    World War II Veterans

    Images from the Navajo Code Talkers Day, held on Wednesday. Peter MacDonald and John Kinsel somehow healthy enough to attend, neither look as bad as I thought they'd and apparently it's Thomas Begay who's in poor health now. John Kinsel reportedly dead aged 107 (?): https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2024/10/19/one-of-the-last-remaining-navajo-code-talkers-john-kinsel-dies-at-107-in-arizona/75757722007/

    The controversy surrounding Corey Hill spurred me to open a topic. UFC announced his death but the missus swears he's alive. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mma-cagewriter/corey-hill-s-wife-denies-ufc-report-that-her-husband-has-denied-022023494.html

    12. Stanley Baxter

    Before Connolly, there was a charming Scottish comedian and actor known as Stanley Baxter. A star on radio, TV and film, he really only graduated to the knowledge to the UK populace once he sold out moved to London. (Ah, those pre-regional days when you had to go there to really make it!). Of course I remember him best for his glamorous 1970s specials, inevitably dressing up as a lady...as I understand it, he was the first impressionist to do one of Her Majesty The Queen, which caused all sorts of trouble, but which he sailed through. His Parliamo Glasgow sketches remain the stuff of legend, but then they would, because taking the piss out of Scots remains a popular British pastime to this day, and Stanley was only too happy to take the cash for deprecating the language of the city of his birth. Eventually he became famous to another generation through the children's TV show Mr Majeika. He was on the side of Scotland remaining in the UK during the 2014 Indy Referendum, after all it is important to stress that from his £2m home in Highgate, London. Anyway, he's at that age of 91 when he's checking obituaries and not seeing himself. And neither are we yet. But lest we forget, here's his thread.

    Political Frailty

    Dale Campbell-Savours participates remotely in the proceedings in the Lords, as he admitted in a debate yesterday. He has done so for at least the last three years. I'm unaware if this is a common practice. I thought they had to turn up to get the allowance. How many other Lords and Ladies do we know sit on their couch and join in the public debate? Anyway, might be a sign of slowing down.
