The irony of him dying on Mandelas birthday will not b e lost on people in South Africa I';m sure..

Nelson. Make the most of it just in case its the last one!

Dude seriously, you are kinda clutching at straws here I know,but if theres breaking news tonight that Nelson Mandela died today you'd start to wonder wouldnt you...

state tv have denied the reports.Why anyone still believes them to start with I don't know..If its a Zsa Zsa Gabor style coma he'll be jogging round the park in a few days...

Juan Maria Bordaberry has died. He'll go on the DDP's list of the missed. He must have got over excited celebrating Uruguays victory over Argentina in the Copa America last night

Tomorrow is Nelson Mandelas 93rd birthday.Jim Callaghan died the day before his 93rd birthday.So if Nelson sur vives today he will have lived longer than every British Prime Minister.Another ex PM Ted Heath died 6 years ago today.sunday july 17,2005.Isn't that a wierd coincidence!

he's going back to Cuba for more cancer treatment

yet another miss for us then...

Actress Googie Withers has died at 94.She was best known for playing the part of the prison governor in Within These Walls in the 1970s. edit:just noticed theres a;llready a Googie Withers thread.sorry!

Time is no longer on the sid e of songwriter Jerry Ragovoy who has died aged 80

Actor Antonio Prieto who played the part of the eldest of the 3 bandit Rojo brothers in A Fistful of Dollars has died at 85

Rupert Murdoch might be clinging on for dear life in more ways than one but his German counterpart Leo Kirch isn't anymore

Um..I hate to point this out,but if you look 3 posts up...

Don't know how many of you are fans of Torchwood like me but the new series starts tonight in the UK and the plot is that we go out of business basically! People around the world just stop dying and no-one knows why. To be honest until Betty Ford ended the drought I was starting to think the plot might be happening for real! Anyway if you've never seen the show I would give it a watch or tape it.9pm on BBC1.It's brilliant

I agree, I say we take off Reagan next year, and put Bush Sr. on instead for our White House member. Then whoever doesn't attend Bush's funeral is our next pick, and so on. George HW Bush did look quite old and frail when he did an interview on the Larry King show last year.He's 87 which is the same age his brother was when he .died last year.I definately think he should be on next years list. That said,Nancy Reagan is 90 and frail and could succumb to a fall or stroke at any time as well so I don't think she should be taken off the list just yet.One former first lady who definate;ly should not be on next years list is Roslyn Carter.She looks remarkably good for a woman in her 80s!

I can confirm it was brilliant!

he moved into a nursing home just over a year ago after a rapid deterioration in his health.I'm surprised he made it to his 95th birthday TBH.If he's still alive in another month he will have lived longer than every member of his 3 cabinets.,beating Clyde Cameron.Hes allready outlived every other Australian PM by a couple of years

The famous pioneering artist Zdenek Sykora has died at 91 here is an example of his genius also just found out that the painter of the controversial Black Christ Ronald Harrison has died

Nancy Reagan looking good at Betty Fords funeral don't you t hink? Bear in mind Betty Ford was too ill to attend Ladybird Johhsons funeral a full 4 y ears before she died,so Nancy should be around a while yet I reckon!

I am happy to announce the death of Rupert murdochs attempts to take over the world James Bond stylee

seriously though,I haver a feeling he wont last long now... You seem to have a lot of those feelings I know.The technical term for it is 'optimism'

Sylvestor Stallones dad Frank has died at 91.No idea how famous he wa s in his own right but if theres an obit in the paper I guess he must be

Fans of the movie Home Alone might remember the actor Roberts Blossom who played the part of Marley the neighbour and who has died aged 87

Apparantely the funeral starts today and lasts till thursday.Thats one hell of a big bag of popcorn I'm going to have to buy then..

seriously though,I haver a feeling he wont last long now...
