I have emailed Hamas, explained my DDP predicament and asked for proof of life verification. I'll let you know if they get back to me.

I love Unchained Melody, but that's not a good version, either musically or vocally.

There's a fairly lively FB page celebrating the ongoing antics of their 89-year-old hero: https://www.facebook.com/groups/813039533635127

Bit ironic posting this after the DNC just wrapped up and it was essentially a who's who of entitled "I am mightier than thou" preachy celebs. Mark Hamill, Oprah Winfrey, Spike Lee, Al Sharpton, Kerry Washington, Stevie Wonder etc etc etc

Exactly what he’ll look like when they inevitably find him dead on the john.

Looks like a dying Oompa Loompa.

Sister Jean turned 105 yesterday.

Dewi Pws was a proper all-rounder and very well-known in Welsh-speaking Wales. He fronted y Tebot Piws, a quirky group whose EP releases (1970-72) are quite sought after today, and then was in the rock band Edward H. Dafis who were very very popular and never forgiven when they broke up. He was also part of the bizarre mid-70s kids show Miri Mawr and of course a very positive campaigner for the Welsh language. A real loss.

Jermaine Jenas sacked with immediate effect by the BBC for "workplace behaviour". Has he been none too subtlely propositioning the production staff? Must be serious for immediate dismissal, or is this the BBC overreacting following the Edwards scandal? Good news overall in my book, supposedly they've been lining him up to replace Lineker, which I was not impressed with. Details, such as they currently are: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy76pdz5152o

Dewi Morris, poet, former Children's Laureate for Wales, and also actor (Grand Slam, 1978 et al) dead aged 76.

They have been recorded this year. William Gaunt looked great in his, Roy Clarke looked his age and Alan Bennett looked like a man circling the drain. Mind you, Michael Jayston seemed in good nick in his and by the time they showed it, he was dead.

LQ recently paid a visit to Hisako Shiroishi, apparently she is still in very good health, Shiroishi is the third oldest person in Japan and the seventh in the world: https://longeviquest.com/2024/08/hisako-shiroishi-114-reflects-on-a-lifetime-of-healthy-living/

hmmm seems we all will be on the look out daily if we see any announcements on Ericksson, McMichael, and Carter. McMichael and Carter are surprising me the most. I would never have guested in the beginning of this year that those two would be making it 3/4 of the way through this year.

Happy Birthday Ethel Caterham, 115 today, oldest in UK.

@Elvis is alive! above is your original post about this where you asked if it was possible and you were met with a resounding no. This 'theory' is something YOU have literally made up yourself and yet now you see to be treating it as if it as a widely accepted fact and are calling the rest of us stupid for not believing you. Please, for the sake of everyone, don't post about it again.

Tomisaburo Wakui died back on July The oldest living man in Japan now is Kiyotaka Mizuno.

https://longeviquest.com/supercentenarian/ina-okazawa/ Ina Okazawa has died at the age of 114

Marina Martin, actress turned acting agent, who appeared as Drahvin One in the Who story Galaxy 4, reportedly dead by an excellent source: Avengers and Hancock among her acting credits.

Joe Engle dead at 91.

Robert Towne QO: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/robert-towne-dead-89-legendary-223844407.html

He is a candidate for the LotL, I think.

Thinking it has been 10 days since Philippe Leroy died with no sign of a QO, maybe time to add him to the List of the Lost? https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2024/celebs_L.html#leroyp023 @Death Impends
