Ok I see why but you can hide my signature if it annoys you.

 

I won't deny I really like your signature, @La Tombe.

There are some interesting names for pools.

Personally... I didn't know Jean-Paul Rappeneau was that old, I thought he was in his early 80s.

He looks great for his age.

even without charlie hebdo attack she wouldn't have same funeral than Johnny.

Johhny was a unique figure in France, and was by far more popular and famous than France Gall (lot of young people don't know her). I see no people in France have same funeral than him ( even Depardieu, Bardot and Zidane)

the funeral of Johnny was so exaggerated. When Bardot will die, she should deserve the same funeral because she is as famous as Johnny in France.

The Calypso Monarch (originally Calypso King) contest is one of the two major annual calypso competitions held in Trinidad as part of the annual carnival celebrations.

 

List:

1956, 1960, 1962, 1963, 1972, 1973 and 1992: Mighty Sparrow, real name Slinger Fransisco (b. 1935) 8-time winner called the "Calypso King of the World". Undefeatable not only in calypso but also in health, as he looks much younger than what he is and still performs despite health issues.

1964: Mighty Bomber, real name Clifton Ryan (1928-2022) Alive according to facebook, it has recent pictures of him (ca. 2019) and a message presumably from him about celebrating his 93th birthday. Often confirms that he is alive on his birthday on 30th of January by thanking god for another year.

1976, 1977, 1981, 1989, 1993, 2004, 2005, 2009 and 2017: Chalkdust, real name Hollis Liverpool (b. 1940) Starting to look older, but still performs.

1978: Calypso Rose, real name Linda McCartha Monica Sandy-Lewis (b. 1940) Like Chalkdust, performs but looks old and likely not in perfect health.

1979, 1985, 1987, 1991 and 1995: Black Stalin, real name Leroy Calliste (1941-2022) Got a serious stroke in 2014 that has affected his speech, however likely indestructible as he has apparently got much better by now.

1980: Lord Relator, real name Willard C. Harris (b. 1948) Can perform, but getting older.

1982: Scrunter, real name Irwin Reyes Johnson (b. ca. 1950 or before) "Undisputed king of Parang Soca" still performs occasionally.

1983: Tobago Crusoe, real name Ortniel Bacchus (b. ca. 1945/1946) Recently made a song about wearing covid.

1986: David Rudder (b. 1953) Called a "national hero" of Trinidad and Tobago.

1988, 1990, 1996 and 2007: Cro-Cro (b. unknown) Quite controversial nowadays.

1997: Gypsy, real name Winston Edward Peters (b. 1953) Also a politician.

2001: Denyse Pummer (b. 1953) Doesn't look healthy.

2002, 2008: Sugar Aloes, real name Michael Anthony Osouna (b. unknown) Singing since the 1970s. His son was murdered in 2006.

Siiri Rantanen who died last week had for a while been of the four last "iron ladies" of Finland's so-called greatest generation. These four have still attended events, appeared on tv and been in the news until recent years, all after turning 95. The other three:

Satu Tiivola (98) Traiblazing restauranteur, entrepreneur and Kauppaneuvos. Oldest of the four. Suffered a stroke at 93 in 2017 but fully recovered. In the early half of 2020 she had rough covid that required weeks in hospital and not long after broke her back and was hospitalised another two weeks. Again recovered quite well, but hasn't made any appearances since 2021 and possibly suffers from dementia as her memory never returned to the same level after that fall.

Jutta Zilliacus (97) Finnish-born, ethnic Estonian journalist, author and Swedish People's Party Member of Parliament 1975-1986. Mostly in good health, frequently interviewed and posts on facebook nearly every day.

Aira Samulin (96) Dance teacher, entrepreneur and arrogant arsehole. Youngest and toughest of the group. Cervical cancer in her 40s, suffered a "severe stroke" in 2018 at 91 but fully recovered. Ill with severe flu or pneumonia last year but again completely recovered and again attending events quite frequently. Usually always in the first row in the audience of Finland's version of Strictly Come Dancing.

96-year-old Aira Samulin falsely said to have died. She says she's in "excellent physical and mental condition" and was somehow confused with a massive wooden bull artwork (that had fallen down) in a tourist attraction she owns.
