The thread for Barbra Streisand, the award-winning US singer/actress turning 76 next month. She was recently in the news for defending Michael Jackson, along the lines of "whatever he did, it didn't kill those boys": https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47680378 Also, here's her mansion: No known health issues so far - but kooky enough to warrant discussion.

Not too often you see a mercenary or a Beat poet join the 100 Club, let alone both in the same month! Even though we're only in March, this year's already become more exciting than the last for new centenarians.

Or "fighting a deadly fungus" as the article puts it. Which sounds like something from a horror film. Her name is actually Denise DuBarry Hay, just for the record and search facility.

Highly obitable Mr Ferlinghetti joins the club 24 March

Just gone through 4 million signatures... I don't know what I'd enjoy more, the revocation or the vast quantities of egg on Leadsom's face.

Larry Cohen, whose TV writing and creator credits in the 1960s gave way to extensive B-movie production since the 1970s, has died. He was 77. https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3552314/r-p-stuff-alive-filmmaker-larry-cohen-died/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0169540/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

From the opposite perspective, of someone who was there: it was a massive crowd, with all kinds of people there from all over. "Grannies against Brexit" and babes in arms. Placards were displayed by military veterans against brexit, members of all the bloody political parties against it, people of lots of different cities and towns, and so forth, besides many others generally mocking the likes of BoJo and Farage, as well as TM, of course. With all of the rhetoric that had been going around and all of the death threats that have been sent, I had anticipated there might be some kind of confrontation with counter-protesters, or even that the march might be the target of terrorist violence. In the event, the only counterprotester I saw was an oddly dressed character to one side of the march route on a stepladder, holding up a placard claiming that "The Bible Says that Britain and Europe have Different Destinies". No doubt we will all be ignored, but it had to be done all the same.

Just back from walking the dog and bumping into them doing a bit of filming in the woods. I've no idea who the two girls fighting were (don't watch it) but I don't think they will be popping their clogs anytime soon. I do know that the blonde one with the sword has a quare arse on her!!!

January: Carol Channing February: Karl Lagerfeld March: Luke Perry (at the moment)

Terrific find but shid be in "Googling Deathlisters (nothing better to do) no? Ach, who am I to question the Thread Politizi?

Since bladan posted a parody....why not.

I'd swap them for any that I've known and I don't even know yours. Thatch, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May. I don't even know where to start.

The right colours too.

I, of course, blame you. If you hadn't dropped him he'd only be worth 3 points and I'd still be ahead on age count back. Anyway, I never trusted my former PM. I suspect his security team wouldn't be beyond knocking a few people off. I mean, it's a reasonably short leap from tugging waitresses' pony tails to having people bumped off... isn't it?

I'd dearly like to meet these 823 Gibraltarians and ask them if they understood the question.

I do agree that we all need a New PM
