British actor Arnold Yarrow (Wiki) and the oldest Doctor Who actor, reported dead at 104.
FB tribute from his brother granddaughter who was living in Israel.
Bob Mackie had a fall last week on his way to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. 84, so up to you if you think that's a sufficient age for the "as soon as they start falling over they've got 18 months" rule.
Three teams of any stripe (so 3 theme teams, 2 theme teams and 1 normal team, 2 normal teams and 1 theme team, or three normal teams if you want everyone to mutter behind their backs and secretly think you're rigging the game).
I don’t think he’s on his deathbed yet. He’s 99 after all but still walks by himself, talks really well and overall looks good. The thing is we just had high standards with him because he used to look fantastic not that long ago and now he’s more… looking like his age ! But let’s face it, he’s in way better condition than most of the 99 yo out there. Not to say he should be dropped next year however
Not the only former dictator or dictator wannabe there. Viktor Yanukovych, Askar Akayev and Kurmanbek Bakiyev are living there too as far as I know. Maybe others.
Hopefully Syria will become an atleast somewhat democratic country and not an extremist shithole as Afghanistan. I personally don't trust al-Julani or Sheikh Osama al-Rifai who also seems to potentially hold a lot of power here.

A hit for my Irish theme team. Good timing, as I had just dropped him from my shortlist for the 2025 team!
A fifth unique hit of the year - not too shabby. And if my mental maths are correct, it draws me level at the top of the Theme Team leaderboard with the dodgy Natures Way team.

I vaguely remember an old post about him having been very frail and thought he had already died a year or two ago. Recuperating at home I assume means that he has some kind of a "home hospital" that he's cared in.
On Charles Coste, I think his short appearance was a bit unflattering. He looks much more alive in other recent images.
