I had been trying to find out for years what became of him and had presumed him long dead! If anybody is able to offer any info on the missing years of birth/death, it would be appreciated! "No info" means I don't have any years for the person, though Google shows that the majority of these names are still living. Though I imagine the likes of Jackie Carlton and Mike Burton must have died off the radar given how old they'd now be now. I also note the list of names is probably incomplete so if I've forgotten anyone, please say and I will add. 19/02/23 EDIT: I've removed Jimmy Cricket because despite being listed on IMDb and Wiki, it doesn't look like he ever appeared on the show.

Obit from the same source.

Probably not given he has blatantly lied about his age.

Does anyone know when his last appearance on Just a Minute was broadcast?

It really isn’t. Already bored of the doom merchants and self appointed medical experts on Twitter telling us that this is going to kill millions worldwide. Most people who have been infected have recovered or are making a recovery. Of the 5000 or so cases there has only been 106 deaths as of today. All the deaths thus far have been in China, primarily in the elderly and those who were already sick/weak. You can add in the contributing factor of poor healthcare in mainland China to that equation. Everyone contracting the virus and being diagnosed overseas is surviving.

What’s wrong with the Telegraph? ... and the Guardian and the Mirror are just WONDERFUL, aren’t they?

Both has beens. I disagree with your sentiment though. I can’t think of any sports star in the UK at current who is idolised on remotely the same level as some of the big American names.

Reaction to his death in the U.S. is absolutely hysterical. Americans idolise sporting stars and actors like they’re demi gods.

I did some research into The Comedians a while back. Quite a few have died off radar. I’ll post my list when I get home in a couple of days time.

As promised, a list of WWII veterans from the British establishment. Much shorter than the U.S. one, but I can't promise it's complete as there is no one "go to" to get this info. Here goes: Royal family *Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (b. 1921) *Queen Elizabeth II (b. 1926) Members of the House of Lords (includes current and former, including all hereditaries who lost seats in 1999 reform) *9th Viscount Falmouth (b. 1919) *21st Baron Saye and Sele (b. 1920) *Lord Michael Shaw (b. 1920) *Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (b. 1921, also listed above) *Baroness Jill Knight (b. 1923) *Baroness Pamela Sharples (b. 1923) *11th Earl of Elgin (b. 1924) *Lord Tony Christopher (b. 1925) *Lord John Eden (b. 1925) *Lord Ted Graham (b. 1925) *3rd Baron Wakehurst (b. 1925) *9th Baron Walsingham (b. 1925) *8th Marquess of Ailesbury (b. 1926) *13th Earl of Airlie (b. 1926) Members of Parliament *Sir Patrick Duffy (b. 1920) Labour *Lord Michael Shaw (b. 1920) Conservative *Baroness Jill Knight (b. 1923, also listed above) Conservative *James Ramsden (b. 1923) Conservative *Eric Cockeram (b. 1924) Conservative *Ben Ford (b. 1925) Labour *Lord John Eden (b. 1925, also listed above) Conservative *Lord Ted Graham (b. 1925, also listed above) Labour Only 4 names altogether Note: Ron Atkins (b. 1916) did not serve because of psoriasis

Seems to have been picked up by a Serbian publication. Though it’s behind a pay wall. According to his Wiki page, he lived in Serbia the past 25 years. Random.

UK obit from Metro I see the NY Times also did a write up.

And what’s that then? A “very naughty boy”?

LOL.

Another World War II veteran. I still haven’t finished my research but between peers and former MPs I could only find 19 who served. That’s down to 17 already with the passings of Lord Chalfont and Lord Ironside.

Imagine how much of a cunt you need to be to want to work as a Bono impersonator.

I don’t research and post on here for the sake of deadpooling (haven’t even participated in any in years), and I certainly don’t post for your sake, SC.

Canadian artist Gordon A. Smith has died aged 100.

She’ll be fine. Anyone who watched Bo Selecta back in the day knows that if she has a problem she just fixes it with a bit of sellotape.

Jack Van Impe, apocalyptic televangelist, dead at 88.

Rhona Wurtele, one half of the famous skiing sisters with her sister Rhoda, has died just a few days short of her 98th birthday. Her twin (a pick on the 20/20 pool) survives her.

Saxophonist Jimmy Heath has died aged 93.

Does anyone know who the oldest Scotland international is now? And the oldest living Rangers player?

The word “legend” is used so liberally on this forum.

Probably, and without a single shred of evidence as per always.
