Anita Mackey dead at 110. There’s a YouTube funeral service sourced to her Wiki page.

There is nothing in the final I actively dislike, which has never happened before, so this is very much a case of fine margins for me. There's about 10 tracks that I would like to win this one, so hopefully 1 of them will, but we're going to kill a lot of good stuff on the way, it's going to be brutal!

Didn’t mind which two of the bottom three there got through. Heck of a recovery for Teardrops!

Didn't think that could be done. Great work everyone.

Turning 115:009, Ethel Caterham has surpassed Annie Jennings' age and becomes 2nd-oldest British person ever.

Would have preferred Donna Summer to do that

Lord David Owen retired from the House of Lords today.

We are currently second in the medal table if anyone is interested.

She actually tied her age in days three days ago (Annie Jennings lived through fewer leap years).

Current TOP 10 1)Tomiko Itooka 116:099 2) Inah Canabarro Lucas 116:082 3) Elizabeth Francis 115:035 4) Ethel Caterham 115:008 5) Okagi Hayashi 114:363 6) Marie-Rose Tessier 114:101 7) Silveria Martín Díaz 114:071 8) Mine Kondō 113:364 9) Naomi Whitehead 113:338 10) Claudia Baccarini 113:322 RIP Charlotte Kretschmann. Claudia Baccarini enters the Top 10. She is the oldest person living in Italy and the 8th-oldest person from Italy ever. Oldest person to live in Italy since 2019 (Maria Giuseppa Robucci). Interestingly, the 11th-oldest person living is also from Italy (Laurina Sangenito).

He's 99 years and 10 months too old for her to be remotely interested in the gig. too soon?

Just saw that Qapik Attagutsiak is a no-obit in your scoreboard but she got this: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/remembering-103-old-nunavut-elder-195648893.html And this: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2023/12/21/qapik-attagutsiak-last-inuit-inuk-bones-munitions-war/ I do have a no-obit, but that's Amy Ettinger. I count a score of 51 for me, not sure where the discrepancies are, as I do have 13 hits (with Qapik Attagutsiak). Edit: Maybe the differences are the solo/duet bonus points? Roland Griffiths was a duet. Qapik Attagutsiak was a solo, Kirsty Smitten was a duet. And I have 6 whippersnappers instead of 4.
