ladyfiona 2,577 Posted June 21, 2021 James Michael Tyler who played Gunther on Friends has stage 4 prostate cancer and apparently can't walk anymore. I reckon he won't last 2022 as cancer has spread to his bones. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,701 Posted June 21, 2021 Norman Tebbit (b. 1931, 90) and Vin Scully (b. 1927, 93) have both lost their wives during the last 7-8 months de Klerk and James Michael Tyler both fighting cancer, likely good picks for next year's list if they're still alive in 2022. Gorbachev, Ozzy Osbourne and Louis Farrakhan for DL returnees. I have a feeling that if not all, two or atleast one of these is going to go just as everyone forgets about him. And why not Dilip Kumar? He can't live forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like a list of the oldest people who produce sex toys that are still alive. I'm thinking of running a theme team 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,741 Posted June 22, 2021 It's nearly possible to watch MK's growth here from adolescent to young adult just by noting the improved subtlety of his digs and change up from outright rude to mere sarcasm. Amusing. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,701 Posted June 29, 2021 I've probably mentioned him before, but Sam Nujoma. Last of the "founding fathers of Africa" after the death of Kaunda and also the only person alive to have the title of "Father of the Nation" after the death of Michael Somare. He was the first President of Namibia and is now 92 years old. There is a handful of other "founders of nations" alive, though: Jacob Zuma (b. 1942) Recently sentenced to 15 months in jail. Salva Kiir Mayardit (b. 1951) First President and founder of South Sudan, the newest country in the world that gained independence on 9th of July 2011. Nursultan Nazarbayev (b. 1940) "Leader of the Nation", first leader of Kazakhstan. Probably still ruling the country. Nayef Hawatmeh (b. 1938) Not really a founder of a country, but seen as some kind of a national leader. Leonid Kravchuk (b. 1934) Ukraine's first President.

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted July 3, 2021 Happened upon a bunch of anti-vaxxers holding up the local traffic, in the centre the diminutive and somewhat frail figure of Piers Corbyn (74). Jezza's big brother didn't look that robust and I may even have detected a notably blue tint to his lips. Some of his healthier looking friends weren't that keen on letting randoms taking phone photos too close to their man on the megaphone and - in any case - I'd have been wandering into a mob lacking vaccines, but he's here if you can pick him out.

It ain't just about the jabs - check out his Wiki page. Piers thinks the virus is a hoax and it's been near-enough invented by mega-rich people to close down the economy and fast-track the polarity between a handful of billionaires and the rest of the seven billion of us.
