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).

Got your team by PM. Absolutely perfectly formatted - you are now officially my favourite poster of the day!

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

Judi Dench is 90.

Here.

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.

The president of Srpska Milorad Dodik has been hospitalised and is about to have surgery of his stomach and esophagus.. hmm.... https://news.az/news/republika-srpska-president-milorad-dodik-hospitalized

SIDNEY FUCKING COOKE. 98 in April. Only the good die young.

Previous post ^ Bibliogryphon subtracted 5 rather than the indicated 3 points. A further 4 points have since been added to the score, so we should have 39 Adele — Rolling In The Deep Please would the next person to post use this score.

Vytautas Landsbergis was in ICU last week and says he has been suffering from heart failure for a long time.

Dawn Fraser hospitalised after serious fall.
