Summer in Transylvania 1,607 Posted August 26, 2022 17 hours ago, arghton said: Sorry to bump this thread again, but I have to say this was actually not his most recent public appearance. He posed for some photos on the 16th of September 2017, before the Tottenham Hotspur v Swansea City Premier League match at Wembley Stadium: However seemingly this wasn't in any news articles and I could only find one high quality picture of him at that event, that first one. As far as I know he hasn't made any appearances since. It's been nearly 5 years. Immortal with a capital I. For a minute there, when I saw unread content in this subforum, I thought someone on the list had died... then I saw that the two threads bumped were Leslie Phillips and QE2 and realised exactly the contrary. 1 10 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

six feet blunder 161 Posted August 27, 2022 Thought it was Tottenham unveiling a new signing. A 98wheelchair bound player will probably be worth £100 million in todays inflated transfer market 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,092 Posted September 2, 2022 Genuinely how is he still going? He was too ill to attend his wife's inquest over ten years ago and looked absolutely wretched in his last photos over 5 years ago. That he's lasted so long has been a minor miracle.

Perhaps he wished for immortality on a monkey's paw without specifying youth and health? My best guess since I can't think of how else someone can be half way in the grave for 10+ years without falling the rest of the way in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,722 Posted September 2, 2022 It's because while being quite frail, he wasn't as frail as people assumed. He was still living in his own house until shortly before the pandemic started at the very least. (This is not a call that he's well and should be dropped - the opposite. Just, you know, frail and old doesn't mean instant death, as Leslie has shown for over a decade now to DLers!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must confess that when @Ulitzer95 said Leslie Phillips tommorrow in the predict the 6th death thread I got a feeling that he knows or has heard something. He has some knowledge of the upper echelons of society it seems eg the being at an event were Norman Tebbit was present. So he may well have heard a credible rumour was my thought. Could be my jumping the gun and assuming but I suspected authoritative knowledge behind his post!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKeysOfMarinus 366 Posted September 2, 2022 I really hope he makes it to 99, at least. I’m always heartened to think of him still about. Had no idea about him still living in his house until the pandemic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
