Arrested today for - potentially - insighting physical attacks on the offices of those conspicuously more successful in politics than he ever was (so that's upping the ante from the days when he simply turned up at Labour events and screamed in the faces of delegates, then). I actually got within a few yards of him this year and he looks rough (lips weren't exactly a pink colour and this was a warm day as he railed anti-vaxxing rhetoric into a megaphone in front of, ooohhh, at least 19 devotees). Anyway, the extent to which he and a full deck were ever in the same room is debateable and he's a random enough activist that he may just piss off truly dangerous types, and - frankly - I didn't think he looked that well physically for a 74 year old when I saw him. Latest goings on: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-59717571 Was thinking the same earlier today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,314 Posted December 19, 2021 Also for a man who is underweight looks ill and is nearly 75 and has refused the vaccine Covid might have fun with him if he gets it which given omicrons increased transmissability and Corbyn being constantly surrounded by people seems pretty likely.

I think he wanted to be arrested today as he is getting more publicity and he thinks that is a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is getting harder to pick uniques and I cannot decide if my DDP team stands a good chance of beating my total of 38 unique picks that I achieved this year!

Lafaucheuse 4,045 Posted December 20, 2021 French miss meteo Catherine Laborde suffers from dementia with Lewy bodies and is said to be in a really bad shape. She has it for years now, I watched this interview last year which broke my heart because she seems so lost and confused. Lewy illness is a mix of Parkinson and Alzheimer apparently (didn't know about that) and she experiences hallucinations, convulsions etc… talked about committing suicide with her husband as a possibility. She's really well known in France but I don't think she is outside of there… Anyway I put it here for anyone who cares ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,045 Posted December 21, 2021 Wouldn’t be too surprised if Damiano David from Maneskin dies suddenly in his 20´s : doesn’t seem to take much precaution with drugs or alcohol + rock and 27 yo doesn’t make a good combination 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,338 Posted December 22, 2021 An assortment of names I think deadpoolers should some pay attention to with regards to 2022.... Richard Wilson Barry Cryer Don King Robbie Coltrane Robert Duvall Michael J Fox Berry Gordy Coltranes age and obesity and the length of time since Michael J Fox was diagnosed with parkinsons disease are particular factors to note. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miranda lass 98 Posted December 22, 2021 Never actually considered Robbie but good point. Micheals included on my 2022 list. I have a couple ppl who've died already and thus need replacements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is fellow American music executive Clive Davis as active and healthy seeming? Davis's annual gala still went ahead this year, though postponed for a few months because the big man was suffering from Bell's palsy. He was interviewed by Rolling Stone in September. Seems healthy but definitely starting to look ancient. 90 in April. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,045 Posted December 22, 2021 Thinking about putting David Bittner to my ao pool (yeah I’m spoiling my pick but I’m just generous so enjoy) : he is an adventurer who is well known for his work with bears such as the new documentary « l’ours en moi » (the bear within me ?).
