    I reckon you get 10 bonus points for that one!! But, I'd still like to see Phil the Greek on the list.......you never know who's gunning for him after this latest Royal Scandal. B) Anyway, if he does die ( hopefully in 2004 or sooner ) wil I get special mention for his nomination anyway? :D

    I love how it's been nearly seventeen years since this person started the thread. Philip has looked frail for the last thirty years and in an interview from the mid-1990s, when asked about living to 100, answered "bits and pieces are already falling off me"

    At this point I'm starting to like him because he was always different. No idea what's his diagnosis but he's someone I like to hear from, causing gaffes and behaving weirdly everywhere he goes. Or then he's just a relic from times when jokes used to be like that.

    The way I tried that post to sound non-serious was by this clumsy joke

    I wonder what's his secret to living so long, maybe disappearing from the public for a pretty long time

     

    as usually nowadays people born before 1920 who haven't been heard of in a few years or decades, aren't and never have been famous are quite often already rotting in their graves

    Did a search and nothing came up, so I assume it wasn't mentioned at the time:

    Georges Gustave Hollande, father of former French President Francois Hollande, died on 7th April aged 96.

    Former DDP pick so needs to be added to the List of the Missed
    ---------------------------

    Whilst I'm here, anyone know if Zarin Musharraf, mother of former Pakistani PM Pervez Musharraf, is still alive?

    In 2014, aged 95, she was reported as being seriously ill. Can't find anything subsequent, though she'd be 100/101 if still about?

    Also a former DDP pick.

    The only other parent of a person on the deathlist at the moment is Shane McGowan's father. Maurice McGowan is probably over 90 already, or atleast near it

    Dilip Kumar should be on the list if he survives the next two months.

     

    Nobel prize winner, Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari is someone I'm keeping an eye on. 83, obese, has had health problems for around 25 years, he and his wife had the coronavirus a few months ago and doesn't appear in public often nowadays.

    I've only got the dads. The Spielberg dad and the Gates dad. It's been a bit over a month since I started this so I'll end up with around 46 at the start of 2022, I guess. I'll probably keep crossing names on this list until I die but I doubt there will be fifty left by then.
