Someone in our group went to see Tony Benn being filmed about his life. She said he was in very poor health and not expected to last long enough to see the film air.

Also Nelson Mandella is on his last legs so with DOE you could have a cert treble.

Saw that an ex-Liverpool player had died. From the 60/70's. Forget his name now.

You must have been annoyed when Ian Brady lost his appeal.

Thatcher and Nolan gone, Brady wants to go, Starr facing stressful accusations & Norden aged 91...wouldn't rule out a full house there!

 

Bernie Nolan and the Sopranos actor were only 1-2 years older than me, which is a little worrying.

Provided I last another 3-4 weeks, I'll have outlived Joe Strummer (gulp!)

Not sure if I'd be tickled pink or genuinely worried I might unwittingly have contact with the Grim Reaper.
