One of my friends was at dinner with Lord Carrington not too long ago, said he's fine. Albert McQuarrie, 96, is my former MP (Alex Samond unseated him). I saw him at a political meeting not too long ago, and he's just released his autobiography. He seems to be in top form.

Article is from 2010, and, if I recall correctly, was reported at the time on here

Why is John Bercow "an annoying cunt"? Are you not confusing him for his annoying Labour-voting cunt of a wife?
-
Is that why it says "Possibly living" at the bottom of the page? Infamously reliable means notorious for being unreliable You stated that according to the sources, he was still alive. Neither Wiki or IMDb are claiming he is still alive. Because there's missing information, i.e. no date of death does not mean they are claiming he's still breathing. THINK.

Or a better idea, we stop wasting DL picks on people who both seem perfectly healthy and of whom no reports of ill health have surfaced?

Your ability to read straight off of the Recent Deaths page on Wikipedia never ceases to amaze me...

Decided to a do a little research into chart toppers (singles) in the UK to see who's still around (80+) and made an interesting find. Sally Sweetland had a UK no. 1 in 1953, duetting on a song called "I'm Walking Behind You" with Eddie Fisher. Well, she's still alive aged 103, making her the oldest living UK chart topper... http://www.recordgaz...9c7bbe7405.html Here's the list (including featured singers and composers): Sally Sweetland (b. 1911) Dame Vera Lynn (b. 1917) Ray Charles (b. 1918) Sir Jimmy Young (b. 1921) Doris Day (b. 1922) Kitty Kallen (b. 1922) Kay Starr (b. 1922) Charles Aznavour (b. 1924) Jane Morgan (b. 1924) Tony Bennett (b. 1926) Chuck Berry (b. 1926) Harry Belafonte (b. 1927) Ken Dodd (b. 1927) Vic Damone (b. 1928) Windsor Davies (b. 1930) Rolf Harris (b. 1930) Tab Hunter (b. 1931) Petula Clark (b. 1932) Des O'Connor (b. 1932) J. J. Barrie (b. 1933) Pat Boone (b. 1934) Only person I can't find any info on is a composer called Jerry Carr. Presumably he's dead.

I think you automatically presume too much. Just because she was "throwing parties" doesn't mean she was drinking a litre of gin every night and snorting cocaine off the kitchen worktop. Anyway, if we're talking about the madams, Janie Jones is another one worth keeping an eye on (73 this year).

As mentioned above, the mediamass page just automatically generates typical headline articles from a database of famous names, and every day the date on the article will change. I've never really understood the point in these sites. She is dead, The Times has published an obituary for her > http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/obituaries/article4089900.ece?CMP=OTH-gnws-standard-2014_05_14

No valid obituary as of yet.... Shit. -
You're making this more difficult than you need to. Just use the MEP search and it'll tell you (all on your list bar Sherlock are alive btw) http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/676/ALAN+R._TYRRELL_home.html

Question is, who's next?

No it doesn't. The Peruvian woman, likes hundreds of others, is just a claimant. She hasn't been verified.

Where the bloody hell does it say that? Whoever wrote that article is very bad at maths: "Born December 20, 1897, Filomena Taipe Mendoza is only three months younger than Japanese Misao Okawa, who is the world's oldest person according to Guinness World Records and the US-based Gerontology Research Group." (Misao Okawa was born in March 1898)

Statement from family: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/03/ca-pierson-grant-pr-idUSnBw025973a+100+BSW20140503 (Basically says he's dead)

Oldest man, not oldest person. 106 would be very young for an "oldest person" in any of the countries within the UK.

Well I suppose if you're going to lob yourself from a balcony, you'd have more success without your helmet on...

Well done. Would you like a biscuit?
