Radar Online now with the hot goss on... Vladimir Putin: https://radaronline.com/p/vladimir-putin-living-last-day-life-only-talking-doctor-health-worsens/

I assume he just took the job to give a hand-out to a prospective follow-up employer? Every government eventually ends. The Conservatives had their 14 years and now it's the other team's turn. It's kind of how it's supposed to be. I don't think he's so naive to have expected anything else.

Indeed a pointless punt by Perhaps.

After the death of Dianne Feinstein Chuck Grassley is now the most fossilized member of the US Senate. Not sure if he's thread-worthy but in the centuries of his stay in the Senate, 20 marriages have happened within people of his office: https://politicalwire.com/2023/10/19/chuck-grassleys-office-has-produced-20-marriages/#disqus_thread

I have a feeling someone of our more excitably members might be behind this TWITTER account: https://twitter.com/celebritypool?lang=de

Nigerian actor Mr. Ibu, who I think has been mentioned here before, was again in hospital and is now seeking donations "so his legs will not be cut off": https://independent.ng/nollywood-actor-mr-ibu-sick-solicits-support/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Okafor Edit: ooh, with BBC link: https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/clw7zewpn78o

If he slowly slips into dementia and gets progressively more unhinged, this thread might be the next one to attempt the 200 pages. But I also imagine a conveniently timed plane crash and then possible sightings in the next 10-20 years. A stroke does seem the most likely end though.

You see, he didn't know Hitler was a bad man. If only he could have read the emotions of the people around him...

On oxygen after chest infection: https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/celebs-tv/escape-countrys-jonnie-irwin-oxygen-8838538 2024 or not? Looks pretty 50:50 to me.

Roland Griffiths is a hit for me here, I'm getting suspiciously close to the top.

Ooh, someone caught on I'll sub with David Graham.

Big hit for me, in AltObits, too. The B-Team breaks the Top 10 (he will obit).

There is a live ticker right now on their council drama regarding their illegally built mansion: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/captain-tom-daughter-spa-live-31207312

I was wondering if Wildlife SOS would qualify. It seems their episodes are on YouTube, but too short! And apart from Simon Cowell, I was wondering who else to pick I quickly focused on Virginia McKenna (hence the show I picked), but couldn't figure out,/didn't have the time to see whether she appeared in at least two episodes.

Zubin Mehta has cancelled Berlin concerts for health reasons: https://slippedisc.com/2023/10/zubin-cancels-berlin-phil-dudamel-jumps-in/

Hm, why did I post it here and not in the Brian Blessed thread?

Alright, here's my team, trying to go for the known and obvious names: 1. Jimmy Carter 2. Rob Burrow 3. Steve McMichael 4. Ismail Haniyeh 5. Jonnie Irwin 6. Michael Tilson Thomas 7. Franz Beckenbauer 8. Joe Doering 9. Simon Cowell (SOS Wildlife) 10. Dikembe Mutombo 11. Nigel Starmer-Smith 12. Charlie Bird 13. Roland R. Griffiths 14. Chris Stone (Australian Football) 15. Johnny Ruffo 16. Roberta Flack 17. Frank Field 18. Rick "Black Bart" Harris 19. Patrick Murray 20. Cale Yarborough subs: 1. Shane MacGowan 2. James Whale 3. Graham Caveney

New interview with the Express. He now says he has 6-8 months left: https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1821648/James-Whale-illness-two-funerals He's planning two funerals, one to enjoy one himself.

US professional golfer John Schroeder has recently died: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/spokesman/name/john-schroeder-obituary?id=53268095 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Schroeder_(golfer)

Maybe this is revealing that he secretly always wanted to be Tony Bennett.

I was already losing hope, had him picked more last year than this year. But it might push my B-Team into Top 10 territory once the year is over. And by the way, one of the worst people of the planet.

Update, everything's fine, he takes oral medication that works: https://parade.com/news/dolph-lundgren-cancer-battle-update-life-blessings

So when Rose West was being described as dying, or close to death, or terminally ill (I can't recall), it was actually a warning to her because she was becoming dangerously fat: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/rose-wests-bizarre-prison-life-29995261 "In February 2019, news was shared that West ballooned to 18 stone and was considered "dangerously overweight". She was told that if she didn't lose weight she could face an early death, so she opted to go on a ketogenic diet in a bid to lose excess fat, according to reports. West's weight spiralled as she lived off a diet of cake, crisps and chocolate, but she had to ditch the sugary treats for more nutritious foods such as fish, salads and vegetables. Medics said West sufferers from high blood pressure and risked developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes. "West has been told on a number of occasions that she is dangerously overweight," one jail source told The Daily Star. "She has opted to go on the keto diet, which promises rapid weight loss quickly if you stick strictly to the rules. "She is so heavy that she is often out of breath and sometimes has to have help getting off the toilet." West's new diet saw her consume only 20g of carbohydrates a day and she was told not to consume more than 1,500 calories daily."
