Been bored today with no work so some ideas for 2021. Not all DL worthy but I reckon all could obit so definitely DDP material at the very least. Some are ill/frail (or rumoured to be), others I've just listed because of age/curiosity. Sister Paula Nielsen Self-styled "trans-televangelist", a regular guest on the Clive James Show in the 1980s Turning 83. Suffered a big stroke several years ago, seldom seen since. EDIT: Died 30 Jun 2022 (aged 83) Gene Shalit Film critic. Turning 95. Reclusive since retiring in 2010, last public appearance 2015. Arthur White Actor, best known for appearing in A Touch of Frost alongside his younger brother, Sir David Jason. Turning 88. Jeanette Charles Actress, known for playing Queen Elizabeth II in movies. Turning 94. Retired in 2014. Gail Halvorsen Command bomber in the U.S. Air Force, known for his role in the Berlin Airlift of 1948–49. Turning 101. Rumoured to be in ill health. EDIT: Died 16 Feb 2022 (aged 101) Winnie Ewing First female SNP MP and somewhat of a fetish for Nats, nicknamed Madame Ecosse. Turning 92. Rumoured to be in ill health. EDIT: Died 21 Jun 2023 (aged 93) Philippe de Gaulle French admiral and senator, the last living child of Charles de Gaulle. Turning 100. Couldn't attend the VE Day celebrations in 2020 because of ill health. Ernest Angley Controversial televangelist and cult leader with the world's most unconvincing wig. Turning 100. EDIT: Died 7 May 2021 (aged 99) Eddie Stobart Businessman and founder of the UK's most famous haulage company Turning 92. Little info out there on him, can't even find a picture! Michael Moore Left wing activist and filmmaker Turning 67. Obese and refuses to lose weight. Had a brush with death in 2016, spending time in intensive care with pneumonia. Margie Phelps née Simms Bigot. Member of the Westboro Baptist Church, widow of founder Fred who died in 2014. Turning 96. Frail and not seen in public for years. EDIT: Died off radar on 18 Apr 2020 (aged 94) Mary Holt Tory MP (1970–74) for Preston North (preceded and succeeded by Ronald Atkins!) Turning 97. Was said to be in poor health in 2018. EDIT: Died 17 Feb 2021 (aged 96) Marguerite LeWars Played the photographer in Dr. No, the only credited cast member still living other than Sir Sean Connery and Ursula Andress, also Miss Jamaica Turning 83. Still active and just written a book, hoping to score an HBO or Netflix series with it. Still worth keeping an eye on. Colin Jeavons Actor, probably best known for playing Stamper in the original House of Cards. Turning 92. I saw a photo of him from a few years ago looking frail. Can't find it now. Joe Turkel Actor, best known for his role of Dr. Tyrell in Blade Runner. Turning 94. Retired from acting in 1999 but continued to make public appearances. Though the last one I can find is this from 2017. EDIT: Died 27 Jun 2022 (aged 94) That's 15. I'll do another 15 tonight. Anything to prevent this turning into another thread about Trump!

Thought I'd update this. Nearly 2 years on and 5 gone, 9 still living. Prince Philip could soon become the oldest living hereditary peer.

Iain does what he does as the character he plays, 'CoffinLodger', as a source of entertainment, and other people reciprocate. You're grossly misconstruing a bit of pisstaking as contempt. Be better, please.

That’s sad. I like Jim Sillars because he’s never been afraid to speak his mind and break ranks, whereas the rest of his party is a nauseating cult with every one of its elected representatives sharing the same opinion on everything.

There were big hopes for Kanye West. What a shame that didn’t work out.

Has had dementia for years and periods of falling health alongside it. My source is a family friend. If you want a 2 for 1 deal on nationalists, Jim Sillars is not a well man these days, though I'm not entirely sure whats up - might be just age related. He's been going downhill since Margo's death.

In case it mattered a solitary fuck, this is who Brits want to win the election. Quite extraordinary that the vast majority of Tories want a Democrat to win.

Mike Pence’s fly has a Twitter account. Already has 100k followers.

One for all the HP fans Hats That

Former miner, former policeman, former world number one & six-time world champion snookerist Ray Reardon is 88 today.

Possible health issues for everyone's favourite MIGA Trump acolyte cartoonist Zyklon Ben Garrison?

That’s it. I’m officially voting for the fly on Mike Pence’s head as president for 2020.

Gösta Vestlund has died at 107 https://vestlunddagarna.org/ another hit for @Predictor CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Ray Pennington, a country music songwriter known for writing the Waylon Jennings song "I'm a Ramblin' Man", and for founding the Step One Records label, has died. He was 86. Pennington was killed in a house fire. https://www.newschannel5.com/news/one-killed-in-house-fire-in-sumner-co

Gotta love JD.

True, but compared to others like Van Dyke, Benett or Belafonte, and based on her last pictural earlier this year, She doesn’t seem on the brink of death

since everyone is debating who should stay and who should sashay away on the list, here is the 11 candidates I would drop considering there is no hit left for this year : - Akihito - Tony Bennett - Stiles - Prunella Scales - Desmond Tutu - John Edrich - Shane MacGowan - Dick Cheney - Lester Piggott - David Crosby - Pervez Musharaff after all, they did drop Little Richard last year…

Early door hysteria. If the liberal media and the Democrats are not careful, they'll create voter complacency amongst their natural voters, and also galvanise a voter turnout from the right.

But you knew what I was saying, you were just being a grammar nazi

He keeps the kids entertained.

Fritzl walks into a bar....... Hardly surprising, mind, you can hardly see anything down there.
