Yeah, but minus 15C is "maybe put on a jumper" weather here.

On the contrary, I haven't enjoyed political news this much in years, if ever. Every day brings fresh laughter. We're all screwed anyway, but now, so are they!

72 years will be hard to beat - Greta Garbo pales in comparison. Oft-deadpool fodder Mary Carlisle retired in 1942, I think.

"Retirement for actors is spelt 'DEATH'." - Donald Sutherland a few years back.

Nah, Pollack died in 2008 and was mostly a director. DJL is still alive and was primarily an actor.

Ongoing being 96-ishness. I mean, it is a fair bet he wont be around within 18 months of this post, on age alone.

Shhh! Don't give Shaun any ideas!

Well, he was a rugby player who made 80, so probably made of stern stuff. Whereas Stefan Karl looked frail even without the cancer. Both are, of course, still with us - vagaries, etc.

He is 60, cancer runs in his family, his dad died aged 68. Just saying.

Another classic post by a legend of the forum there.

Nicky Coia, founder owner of Coia's Cafe, right? Parochial humour, everyone else...

I had a back problem a few weeks ago.. Feck!

It wasn't the hardest choice in the world, tbh! Chap reaching life expectancy who has gone quiet, old King in stable condition, soap star/singer both who look to be end of summer on, or Tony Booth.

It was him or Gouffran. No contest, really - get in the team, Albert.

?

If they finally get rid of him on Christmas Day, Devon will have the first (?) 36 point joker in history, of course.

Oh right, I was thinking: what did Sandy Gall do to the Yanks?

Oh, fucking Mr Tumble. Can't stand him.

"We need to rush Jeremy Hunt to the nearest hospital..." "But there aren't any hospitals anymore!" "Isn't it ironic?" "Oh shut up, Alanis..."

Yep. For about 60 seconds before the Daleks kill him.

At Denville Hall, too.

I no longer have those details - the Deathlist Cup taking up a vast chunk of my PM space!

David Winnick and Sir Pickles leaving the Commons has probably improved the average health of our MPs by about 10% though.

Oh it wasn't a death iirc, but someone sodding off for a better paying job. That happened a lot at the time.

Am I the only person who sees this thread, and can't think of a single thing of interest they've seen on TV? I mostly watch train documentaries and Frasier repeats, lately. It's a really bad film. ABBA are good, though. Yeah, best in a few years. They should have axed Jenna Coleman ages ago. I think the space zombies one is the best so far (nicely directed too). Strange season when the Mark Gatiss story is above average, but the 3 part epic is a big letdown!
