The internet is full of rubbish and you lap it up like a kitten to milk. Of all the things I expected to see in the first new post on here, that was certainly not it. Also, use of the word shagging will have Gooseberry swooning like a Jane Austen character any moment now...

The age group is narrow 78-82 so might be more use of where will we be in five years time but some might be useful for theme teams. When cross referencing the entire DDP rosta against my reserve list of 1100 names there is always the possibility of errors creeping in especially where people are listed in strange ways (normally by title) 1. Robert Swindells Writer (b.1939) 2. Tony Hatch Composer (b.1939) 3. John Gummer Politician (b.1939) 4. Margaret Drabble Writer (b.1939) 5. Jack Cunningham Politician (b.1939) 6. Peter S.

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted November 5, 2021 Elke Sommer turns 81 today. As one of the last surviving cast members of A Shot In The Dark and And Then There Were None among other films, she may well be worth considering for the 2022 DL. No recent health information, just a hunch 2022 may be her year and that she’ll go at the age of 81. I really hope I’m wrong but then again my Yaphet Kotto hunch turned out to be correct and he was 81...... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Daredevil 1,189 Posted November 5, 2021 In case not already mentioned, famous French singer Jacques Dutronc deserves some serious consideration for the 2022 DL. Dutronc is reportedly in failing health like Françoise Hardy (who has been discussed on this forum as another possible contender for the 2022 DL numerous times). https://news.in-24.com/lifestyle/news/77303.html 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To make this a little stronger of a case, compensated chronic liver disease typically has a 12-year median survival. Seems as though the kind he has is decompensated as it was reported he was suffering from liver encephalopathy and that’s the conclusion my limited reading brought me to. Brings the median survival down to 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because he’s acknowledged that he’s 83 and therefore probably too old to run as an MP again? I’d call that common sense. I suppose you think he has cancer too? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
