Lafaucheuse 4,051 Posted April 6, 2023 42 minutes ago, arghton said: I checked and he isn't on drol's Immortalsl list. However if he was, he'd still be at 86 quite a "youngster" there considering only a handful of them are under 87 (excluding the doge, there's Fujimori, Comical Ali, Yu Miu-Lin, Joseph Estrada, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, Nritya Gopal Das and Superstar Billy) was sure he was on ! if he hangs on till 2024 (which I doubt) he clearly deserves a spot 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sly Ronnie 886 Posted April 6, 2023 2 hours ago, prussianblue said: I know he's objectively highly questionable (business practices, political corruption, messy personal life, etc. etc.), but I can't help but like Silvio and be sad at the prospect of him going. He's an in-joke/mascot/talking point with a couple of my uni friends, to the extent that our pub quiz team is named Berlusconi Macaroni. It's the absurd and surreal aspects of the man we love, making dental hygienists political candidates, hugging lambs, the weird hair, on top of the charisma, the sheer chutzpah, the reinventions, the great survivor aspect. A life worthy of an opera, or at least a soap opera. How can you not have a certain awe for a man with a dedicated Wikipedia page for his trials and allegations? In short, a magnificent bastard. Yeah, a mixed bag really. A slimy reptile for sure but also one who bank-rolled arguably the greatest European club side of all time. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now his kidneys and breathing are getting better and he's "been constantly improving for 72 hours". The question is...are they lying or is he actually improving and even if he's improving, could it be terminal lucidity? We'll see. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
