Crowds in the streets are very happy with our first hit of the year. https://x.com/LucAuffret/status/1876712387186717117?t=2vz5aEqakfmRsntPMdtpSQ&s=19

Interview with a random friend which says Beenhakker cannot live the way he wants to anymore: https://www.ad.nl/regiosport-rotterdam/simon-kelder-nestor-van-bestuurdersgilde-ik-ben-80-jaar-dan-moet-verstand-prevaleren-boven-gevoel~ac97c962/ Don't think he has long left.

He was present at the match, both because he is an advisor to the supervisory board, and because he played for Sparta for 8 years. Here's a pic from yesterday's match: https://www.anpfoto.nl/search.pp?pictureid=516176667&page=1&pos=1

Merckx reacts on the death of Van Looy on cam - looks worse than earlier this year but not awful either: https://sporza.be/nl/2024/12/18/eddy-merckx-neemt-met-pijn-afscheid-van-boezemvriend-gemaakt-om-100-te-worden-maar-laatste-weken-ging-het-slecht~1734518177996/ . Van Looy called Merckx last week after his fall, so his health declined quickly.

-edit- didn't use the search good enough..

Mr Singularity Ray Kurzweil, 76 and 80 supplements a day, is worth a mention as well i think.

I see a cover coming up!

Heath died earlier this year, Haynes died this week: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/13/roy-haynes-obituary

Carol Burnett has quite some history with the National Enquirer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnett_v._National_Enquirer,_Inc. .

Only Joanne remaining now (86), who has made a few gospel albums.

Just looked up how he was doing, but he has concerts planned until june next year. Here you can see him enjoying an aubade for his 97th birthday.

Sounds like a nice guy:

Legit question, they almost started to doubt themselves, but Nicklaus is of German descent and this took place at a golf club in Sligo (where Nickolson's mom came from). My mom even sent me pics of the helicopter as evidence (but that doesn't prove anything)

My parents did drove along the Irish west coast last month, and at a certain moment they saw a motherfuckin huge helicopter at a golf course. When asking around they heard it was Jack Nickolson's, and that he came by regularly. I'll ask them if they still know which course it was.

Great find! Though I would need to be extremely lonely before willing to talk to Jack van Gelder (even though I once was very fond of him, but i was still a child and loved Ter Land, Ter Zee en In De Lucht).
