshman and harrymcnallysblueand white army all attended and we had the best weekend apart from the dodgy vegan restaurant complete with a seperate dining room room with antiques/jumble sale crap covering every surface - the dolls were creepy. I have a shedload of photos from those 3 days. Somewhere I have a great photo of all 6of us at the end of the Saturday night, think it was taken just after Mr. McNally bought everyone a whisky shot and that tipped us over the edge into complete drunkenness. I think I have been able to upload a photo of me outside said Bols museum from that day.
