Lafaucheuse

people of the 110 club will get so mad, they’re usually just nerds whose sense of humour tends to 0 and whose passion for supercentenarians tends to « clinical obsession »

I love Mr. Sulu

Interesting ! I was sure he would be a little bit famous in UK as he wrote an infamous song about Tatcher saying that he would piss on her and calling her a murderer and a cunt basically. Funny and well written song (here in english). quite strange that Delpech got only one guardian obit, Renaud and him are giants in french culture.. anyway for some pools like alt obituary you know… could help edit : is Shane McGowan a big name in UK ? Here I must say no one knows him

Another french big names that deserves consideration : singer, songwriter and anarchist, Renaud (born 1952) He's the french Shane McGowan : used to smoke 4 packs of cigarettes a day, notable alcoholic and drug user. Has quite alcohol and drugs several times but always relapsed. He said in an interview in 2010 : « Je bois parce que je ne suis pas bien dans ma peau, dans ma couenne. J’ai des psychoses, des angoisses, un mal de vivre, une nostalgie de mon enfance. Et cela empire avec tous ces amis qui meurent autour de moi. Cela me déprime" (I drink because I'm not good in my own skin. I have psychosis, anxiety, I don't want to live anymore, nostalgia of my childhood. And this increases with all the friends that are dying around me, it's getting me down.". Hospitalized in 2019, following his brother Thierry (author) demise, aged 69 after a stroke. Open heart surgery in 2020. Paranoia sufferer. Appeared at the "NRJ music Award" a couple of days ago : was shacking a lot, had to grab the desk to stand still, almost fell while talking, can't talk properly, in poor poor health. The second photo is from his 70th birthday from earlier this year. Can't see him making it to 80 (nor even 75 tbh)

That’s… racist

put this damn Bernadette Chirac on the list, here she is in 2017, she was 84 ans will be 90 this next year

missed that but turned out to be quite funny now. Why all these late rumors about him ?

why is he holding the chair like that ?

Borje Salming is a solot hit for @Captain Hemlock : congrats, one point ! Tony Bennett in at n°7 and Ruth Buzzi in your sub list.

American actress Pat Priest is 86 (wiki)

Interesting fact : in 1904, there was approximately 1 600 000 000 humans on earth and among them, only one survived, Lucille Randon. Wonder how many people born in 2022, there will be left in 2140 (if ever there is a year 2140)

Tbh I don’t think one of them was famous enough to appear on the list. Shannen Doherty, Linda Nolan and Newton John are (or were..) way more famous than them, I don’t think it’s a question of age or illness but much more of famousness

Bernadette Chirac : too frail to attend her own husband funeral in 2019, here are some photos of her taken back in 2017 at Simone Veil's funeral when miss Chirac was "only" 84 but looked 94. Last public appearance was in 2019 when she pronounced a speech for the inauguration of a "Jacques and Bernadette Chirac street" in Brive-la-gaillarde : wheelchairbound, can't even take the veil of the street sign down by herself, has difficulties talking etc… (can be seen here at around 14min). Her surrounding is telling for several years now that she is really really frail and she looks like it. She's a goner this next year I think.

why those two ? did I miss anything ?

I wouldn't keep neither Akihito, Scales, Whales nor Ronstadt over Sandy Gall, Chomsky or Joss Ackland

it's going to be a small list with only 3 people being kept from last year…

no need to get all defensive here, it wasn't personal. But I'm honestly interested in knowing who you calling "no one's heard of them out of Paris" as I don't have a clue about french names popularity in UK

Sandra weir ? She’s a nobody

Bernadette Mayer is a unique hit for @gcreptile : Congrats, one point ! Rolf Harris in at n°18 but I'm afraid I can't accept Sandra Weir as she's not famous enough and I have refused her for several teams when they entered… Can you choose someone else ?

Is Marita Camacho Quiross the most famous supercentenarian (known for other reason than her age) ? I think as a first lady she has to be

She even looks better than her husband

Are you a joke ?

Do we know When he plays ?
