Recommended Posts

You’re telling me that folk like the Qatari journalist, the actor who made a very brief appearance in Miami Connection, and the grandmother of the late Prince Georg-Constantin of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach were never notable? I’m stunned by that development really...

At least the princess is safe. 

 

According to this list, she is the oldest verified living royal in Europe:

This makes her as notable as the "oldest member of the Lesothean parliament" or the "oldest claimants to be a father of Elvis Presley"

But she may discuss abiut this titel with the Dowager Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn and the Duchess of Grafton.

Just needed sayin:
Damn you @Predictor how did you find Jeffrey Foskett?  And/or why didn't everyone?   Almost a solo for me (You can say the same I reckon lol)
 

Well, I wanted to fill the "glorified Beach Boys groupie" quota on my team, and John Stamos apparently stopped aging in the 19-freaking-80s so Foskett it is! :lol: Are there any recent health updates regarding him? Solo or not, if he survives 2020, then that's a wasted pick...

Thorne is an unique for Ain't It Grand to Be Blooming Well Dead - just highlights how quick his health took a turn for the worse and reminds us the DDP Drop 40 of next year have probably not been diagnosed yet.

It's also a good tip in general for deadpoolers around Christmas. Cancer plus sepsis = apparently fucked.

By speaking of deceased centenarian women:

 

Swedish artist Monica Cöster-Molbeck has died. Back in 2015.

http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2020/celebs_C.html#costermx19

 

"Avlidit" means "deceased", so no points at all here. 

https://www.svenskamagasinet.nu/nyhet_10574_monica-molbeck-har-avlidit-vid-101-ars-alder

 

Unsure what surprises me more: That she is already dead or that she did not manage to be 105.

German artist Helma Holthausen-Krüll is dead as well:

Good to see Maggie FitzGibbon has got a proper write-up; i chose her on the strength of her Manhunt role, not realising she'd had an eponymous TV series over here. I've also just found out she was Miss Flanagan & Allen in Morecambe & Wise!

 

P.S. Isn't Brett Sinclair a fictional character played by Roger Moore :scratchhead:?

Yes he is, in the Persuaders. I work with someone called Ben Sinclair and for the first few months I kept calling him Brett. 

Not as bad as the time I had to call a customer called Mr Bates and started the call with 'May I speak to Mr Norman please?'

Yes we (I) got caught out by him getting 5000 obits last week for not dying. It'll be taken down next time I fix the list.

Seriously they had 5 episodes on a week and its now down to 1!

 

Forces TV is quite good - seen Sapphire and Steel and Randall and Hopkirk off it in the last year. And Space 1999, which was a bit dire.
