In light of other news today I would like to remind our younger and non-British members that Bill Rodgers is a British Politician and not a summary of the Clinton Presidency

Surfer, engineer, and musician Tom Morey, who invented the Boogie Board and brought about other innovations in surfboard design, died at 86 years: https://beachgrit.com/2021/10/free-thinking-inventor-of-the-boogie-board-and-surfing-hall-of-famer-tom-morey-dead-at-86-hello-i-am-a-spaceman-i-am-the-spirits-of-einstein-thomas-edison-alexander-graham-bell-and-bo/

Damn, what STD did Bill get hospitalized for?

Bill Clinton reportedly hospitalised with sepsis. Reportedly “recovering “ and “in good spirits”. Perhaps one to watch for 2022?

As you can see, people are chomping at the bit to get going on that.

I wonder if the assailant has mental health issues rather than anything to do with terror? Amess is quite a moderate voice on the green benches. Very well liked cross party and a charismatic figure. A Brexiteer, but during the referendum campaign, his contribution was always about convincing those on the opposing side rather than antagonising. Big champion of animal rights and energy conservation as well. Met him on a number occasions when I worked in energy. Never heard a bad word against him, and there are few MPs I could say that for.

They really want to rack up the deletions...

Christ. 3rd time this has happened in just over a decade (Stephen Timms and Jo Cox being the other two). May lead to the end of face to face constituent advice surgeries, which would be a tragedy as they're such a healthy and strong part of British democracy.

Yeah I had to change it as you had the hit here, read the wrong name on the right post, so updated my notification.

Yo yo, hit for me, too. No. 418 on my longlist. Oh, Bouteflika, too. Edit: And Lars Vilks! I'm catching up!

That plastic costs. I feel for her. Occasionally

As reported in the Political Frailty thread, hospitalised with possible sepsis.

The enemy of my enemy are both twats

Linky no worky.... Here's Billboard.

Sadly, one of the oldest confirmed former footballers has died - Ray Ruffett - https://www.lutontown.co.uk/news/2021/october/ray-ruffett/

Whilst we continue to wait for the GRO Index for 2020, two that died overseas in the last year was Billy Murphy (born 1928), ex-Exeter, Bristol Rovers etc. and John Yates, ex Chester City. https://twitter.com/hakoahfc/status/1375304671640776706 https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thespec/obituary.aspx?n=john-yates&pid=196742287&fhid=2770

People let politics influence their views on these two. It is pretty clear Biden is not as sharp as he was previously, however, he is also a 78 year old man who has spent nearly his entire life in politics. It is possible that he has some form of early on-set dementia or other mental related disorder, in fact it is likely given his behavior. That being said, it is pure speculation and people can live many years with such issues as dementia or Alzheimer's as this site shows pretty easily. Trump is an obese, former (or current) drug-user who doesn't look particularly well most of the time. Fairly obvious that 1. Biden should survive not only his term but likely years in the future (death does come for us all eventually though). 2. Trump living another decade is less likely than Biden living another decade

Deathlist was created after Cary Grant's death (1904-1986). Kane Tanaka is the last person alive, born before Cary Grant.

I'd say no. Never heard of her till I found this site. Doubt this gets much coverage in the media besides the usual circles. In fact, I doubt she'd get much of a obit, at all if she wasn't so old. Disney legend of course as well, but in America that isn't something most know exists nor care about.

(tbh my actual suspects were Bronski Beat or someone like that!)

Top marks for using the correct thread. Although I think she had more interviews for reaching 40 than even Captain Tom did!

Or maybe this is an utterly pointless thread and very easy indeed to ignore?

comic book writer Albert Uderzo, who is best known for Asterix & Obelix, dead at 92 years https://www.lemonde.fr/disparitions/article/2020/03/24/albert-uderzo-l-un-des-peres-d-asterix-est-mort_6034210_3382.html

Getting old LFN. Happens to us all, look at Peter Falk for instance.
