Josip Manolić (wiki) dead at 104.

About time this 87-year-old Hollywood icon gets his own thread, especially with his consistent absences in public nowadays, sparking speculation about the state of his health. Doubt he'll see 90. One to keep on the DL's radar.

Josip Manolic (1920-2024) "He is in very good health but can't currently be interviewed because he is in a coma" (Josip's family updates his status) "Joža Manolić je nadživio Joža Manolić" Age at death: 104 Known health issues: Severe COVID pneumonia in 2021, bedridden and received last rites in 2023. Cause of death: So sudden and unexpected he may have been murdered. Alignment: Resistance fighter during WWII, he was a controversial communist agent after the war, and took part in imprisoning archbishop Stepinac and putting him on a communist show trial. In the 90s he was seen as a moderate opposing ultranationalists. He was perceived by Croatians as the Ultimate Immortal, a bit like JP Enrile in the Philippines and Jimmy Carter in the Milky Way.

Josip Manolić is a hit for @Commtech Sio Bibble, @wannamaker, @The Daredevil, @drol, @Bibliogryphon, @Summer in Transylvania, @Insane, @theoldlady, @diego, @DoorSlammer, @gcreptile, @msc, @LizLemon, @MortalCaso, @Book, @Funeralopolis and @MariNisia CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Josip "Joza" Manolic was the last one of the original state leaders, and that means the game has now ended. It's been almost seven years and we saw them falling one by one: Bush snr, General Anh, Mugabe, Tun Tin, Kim Yong-ju, Echeverria, The Queen, Comrade Jiang, Benedict XVI, Napolitano and finally Manolic. Scoring with the likes of legendary Burmese PM Tun Tin, @TQR has won the game with 8 hits!!! Congrats, well done ! I'll evaluate if a new game should be started, but I won't likely live to see the end of it!

I think they only give up those royal honorary colonelships when they really have to for health reasons. The time Prince Philip gave up his was about the last time we saw him walking.

John Cruickshank wins by fatality.

Andrew's daughters aren't doing much either are they? They remain relatively untainted despite obvious association issues, but are not particularly working royals as far as I understand it.

I understand why some people dislike it but I think it is one of Britney Spears best songs

I used to collect the Now CD's up until Now 89 or something like that. Still got a few but some i've given to charity shop.

Not sure if he'll see 90. Blokes basically a walking cadaver now

You need a hobby, or to get laid. I suggest knitting .

Willie Limond reportedly dead: Former Commonwealth and British champion. 45 years old. Edit: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/breaking-boxer-willie-limond-dies-32588641

It's actually disturbing how little the U.S government seems to care about their military getting exposed to toxic substances (Agent Orange, radioactive materials, asbestos, burn pits etc.). I know a U.S Iraq war veteran that was exposed to burn pits. Now in his early 50s, survived skin cancer and has COPD and liver disease. He has a twin brother and 2 siblings who are perfectly healthy. He's been trying to fight for 100% disability but the V.A has been giving him a hard time as you might guess.
