Unfortunately, his age is unclear, but considering he probably wasn't the youngest one when elected 30 years ago, he's probably at least octogenarian.

Last night's documentary on the death of boxer Freddie Mills was summat of a form spotters paradise.

 

Pete Murray looked like shit and wheezed when he laughed, Eddie Richardson is packing some pork but looked okay for an 83 year old ex-gangster and Krays associate Micky Fawcett is likely too young to be in serious q/o territory yet.

 

Roger Huntman - on the other hand - who appears to have finally fessed up on who killed Freddie Mills and why commented he'd already "died" (i.e. from health issues - not a contract on his head) and was looking to unburden himself of the secret because death is stalking him etc. Likely to be reported when he goes

What do you guys think about comedian, Bob Newhart? He'll be 89 this year and I'm sure the death of his best friend, Don Rickles, this year might have affected him.

There aren`t enough left I doubt.

 

The fact Jimmy Savile is in it just makes me laugh.

Depending on how the rest of the year goes and if I can work out the names of all the little people, I might make this my Hare's Pool team for next year...

So while I googled a certain ALS-afflicted "Hall of Fame" coach named Willie Wooden (who turned out to be "only" a high school football coach), I noticed how many notable "Willie Wood"s there are. But only one of them has advanced dementia and has been living in an assisted care home for the past 11 years.
