Patricia Knatchbull 2nd Countess of Burma and on the boat when Louis Mountbatten was killed, b 1924, only just realised she's still breathing.

 

Bet she's got a serious case of tinnitus!

90-year-old Janet Waldo, bit-part actress and the voice of Penelope Pitstop, Judy Jetson, Josie (of the Pussycats) and Morticia Addams might make someone a decent unique pick somewhere down the line.

[Guest Guest]

Nobel Prize winning author Doris Lessing, 88.

Just an idea, like. How many aged and infirm celebs are likely to be in the catchment of Maidstone Hospital and poor enough to need the NHS for all their healthcare requirements?

 

That C'diff nightmare didn't end last year, as they'd like you to believe. A Cumbrian born minor celeb 'Old Soldier' Joe Nixon died in Maidstone this year and that bout of C'diff he contracted in the hospital didn't exactly help his battle for life.

 

Who is our Maidstone and Tonbridge correspondent?

Hk Actress / entertainer / personality Lydia Shum has been rushed to hospital.

 

Rumoured here to be suffering stage 4 liver cancer since last year.

 

Probably just famous enough to squeak a UK obit.

The Good Doctor Hackenslash I think.

Marathon runner Kerryn McCann who won gold medals at the 2002 and 2006 Commonwealth Games has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

 

McCann beats the cancer.

[Canadian Paul 93]

Surgeon and convicted wife murderer, Dr Charles E. Friedgood, 89, is suffering from terminal cancer.

 

He's spent over 30 years in jail and is New York's oldest prisoner. The New York Times have done a big article on him this weekend, so I should think they'll give him a mention when he's gone.

 

Parole denied

Thai king Bhumibol Adulyadej One to watch

[maryportfuncity 10,013]

Rosie Wright accident prone pre-schooler who'd make a selection like Kirsty Howard or Josie Grove look positively tasteful.

[Emily the Strange 2]

Nobel Prize winning author Doris Lessing, 88.

I had no idea she was still alive!

[Emily the Strange 2]

Thai king Bhumibol Adulyadej One to watch

 

He was on my list.... my secret list....

I would like to forward the name of Roger Moore to the 2008 possibles.

Well now, the old fella is 80 in October. The last time I saw him he really was begining to look very old.

Due for consideration?

 

Roger More celebrates his 80th birthday

Update on Tony Snow - made a TV appearance on Jon Stewart last night. Looking a lot thinner with greyer hair, but otherwise seemed quite cheerful and robust.

Kickin' off in Kurdistan soon. Does anyone hereabouts know which rebel leaders are high profile enough to be potential point scorers in a deadpool?

[Cowboy Ronnie 77]

After the nice homecoming thrown for Benazir Bhutto, maybe we should have "any one Pakistani PM" as an '08 selection

 

welcome home Madame President

Country legend Porter Wagoner is seriously ill in hospital. This article says his condition is still to be diagnosed and his condition is deteriorating.

 

Porter is in serious condition at a local hospital and is asking for prayers from his friends and fans.

 

Keep up to date at the Porter Wagoner messageboard. (Which I thought was a rather fascinating little piece of Americana )

Hmmm let me think, some of my nominations for 2008 are:

• Jan Wolkers, Dutch eccentric
  

 

Dead

 

EDIT:

Dutch novelist, poet and sculptor Jan Wolkers dies at home on Texel island, aged 81

Dutch literary great Jan Wolkers dies at 81

[Emily the Strange 2]

 

He was on my list.... my secret list....

 

................... And what list might that be HHNF?

 

 

The one for next year. My personal deathlist.

Wolkers (see previous post) was on it too.

[Banshees Scream 107]

SHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee was 83!

 

 

Anyway what does everybody think about Tony Snow for 2008? I'm not really confident that he will be 'rocking the boat' for us in so many words. I didn't see him on Letterman, but when you resign from a substantial political position 'it's not like' you do it for no reason.

Ricky Tomlinson has his bypass
