    26?!? In 2001?? I'm no math genius but I'm an orator and will loudly decry BULLSHIT! He would have been 11. SC Struggling to see your point here. Unless.... You do realise that Red Marauder was the horse, not the jockey??? Uhm, that's a good compromise between Sir Creep's and Time's theories, I guess.
  2. In this interview old Italian painter/art critic Gillo Dorfles appears to be still sharp, but quite pessimistic and bitter. I reckon next year will be his last. http://www.corriere.it/cultura/16_novembre_23/gillo-dorfles-intervista-arte-critica-libro-rizzoli-7c070a24-b196-11e6-aca9-06f7502f8eb7.shtml
  3. Italian writer and classical scholar Vittorio Sermonti is dead at 87. He was quite a celebrity in Italy and his son is a well known actor. http://www.corriere.it/cultura/16_novembre_24/morto-vittorio-sermonti-scrittore-regista-grande-esperto-dante-d5124e50-b21b-11e6-b816-d363c3de2004.shtml

    What Kind Of Person Deadpools?

    Renowned Mountaineers, Feeling Peaky?

    And now for the descent. Be interesting to see if he gets a QO, can never really judge the fame level of mountaineers outside the "big names". He was quick.

    Political Frailty

    Right-wing Italian politician Gaetano Rasi is dead at 89. Very underrated during his life, and I guess forgotten after his death. http://www.secoloditalia.it/2016/11/addio-gaetano-rasi-maestro-pensiero-sociale-destra/

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    I fear another popular 2017 DDP pick will not make it to the starting line.

    Was he your relative, Spade?
  21. Norman Lloyd is in great shape but at 102 he could easily go next year.Liz Dawn I think is a must have for next year. Still think Leah Bracknell needs to be on next years list and Tony Booth. Tony Booth for sure but Leahs situation sadly sounds quite dire and tragic and I fear she may go before 2017 Another name that springs to mind is Ryan O'Neal. Other names to throw into the discussion - Norman Tebbit, Sumner Redstone, Michael Caine, Joan Plowright, Gerald Kaufman (Labour MP) Silvio berculusoni -former Italian pm but I'm sure I've spelt his name wrong! Jacques Chirac, Nicholas F Brady US Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan and Bush senior, Robert Wagner, Anne Douglas (actress Wife of Kirk Douglas) and Winnie Mandela Just to help jump start some discussion! I can assure Silvio Berlusconi is a bad choice. He is still directing his political party and has said there will be no change of leader for a long time. Don't rely on heart diseases, they tend to come and go. http://www.ilgiornale.it/news/politica/berlusconi-gelo-parisi-arrivo-nuove-nomine-1333336.html

  25. Sicilian free diver Enzo Maiorca, who was known as a legend in Europe some years ago because of his rivalry with Jacques Mayol, died this morning aged 85. http://www.ilpost.it/2016/11/13/enzo-maiorca-morto-apneista/ He was also Senator between 1994 and 1996.
