Still absolute zero today.

Dans le cul, Lulu.

It's a typo. Was the 20s of course. Still plenty of A-list tennis players born in the early 30s.

Antonio of Orléans-Braganza, heir apparent to the House of Orléans Braganza, hospitalised with respiratory failure. His elder brother Bertrand is still the pretender to the Emperor title.

Stable and not in danger.

Camillo Ruini has been hospitalised in ICU after heart attack.

Marina Doria, the 89-year old widow of Vittorio Emanuele, has been hospitalised for more than a month.

D........oing very well.

Judith Belushi Pisano, widow of John Belushi, dead at 73.

Javier Valle Riestra dead at 92.

Frank Sedgman now the only tennis start born in the 20s? Last of a whole longeve kind it seems.

Obituary for Old Vic.

Wife Mirta Diaz-Balart dead at 95.

Jorge Lanata back on life support .

French elders are falling like flies. Still plenty on them remain. Geminiani was popular in Italy as Fausto Coppi was with him during the trip on which he contracted malaria. An anecdote my father in law loved to tell. And I always had to remind him Geminiani was still going.

LK Advani discharged.

Any recent actual photo of her? If not, that's a bad sign.

Actress Smriti Biswas, who started her career as a child actress in 1930, dead at 100. Flew under the DL forums radar because she was missing a birth year on wiki.

Former minister Mukul Roy critical in a coma after hitting his head in a fall. Also suffering from dementia.

Ghulam Mustafa Khar (wiki), former CM and Governor of Punjab, hospitalised in ICU and was on life support until yesterday. Now of course improving.

I really thought this time Krishna was a goner. It seems not. Ridiculous how they insist it was "a minor ailment" after he just spent two months on life support.

Let's be clear. *Heart failure is common in people his age. He is not on oxygen which means it's not advanced. *Lack of attention is a thing he can easily fake or exaggerate. *Same goes for scarce hearing. But none of these facts fully convince me he will survive the year. What really really convinces me is his presence on the damn 2024 DL!

LK Advani hospitalised . Some backlog to do here.

I find it quite difficult to believe that a dying man watches elections on TV and screams "Dans le cul, Lulu!".

He looks far better than I would expect given his recent hospital stint.
