Dead. For real this time.

Lily Ebert reportedly dead:

Thomas Geve (wiki) dead at 94.

Shit. The two remaining candidates were my least favourites when all the candidates were announced, not that I had a favourite to begin with. Badenoch is a vile, far-right nut and Jenrick is an untrustworthy slimeball. She is completely detestable in my eyes, so I think I'd prefer Jenrick only because he's more likely to get himself involved in a career ending scandal and require them to have to get another new leader. I'd never vote Tory anyway but there isn't even the tiniest glimmer of hope anymore.

The Tory Party is going to be a mess for the entire term i suspect.

Kaiti Grey in very critical condition again after suffering a massive stroke. 100 with dementia and massive heart problems...

What are you talking about? He’s spoken about it on many occasions. I saw Tebbit in real life a couple of years ago shortly before he retired from the Lords. He looked like death warmed up. He’s on extra time. 6 months, tops.

Breaking story right now about him dropping out of COP29 due to "ongoing cancer treatment". He wouldn't do that lightly and I don't buy it's because of something scheduled well in advance – COP is something close to his heart. As I broke the story on his prognosis at the start of the year and said there's a possibility he may not reach Christmas, I think that can be revised now to say he will probably see 2025, but it doesn't feel like he's going to beat this long-term. I think he should be on the 2025 list.

Elisa Montés, the excellent Spanish film, stage and television actress, reportedly dead at 89: https://www.elplural.com/todo-tv/muere-elisa-montes-verano-azul-madre-emma-ozores-89-anos_338756102

Lily Ebert is a hit for @Bibliogryphon, @ThereWillBeDeaths7 and @msc CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Don’t know Why but I can’t see her dying before 2025. I think we’re due another lingerer at this point to be sure that 2025 is gonna be a disaster

9/10/24 55 Nat King Cole — When I Fall In Love 48 Dean Martin — Volare -6 41 Harry Belafonte — Banana Boat Song 41 Elvis Presley — King Creole 33 Johnny Duncan & The Blue Grass Boys — Last Train To San Fernando 30 Marty Wilde — A Teenager in Love 30 The Everly Brothers — Bird Dog 17 The Everly Brothers — Wake Up Little Susie +4 14 The Everly Brothers — ’Til I Kissed You 09 Elvis Presley — Hard Headed Woman Are The Everly Brothers going to have three in Top 10 but none in the Final Five?

Facts Old Crem, sounds like she won’t survive that long.

That statement did not sound very optimistic.

Jenna Fischer, Pam in the US Office, has announced that she was diagnosed an 'aggressive but treatable' form of breast cancer in December but has recently received the all clear.

Watched the Brighton Bomb programme on BBC2 tonight. John Gummer was a leading contributor, as was Robin Butler. Conspicuous by his absence was Norman Tebbit, given his personal experiences of the incident. He was only included in archive footage. Did he refuse or was he unable to contribute? The programme was very interesting, by the way.

Christopher Pearman the father and manager of actress Raven-Symoné, has died. He is the second close relative she's lost in the past 12 months. Her younger brother Blaize died of colon cancer in November 2023. https://people.com/raven-symone-announces-father-dead-8721523

In honour of one of the most unexpected and astonishing performance in DL history, here is a small compilation of post that didn't age well at all : and some gems about him never, ever turning 100 : He can't. He is the embodiement of the sentence « never say never ». Watch him prove me wrong and do a Betty White, Zsa Zsa by dying today…

I've resisted adding him to my list and did so again for this year, but he's for sure going on my 2025 list if he makes it that far. He does look like he's slipping a bit and at this age, it can fall off the proverbial cliff really, really fast. Kind of like Betty White. I thought there were obvious signs of decline in her final 12-18 months, whatever it was.

Gyles Brandreth is a ubiquitous cunt isn’t he!

Like a certain former US President for example (for the last 18 months at least).

What's the latest news anyone has heard about him? Wasn't he dying in 2021 and then nothing...

Wrong thread.
