They must be due for another one, surely?

Can see her becoming The Cheese then pegging in Office.

 

Pegging in office sounds more like Bill's thing.

Jimmy Carter, almost by default.  Unless somebody assassinates Donald Trump, I can't see anyone else going before the one-time peanut farmer. 

 

Jimmy is probably the best bet but Bill Clinton is a serious contender.  He's not exactly hale and hearty.

Clinton def won't get anywhere near Bush Sr/Carter longevity, for sure. He'll be lucky to see his mid-80s.

[Deathrace 1,170]

Statistically impressive that all of the four Presidents from Ford to Bush 1 have lived to be at least 93. 

 

I believe that Carter is the first President since Truman to outlive his immediate two successors. If you discount assassinations, I believe he’s the first since Taft. That’s ironic as Taft wasn’t exactly the healthiest looking President. Must be a chance of Obama joining this group too.

Let's be realistic. Carter is 94 and has suffered serious health issues in the past. Let's say he makes it to 105. Dubya and Clinton would be only 83 then and it's very very likely at least one of them will be still alive. No, Carter is not gonna outlive his successors. Or it is soooo unlinkely.

I tend to agree. Can see Carter getting another few years. I'd put a bet on about 96-98 territory. Though I wouldn't rule out Clinton dying from a sudden heart attack given his own poor slate of health and general appearance. He's 73 next year after all.

Bill Clinton has had a heart attack before, and who's to say he wouldn't have one again since he probably won't stop chasing tail until he is dead. And Trump is an obese fast food loving man,it's not implausible 1 of these men are not around 10 years from now.  105 seems a reach for Carter,but even 101 or 102 might be enough to outlast Bubba or Trump.

I know he is a very long shot but how about Jeff Stewart who played Reg Hollis in The Bill

 

He is now 63 years old, slit his wrist in 2008 when he was told his contract for The Bill was not being renewed.  He also refused to leave a NYC hotel in 2011 so he must be due another meltdown soon

Not going to happen. What do you think the entire purpose of Mike Pence as vice president is?

 

Have someone even worse than you for the people who want to take you out next in line to stop yourself being taken out, classic protection technique.

It worked for Dubya!

OoO (who's generally amongst the most reliable tipsters hereabouts) posted a long time ago about serious ill health for Robin Herd (ex-racing driver, famous F1 engineer/constcutor and sometime chairman of Oxford United)

 

The man still breaths but he's a q/o in any reputable British dead pool as and when.

John and Clarence Anglin,they may finally come out of hiding to plea bargin a Parole if they know their health limits the amount of months they have left.

But Carter had cancer and pancreatic cancer is very common in his family. But okay, Donald Trump loves fast food, that's much more serious than cancer and being over 90 years old.

Clinton changed to a primarily vegan diet in 2010.  He looks gaunt because he's lost so much weight, not because he's ill.  He eats the odd piece of salmon, so he isn't strictly vegan, but he's completely changed his diet since early 2010.  I think he's going to live a long time.

You have Little Richard, twice. Swap the words around, and shorten one, the you'd have Rich Little.

Hmm

 

I don't - I'd say the heart trouble puts the miles on his body clock - vegan diet or not - so he won't get close to matching Bush or Carter.

Mrs. Bendre has posted a health update on her IG along with a photo of her now bald. She seems happy though, so I'm glad for her.

She's returned to Mumbai announcing that her cancer treatment is over for now:

'for now' and 'the fight is not over' don't sound like clear of cancer statements though.

Yep, she’s on Trump’s hit list and the likes of Rachael Meadows and Cenk Uyghur will carry out the execution...
