Hospitalised after falling and breaking her femur; will undergo surgery tomorrow but her conditions are not worrying. Ironic, considering she will run for the Senate in two weeks.

Javier Marías dead at 70.

Yang is the greatest living physicist and and absolute A-lister.

Bull Fulbright, the only character to die in A-team. Was always funny to think the actor who played him was instead alive and very old.

Bullshit.

Mangosuthu was back in hospital in mid-August, apparently alreday discharged. Have the feeling he will join a certain list next year...

Lauch Faircloth turns 95 in January. Reading his wiki page he seems to have been a very mediocre and despicable senator and person.

Actually the Queen's death was the closest we got to Stanley's death for some years...

Born the same day as hardline Chinese Immortal Yang You. That was quite an unfair challenge.

Vinh Sử dead at 78.

Decrepit heavyweight literary critic Noè Jitrik, 94, in coma after stroke, but "with favourable evolution". Of course. Perplexed? Me too.

Paul Schrader hospitalised with severe COVID pneumonia .

B. B. Lal dead at 101.

Ancient Bangla political heavyweight Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury (wiki), 87, who has been the Parliament deputy leader for years, critically ill and hospitalised . Will she pull through like a real Asian?

Choose your picks!

The Queen was last picked by @Yvonne, who has not changed her pick and therefore wins the round! Congrats. New round to be started.

And at this point I think her "mobility issues" were in fact due to cancer which had metastasized to her bones. @The Old Crem was right all the time.

I'm not British nor a royalist. But the fortitude of a 96-year old woman barely standing and suffering from a terminal Illness still finding the strength to meet the new PM and absolve her duties is only to admire. You'll miss her.

The 42 of you are out.

No, they are not so dumb. If they put on this it means her vital parameters are very low.

No, that's quite imminent at this point.

And here's Crem was right all the time!

Nah, he is a real immortal, not like her. Seems it was terminal heart failure rather than Raynaud syndrome, uh?

Before Jiang Zemin, before Wade, even before Majali. Who would have thought that?
