Yegor Ligachev dead at 100.

The Happy Birthday thread was created precisely for the reason of celebrating birthdays in, rather than nudging an individual's thread, creating a moment of excitement followed by crashing disappointment when it was realised it was said individuals birthday, rather than deathday. Havng said that, I have been known to celebrate my own birthday in multiple locations...

Good lord there's not many of those lot I'd give my precious man juices too for the privilege of procreating with me and joining my prestigious bloodline!!

10 years now since he revealed he was dying of Parkinson’s, reckoned he had around 7 years so outlived his own medically qualified estimate. 76 now, has been mentioned before but was surprised he’s never had his own thread despite his association with stiffs

Could I suggest Kåre Willoch(B.1928) He was the prime minister in Norway from 1981-1986. He was diagnosed woth cancer back in april 2016, and a stroke in december 2019. He lost his speech after the stroke, but seems to recover from it slowly, he also said in march 2019 that his cancer was gone. And even after this health issues and also looking frail, he still takes daily walks. Anyway just a suggestion

@Gooseberry Crumble did I call it or did I call it?

Didn't you notice that said thread was started by LFN?

Eddie Rabbitt went gently into that rainy night 23 years ago, aged 56.

His 77th birthday needs to be celebrated here(not on a "sundry birthday " thread of the not so famous . ) Don't you youngsters know anything?

Rugby player Eric Tweedale recently got to 100. Also, about the supercentenarian former Costa Rica first lady Marita Quiros: She has a therapy doll (usually used for people with dementia) in a photo from February. Doesn't mean she "100%" will die soon (as Hester Ford lived with Alzheimer's for atleast 3 or 4 years before dying at the age of 116) but combined with her age, probably gone by the end of this year. Any news or new pictures of Ruth Apilado? Celebrated her 113th on 30th of last month

Death of Christophe Revault at 49, former PSG goalkeeper https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Christophe-revault-ancien-gardien-du-havre-du-psg-ou-de-toulouse-est-mort/1249677

Aaron Neville posts this odd message. Someone wind up the Al Jarreau Retirement Death Clock, please.

Sadly, Mindy was more in the nu-country vein of your Carrie Underwoods, unlike the more talented Lumpkin and her Lynn/Cline traditional country stylings. Also, Lurleen and Homer’s sextape was way hotter. It’s on the dark web somewhere

Lillian Asplund, last American RMS Titanic survivor, died on this day 15 years ago, aged 99.

This has probably already been said, but 24hr news channels and hourly news updates on the TV / radio. Do we really need to be constantly told about how crap or otherwise things are? With the rise of the web it's easier to find out what's happening than turning on the TV et al. I found out about Phil's death on here - short and concise.

Welcome back Deathers, you grumpy cunt. What's the fucking problem with infrequent updates at this time of year? Once you get past the fun of people getting 5 hits in January, the game doesn't get interesting again until about September! If I was a petty cunt, I could look back at how often the pool used to be updated before I did it. As it happens, I am a petty cunt and a quick look back to 2019 shows an update in January, March, May, August, October, and December. So every 2 months - about the same time since I last did it. So you can take your "I entrusted this pool to AFB under the impression it was in good hands" and shove it up your fucking hole . I'll update it when I am good and ready. (Good to see you back though - you've been missed )

Wondress, who featured on the UK #4 hit by Mantronix, Got To Have Your Love, in January 1990, reported dead aged 56: https://www.soultracks.com/story-wondress-dies So good, she featured with them again on their followup #10 in May 1990, Take Your Time.

True story - my maternal grandfather died walking home from church when a lorry and bus collided and crushed him on the pavement. Not really ironic but he obviously didn’t get his prayers right. My mum was 2 at the time and my Gran was 6 months pregnant.
