Randoms

Russ Abbot (when did you last see 'im?)
Genesis P-Orridge (although, s/he's been "ill" for so long quite a few people are starting to think it's a bit of a scam...)
Bryan Ferry (I know, I went for him last year too but he has taken a sudden interest in reissues in the last 18 months or so)
Jeanette Krankie (again, "retired" from Panto...)
Siouxsie Sioux (I hope she's just retired and loving life but, y'know...one worries)

I can see Yoko going on forever and outlasting us all

UNFORTUNATELY

 

[Zu]

@octophone I occasionally find myself wondering how on earth Siouxsie is. When and where was she last seen? I expect she’s quite busy with her French dungeon or doing clever things with batik *dies tomorrow*

Also, I’d not entirely put it past the P-Orridge to make up a load of flannel for attention and a few extra quid...

Did you read Cosey's book? GP-O come across as an award-winning bastard, a psychopath and an abuser.

 

[Zu]

I did! Cover to cover (for once). Yes, he sounded absolutely dire to say the VERY least. Actually I realised via reading the book that their erstwhile Hackney abode is mere moments from where I live so I popped round to have a look the other week. No nude modelling or blood-letting in evidence, disappointingly

I think Phil will be kept alive until the day after his 100th Birthday.

I think Phil will be kept alive until the day after his 100th Birthday.

I'm still laughing at the message my sister sent me Xmas Eve...

I said: "Gonna watch Her Maj just to see how she deals with Andrew in her speech. Or more accurately, how she swerves it. Bit morbid but hey."

She replied: "It's going to miss out Phil dying as well cos I assume it was filmed before the fucking Weekend at Bernie's shit they've just pulled with his stuffed corpse".

Bump

 

[Indie]

First blood for me & @octophone

Still time to enter, kids.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That was QUICK.

 

[dmlaw]

I see that Ag and Indie both have three centenarians. Have we changed the rules or do I need to call for a steward's enquiry?

Who?

 

[Indie]

Who also? Genuine mistake if so. Will amend.

 

[Alla]

K. Douglas, V. Lynn and O. de Havilland. No idea about the third one by Ag.

Not the start I wanted but grimly inevitable.

 

[Rita]

I wouldn’t mind taking part in this but I have NO IDEA where to start.

thankyou darling. I shall have a little look.

 

[dmlaw]

Who?

As Alla says, Kirk Douglas and Vera Lynn. Katherine Johnson is also over 100, unless there is another one.

 

[Indie]

Taken out vera lynn. Will replace sometime today

 

[Indie]

As none of those three actually died and its before the deadline I think it's fine.

I don't think we have any choice other than to consider your entire list as provisional until corrected, meaning that any deaths up to date wouldn't count. It's the only fair way.

@Ellie you said you were putting a list together

 

[dmlaw]

I prepared a list last night but didn't post it. I'm going to have to amend as it had Nicholas FUCKING Parsons on it.

Damn it, I almost chose Kirk Douglas

 

[Indie]

I did

 

[dmlaw]

No, I picked Kirk Douglas in the Moopy Deathpool.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Ooh me too

 

[floppet]

Can't belive that after 15 years on my Moopy Deathlist Max Von Sydow dies and I hadn't transferred my 2019 post to the 2020 one!
