Anubis the Jackal

Alu Alkhanov, The newly elected president of Chechnya. Given that 3 of his precedents have been assassinated and one is in hiding, his chances of surviving to a healthy old age are to be frank, fairly poor. Hmm, no euphoria. Wonder why not.

It'll take far more than a landmine to topple Clive. He's the Rasputin of aging comedic character actors.

Permission to dig Sir? Baseball jacket and white chinos are the next big thing for debonair chaps about town. Oh, and whacking great big headphones, natch.

Hmmm, Edmondo Ros...94 years old. Good find Catherine. Plently of overripe fruit in there

That would have been quite a Boon

"Patience looks a little familiar..." What say we have a DL whipround to commission a portrait of the Great Clive by someone who is obviously a relative?

Drake still not gone West

As indeed he has now

A good choice for DL, seeing as many wish him dead and he's getting on anyway. However... Tricky call I'd say.

John McCarthy? That's why we didn't see Kirk Douglas for a while, he was chained to a radiator in Beirut for a few years. Joseph McCarthy...never heard of him.

Ceylon, Goodbye, Auf Weidersehen, Farewell

Does he still live in his Sri Lankan beach house, gazing out over the frolicking young boys whilst contemplating the Mysteries of the Universe? Gosh, I do hope so.

That's not where you're supposed to take a pulse Michael.

You filthy swine.

Don't do it Harry! For your own sake, and for the good of the rest of us....

Never look a gift jockey in the mouth?

Frail and not so alert. A friend of mine once hi-jacked a wheelchair in Lourdes, pretended to be disabled and was rushed to the front of the queue at the shrine. After being blessed, he wheeled himself slowly away from the bulk of the crowd, got up and ran like the wind shouting "Alleluah I'm healed!"

Charlie Watts is the only one of the Stones to retain any shred of dignity. He always seemed to be the old man roped in to help his snotty-nosed nephews and now at least he acts his age rather than prancing around embarrasingly with girls young enough to be his grandaughters or rambling incoherently with Johnny Depp. Don't really want to see him on DL but needs must...

Hopefully Alexander Solzhenitsyn and General Pervez Musharraf won't die on the same day. that could lead to a terminal mangling of the language of Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Keats.

COSTCO!! You'd have thought, with his considerable wealth it would be F & M hampers all the way.

Well past her Primate.

Oils well that ends well. Brave old bugger though.

Further proof of Dunn looking younger as he gets older.... Bear in mind this was taken in 1959! DunnAgin'

Seems not everyone else has forgotten him though. On that theme, a visit to the local library would show the electoral roll for the Care home for Distressed Actor Folk in West London where Mr. O'S. is resident. May be fertilie ground?

Why do all the extreme ranters congregate towards Catholicism, Maltese politics and Snooker. Is there a link? Perhaps if I read that godawful DaVinci Code I'll find out that it's the Rosicrucians or Agnes Dei who are behind Stephen Hendry
