British forum, innit?

Anytime you post, this is how it reads in my mind.

There surely can’t be many MPs, peers and MEPs still alive who are older than the head of state now? I wonder if she will survive the remaining few? Baroness Sharples, Lord Christopher, Sir Patrick Duffy and Ben Ford spring to mind, plus there’s a few other ancient peers who were kicked out of the Lords in 1999.

Chris Stein has always looked like shite. I thought he'd be dead long before now tbh.

Tweet reporting the death of American historian Charles P. Roland (wiki), at the age of 104.

Updated for the death of Charles McCormick. Not much longevity in that group...

Get Australian painter Guy Warren (wiki) on your shortlists. Turns 101 in three days time, and just returned home after surviving a stroke last month.

Yup. Times obit for John Peake.

Obit (in German). Points please @chilean way!

Leaves just two surviving MPs who are WWII veterans – Sir Patrick Duffy (b. 1920) and Ben Ford (b. 1925). Both Labour.

Seems to be a bit of confusion in the last few days as to Con Cluskey's real age. He was initially reported to be 80 (Nov 1941) then 81 (Nov 1940) and now 86 (Nov 1935). The last one is in fact correct. He lived in Elland and here's his residency record from Ancestry: Name: Conleth J Cluskey Birth Date: 1933-1935 Residence Date: 2008-2010 Address: The Barn, New Hall, Whitwell Green Lane, HX5 9PH Residence Place: Elland, West Yorkshire, England The residency records suggest that the traditionally used birthdate of this brother is also wrong. Possible that the record company shaved a few years off for image purposes? Probably.

Looks 56 to me.

Updated for the death of Con Cluskey.

I love it how you get owned on here, every single week, but rather than admit you’re wrong you double down, then come back the next day for some more. You’re like the gimp of DL Forums.

Updated for the death of Chris Bailey.

@Gisooo, did you submit this to IMDb? I see they've added it to her profile, which is alarming because there is no real evidence that these are the same two people.

According to an edit to the Joe and Beth Krush Wiki page, American illustrator Joe Krush died on March 7, 2022, aged 103. Can't find any sources to back this up, though the edit looked legit. A pick in the Centenarians Deadpool.

There was a post on FB earlier stating that American (UK-based) dancer Ann Hutchinson Guest MBE (wiki) has died aged 103. The author has since removed it. Fake news or told to take it down before an official announcement? Hmm, let's see... Several teams, including myself, have her in the Centenarians Deadpool.

Ting Mao-shih (wiki, b. 1925) is another name you could add to your list @drol. Minister of Foreign Affairs, 87–88.

Echeverria please

Yoshitada Minami was born in 1908 and died in 1966.

Times death notice for John Peake CBE (wiki), aged 97, British Olympic field hockey player and silver medallist (1948). A unique DDP pick.

In fairness, the Calment switch theory existed before then.

Updated for the death of Bobby Rydell. Chubby Checker lives on and will be 81 in October...
