Eberhard van der Laan is 62 today!

Liu Xiabo

His wife mentions they keep him comfortable which suggests he might be receiving palliative care.

They can do but a swift decline can finish them offin a few weeks or months.

He has looked frail for many years but could still walk a year ago.It says he is now in a wheelchair and needs dressing.It looks like he is being propped up by pillows in the pics.

Has that Terry Thomas in his last interview look.Sweepstake 5th October 2017.

It is his wife definitely .

If you look closely you can see the facial features.A shell of his former self.I only realised it was actually him as I recognised his wife.

Jake looks terrible :/

"Well, back to the hospital for a few days a little backlash but nothing serious, but then just home again. Here's life, two steps forward and one more back, in the end, one gets on your way: o) Have a great day today." Message a couple of hours ago from his Facebook page.

Absolutely.I knew of Lazytown and knew Robbie Rotten by face only before Stefan got ill.It seems Lazy Town was after I stopped watching kids TV. I reckon he is a childhood hero to anyone 20 or under.Of course the memes since he got ill and the variety of videos on the net have exposed him to a much wider demographic hence why I said the DL committee should put him on the list.He will get a hell of a lot of internet attention when he goes.Timelines will be flooded.I feared the committee might think he was just a kids tv actor with cancer but when we consider today`s mediums he is probably today`s equivalent of Harry H Corbett Tony Hart Brian Cant or John Noakes. When I was younger it was Richard Cadell and Matthew Corbett out of Sooty Neil Buchanan out of Art Attack and Mark Speight out of SMART that were the big stars.Remember being gutted when he hung himself.

I wouldnt be surprised if he made 100.

My childhood heros are dropping like flags.

91 today

Can`t you and grace just pop over to see how he is?Would be useful.

Whatever happened to Zorders was he banned or did he just disappear?

Is that better or worse than strong and stable?

Mugabe`s list is actually pretty decent Madeline McCann aside.Got a lot of the hits many of us overlooked.

Is it juvenile that I find this Mugabe bloke genuinely funny? That would look very bad out of context!

Well on the bright side only 72 and a half hours until transfer day for Death by Numbers ends!
