    I am very amused by this today..It will be fascinating who is going to be the Golden Person to be the big announcer when his death actually happens

    I will go for either a Thatcher or tracy golden death announcement!!!!

    Just been watching an episode of the TV miniseries War and Remembrance from 1989. Two actors in that episode I had forgotten about and were surprised to find were still alive are: Milton Johns (who played Eichmann in W&R and Brendan Scott in Coronation Street) is 86 this year and Kenneth Colley, 87 in December, played SS Standartenfuhrer Paul Blobel in W&R and also featured in a couple of Star Wars films.

    I, personally am still anticipating great things from this list as there are way too many sick/low hanging fruit candidates to not achieve a very good total. I still think we are going to have a few shocks along the way too away from the official DL and the the DDP will score a very high dead body count. But if I am wrong, which of course I could be then I too echo the comments of @Lafaucheuse that 2025 will be the ultimate bloodbath.

    I know not everyone believes in prayer but just wanted to share my son has just lost a friend last night to suicide, he was only 18.  My son as well was in contact with him only hours before the tragedy and he is broken wishing he saw the signs.  There is so much suffering in the world, and it breaks my heart that people suffer in such ways they feel there are no other answers for themselves. 

    Please also pass on my deepest and sincerest condolences to your son @livingbygrace. I do genuinely believe that prayer can move mountains as I have had prayers answered. Not always the way I have wanted or even straight away but the power of prayer as helped me through some very difficult circumstances.

    I have the sadness to announce that this morning, my great-uncle has passed away at 81. He was diminished for some times.
     

    It’s a huge loss for my grandpa. Sadly, he is now the last one in his family. My grandpa who is 84, had 2 brothers and he was older than them. The other one, the youngest died in 2020, aged 72. 
     

    Moreover, my grandpa is widowed since the death of my grandma in 2019, aged 79. Fortunately, he still has his sons including my dad and his grandchildren including me for supporting him. Since 2019, my grandpa really passed through tough times. 

    Please accept my sincerest condolences @La Tombe

    As a Port Vale fan it's definitely time for manager Andy Crosby to go. Head of recruitment David Flitcroft can follow him out of the door also. The way Port Vale is being run at the moment is embarrassing. Owner Carol Shanahan said that the club when promoted via the League 2 play-offs two years ago needed to be "Championship Ready". I question that we are even "National League Ready". Lost 3-0 away at Fleetwood Town today who were sitting bottom of the League 1 table. Vale are now in a relegation dogfight for certain. With hardly any strikers and appalling recruitment in the January transfer window Port Vale are doomed to life in the basement league of the EFL pyramid.

    Andy Crosby gets the sack!!!

    Like @drol said in the Englebert Humperdinck thread, 2024 the year famous/ high profile people don't seem to be dying. Well hopefully by me posting this here jinxes everything and we start to see high prolific names keeling over. I must admit I am totally shocked at the slim to anorexic pickings myself and my fellow dead poolers are getting.

    Of course it is very possible that he could live well into his 100's and even become a supercentenarian but as so often happens it only takes a fall or flu/chest infections at DVD's age and could be a goner in a heartbeat. In March 2017 my grandfather had what appeared to be a common cold and was still relatively active. Within 2 weeks he passed away with pneumonia at the age of 79.
