Anybody found a link for Bea Riley yet?

The American's probably would be able to afford a socialist healthcare system without raising taxes - all they'd have to do is half their bloody spending on defence!

According to Wikipedia, E. Beatrice Riley, Australia's oldest person has died but this information has suddenly appeared without any verification...... hmmm

You're a month too late mate...

Found a suitable obituary for Tom Buckley. No obit yet for Levy Cardoso though... I really doubt there will be one.

Waldemar Levy Cardoso has died aged 108. He was the last surivivng field marshal from the Brazilian Army serving in WWII and he was also one of two surviving WWI-ERA veterans still alive. This now makes Josef Kowalski of Poland the last surviving WWI-era veteran and brings the world total for veterans (including Douglas Terrey's claim of being a veteran) down to 8.

Wow the deaths sure are slowing down... I suppose this is the consequence of having a busy April...

If you're a Jesus Freak or a Bible Basher (although I don't know why any Christians would join this site) DO NOT READ BELOW! Here's the poem James Kirkup was charged under the old blasphemy laws for (after Mary Whitehouse brought the charges against him).... The Love That Dares To Speak Its Name By James Kirkup As they took him from the cross I, the centurion, took him in my arms- the tough lean body of a man no longer young, beardless, breathless, but well hung. He was still warm. While they prepared the tomb I kept guard over him. His mother and the Magdalen had gone to fetch clean linen to shroud his nakedness. I was alone with him. For the last time I kissed his mouth. My tongue found his, bitter with death. I licked his wound- the blood was harsh For the last time I laid my lips around the tip of that great cock, the instrument of our salvation, our eternal joy. The shaft, still throbbed, anointed with death's final ejaculation I knew he'd had it off with other men- with Herod's guards, with Pontius Pilate, With John the Baptist, with Paul of Tarsus with foxy Judas, a great kisser, with the rest of the Twelve, together and apart. He loved all men, body, soul and spirit. - even me. So now I took off my uniform, and, naked, lay together with him in his desolation, caressing every shadow of his cooling flesh, hugging him and trying to warm him back to life. Slowly the fire in his thighs went out, while I grew hotter with unearthly love. It was the only way I knew to speak our love's proud name, to tell him of my long devotion, my desire, my dread- something we had never talked about. My spear, wet with blood, his dear, broken body all open wounds, and in each wound his side, his back, his mouth - I came and came and came as if each coming was my last. And then the miracle possessed us. I felt him enter into me, and fiercely spend his spirit's finbal seed within my hole, my soul, pulse upon pulse, unto the ends of the earth- he crucified me with him into kingdom come. -This is the passionate and blissful crucifixion same-sex lovers suffer, patiently and gladly. They inflict these loving injuries of joy and grace one upon the other, till they dies of lust and pain within the horny paradise of one another's limbs, with one voice cry to heaven in a last divine release. Then lie long together, peacefully entwined, with hope of resurrection, as we did, on that green hill far away. But before we rose again, they came and took him from me. They knew not what we had done, but felt no shame or anger. Rather they were glad for us, and blessed us, as would he, who loved all men. And after three long, lonely days, like years, in which I roamed the gardens of my grief seeking for him, my one friend who had gone from me, he rose from sleep, at dawn, and showed himself to me before all others. And took me to him with the love that now forever dares to speak its name. :o :o :o :o :o

Millington has just died according to the BBC.....

What, like our crazy one-eyed Scotsman? Well they're very respected in the US... probably due to amount of travelling they do across the country and the countless events they attend. Let's be honest how many of us are going to be attending festivals and conventions when we're in our late 80s/early 90s?? I think the fact that they're dwarfs also makes interesting reading for an obituary... dwarfs don't usually live very long due the they're organs being closely compacted and thus giving them a crap immune system....

yes, but worse

Who would you have fill his shoes? A crazy one-eyed hillbilly Republican?

Farrah Fawcett's Father Flies out to say Farewell

And how many tall ones? Most likely nine....

Industrial designer David Mellor has died aged 78....

Argh damnit... I really liked him as well... he was the one that danced with Judy Garland offset Ah well six dwarf munchkins left....

Came across a report by the BBC on the last war-time MP, Ernest Millington (93). He is the last remaining MP elected prior to the 1945 election (post-war), of which there are four remaining former MPs.... Millington, Michael Foot (95), John Freeman MBE (94) and Francis Noel-Baker (89). Additionally, there are four remaining former MPs from the 1950 election: Freeman, Foot, Reader Harris (95) and Robert Carr (92). All possibilites for 2010 but I doubt all of them will make it until next year... Foot should do though...

Who?

Looks like it's going to be a lonely party grobler....

Strangely enough I've heard of him... he was performing in Vegas when I went there a few years ago... plus he was parodied on MXC (American dubbed Takeshi's Castle)

As far as I know, there is no such list. However, it was the 1930s, as apposed to the 1910s when WWI took place. However there were much less of them and they were all older at the time - if you give it another five years I'd say the list on wiki will be just about as reliable as it can be... but at the moment new names keep springing up in the media all the time... a new Fascist Forces members was added to the list on wiki last week so there are clearly much more out there than originally thought. I think it's safe to say there must be 50+.....

Can we stop talking about Jade Goody? I'd rather not be reminded of her again... or at least not until Halloween

Dancer and choreographer Frankie Manning has died of pneumonia at the age of 94... I was going to put him on my DDP team as well but I had fears as to whether he'd get an brit obit or not.

Lard Bazaar, please don't tell me that that's what I think it is in your display pic.....

Polish artist Eugeniusz Waniek has died at the age of 103. The centenarians seems to be dropping fast this month... Levi-Strauss and Niemeyer are hanging on in there though... perhaps having their names on DL gives them something to live for...
