Clu Gulager turns 91 today!

The original subtitle was Insert cheesy Dick pun here... so I think you've hit the nail on the dickhead.

Former World’s Fastest Man Harrison Dillard has died at 96

Yes, and maybe if you are rich and famous you will receive better care than the Average Uncle Joe, even in a public system like in Italy. I'd like to know how many Kenyans get the futile treatment those fuckers of Moi and Kibaki are getting. Hey, and we are all human with equal dignity!

Well, it certainly seems as if hospitals exist to keep people alive.

I like it. I like the original too. Subtitle could be yours! @Admin ( @Death Impends or @Paul Bearer) can we make Toast's a proper subtitle for Dickless thread?

This leaves Doug Holden as this game's last surviving player.

Looks frailer than else. He is actually working for a new remake of Oliver Twist where he will take on the role of Fagin

Just hearing that we should be running a permanent budget surplus (thus more austerity for the foreseeable) from Ed Davey, the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Kingston. Oh hang on, he’s a Lib Dem? Jesus. He’s almost more Tory than the Tories.

Matsumoto?

I picked him in the Cup after rumours of pancreatic cancer. He was supposedly comatose and dying already. It was never clear what happened then. Now he's dead of a heart attack.

Reports of the death last of the Hindenburg disaster survivor were premature,as the last of the Hindenburg disaster survivors, Werner Gustav Doehner, died recently aged 90.

90 today!

The Browns were seconds away from a season-changing win when Myles Garrett lost his composure in a moment of rage rarely seen on an NFL field. Garrett tore off Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph's helmet, wildly swung it and hit the QB in the head, a shocking act that will likely result in a lengthy suspension for Cleveland's star defensive end and perhaps cost the Browns any chance of making the playoffs. Garrett's outburst came with 8 seconds left in Cleveland's 21-7 win over the rival Steelers on Thursday night, a game that will not be remembered for anything that happened in the first 59 minutes.

This is, for remainers or even just people not on the hard right, just a tactical voting exercise. Everyone needs to check who’s most likely to unseat a Tory and potentially end up voting for a party they’d in normal circumstances rather shit into their hands and clap than elect. Myself included this time. But it relies on remainfolk/non-right-wingers thinking to do that check (because Lab and Lib won’t get their shit together and work with each other) and we as a nation are shit at doing that. It’s gonna be close.

Hmmm obvious manipulation of the people - sometimes the people don't like that and it can have unexpected results.

It's not actually. 9 times out of 10 in these situations mass death is caused by panic and crowd crushes rather than actual fire, so the fire brigade try to avoid that as well as put out the fire. In the case of Grenfell, no one had bothered to tell the fire service about the flammable cheap cladding, so they worked on the standard principle: avoid panic, isolate area of fire, evacuate the necessary, put out fire. The firemen used the safety advice that helps to save thousands of British lives every year. Its just that in this instance, crucial information was kept from them and the residents, and well, the results were as they are. JRM is using hindsight to judge and thus is open to criticism.

he was a heavy drinker and smoked two packs a day https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/12107105/Sir-Michael-Caine-My-wife-saved-me-I-was-drinking-a-bottle-of-vodka-a-day.html

He's a late 80s man I can see him going downhill very fast in a couple of years.

I reckon Caine will go suddenly, rather than us knowing of some kind of illness or whatever. But I don't think it'll be soon. Not this decade, anyway. I hope.
