Juliette Bildé dead at the age of 113. Lucile Randon is now the last known living French born in the 1900s.

In remission

Over 6 years between the oldest and second-oldest living French person.

Respectfully shut the fuck up. I've read this reworded nonsense too many times recently.

Oscar winning British American actress Joan Fontaine died on this day 9 years ago in 2013 aged 96. She was the younger sister of Olivia De Havilland. On this day 56 years ago in 1966 , the one and only legendary Walt Disney died aged 65. The entrepreneur, animator and film producer has a huge back catalogue of iconic animated films and or characters as a testament to a legacy that has endured and stood the test of time . Bambi, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, The Lion King, Thumbelina, Dumbo the elephant, Snow White, etc

Wes Wise, the mayor of Dallas from 1971 to 1976, has died. He was 94 (albeit Wikipedia gives his age as 93). https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2022/12/14/former-dallas-mayor-broadcaster-wes-wise-dies-at-94/

Ok, well that will do regardless

Grammy-winning songwriter Shirley Eikhard has died at 67: https://zoomerradio.ca/news/2022/12/15/grammy-winning-canadian-songwriter-shirley-eikhard-dead-at-67-publicist-eric-alper/

I notice that his name hasn't been mentioned on the forum, so I will correct this oversight by mentioning him now. I think most people know he announced he was HIV+ in 1991 and has been working tirelessly for AIDS charities ever since, but news on his health and well-being seems a little scarce. Anybody got any news on him? DWB

Not dead, but I started wondering how many European countries have had someone reach 110 as both Malta and Cyprus "got their first supercentenarians" this year. Excluding Kazakhstan, Armenia etc, "European" countries but including the Mediterranean islands. Belarus' likely first non-emigrant supercentenarian, Polish-born Felicia Zaiko reached 110 last month. From the smaller countries Bosnia and Herzegovina has had one supercentenarian, a man who made it 15 days past 110 in 2016. Lithuania, Albania, Moldova, Slovenia, Latvia have all had atleast one person make it to 110. Excluding one emigrant North Macedonia (Macedonia) has never had a supercentenarian - however both the oldest living woman (Fikrije Loki) and the oldest living man (Ramiz Selmani) are 108. Kosovo has never had a supercentenarian either but the two oldest people in the country, Xhezide Aliu and Xhevahire Mustafa, are both 109, born August 1913. Estonia has never had a supercentenarian but Ottilie-Armilde Tinnuri will be 109 in February if still alive. Excluding emigrants who've made it to 109 she'd be the first Estonian to make it to 109. Luxembourg has had two supercentenarians, the other an emigrant. Montenegro has had two emigrant supercentenarians. Five people in Iceland have made it to 109, unfortunately none to 110. From the microstates, Andorra's oldest person ever was 107, Liechtenstein's was 106, Monaco's and San Marino's were 105. Vatican, they've got Benny XVI and a few others. From the territories Jersey, Gibraltar and Isle of Man have never had supercentenarians, Guernsey however has had and the oldest person from Guernsey currently is Felicity Crump who lives in Alderney (population around 2000). She'll be 110 in a bit over a month if still alive. Åland also has had a supercentenarian.

Not for me, Jeff. You know how Mobb Deep said "there ain't no such thing as half-way crooks"? There also ain't no such thing as half-way edgelords. If you're going to be offensive for the sake of being offensive, put it up to 11. VLS wanted the private schoolboy "ain't I being naughty" thrill of edginess but his targets were always so fucking milquetoast and obvious.

Ironically it was a machine that informed him of his cancer.

Still a total shag, popped out to do some tidying up so of course, the Mail has the goss (not the Matt Goss, what the fuck happened to him - Strictly also ran, but odd) anyway: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11529007/Rarely-seen-East-17-icon-Brian-Harvey-clears-house.html Always had a soft spot for him...well, maybe not that soft...

Or in the last few hours of 2022 on New Years Eve.

Will be back on my list next year. Is he a famous enough celeb to appear on the official list you think ?

Not a death, but Abu Agila Mas'ud, a suspect in the 1988 Pan Am 103 bombing that killed 270 people, has been taken into custody 34 years after the bombing. It was the deadliest terror attack on British soil and the largest involving Americans. https://abcnews.go.com/International/suspect-1988-pan-103-bombing-custody-us/story?id=94989015

You mean we have to have a favourite? I'll pick Ennio Morricone, then. Gawd bless him.

She is still alive according to wiki........?

Jay Leggett Stand up comic,cast member of the the 90s sketch comedy series In Loving Color and writer of the film Employee Of The Month died Saturday collapsing after a deer hunt. He was 50

How about 1992 3 Metre Springboard gold medallist Mark Lenzi? That excite you? He's a diver that isn't the one with AIDS or the one with the dead father, so I've never heard of him. He's dead, anyway.

Patriarch Maxim of Bulgaria, 96, has been forced to issue a statement confirming that he is still alive, following media reports that he has died, or was gravely ill.
